Default 9 years old Olympic opening ceremony singer mimed - Real singer "not pretty enough"

But the singer was Yang Peiyi, who was not allowed to appear because she is not as "flawless" as nine-year-old Lin. The show's musical director said Lin was used because it was in the best interests of the country.

Speaking on Beijing Radio station, musical director Chen Qigang said the organisers needed a girl with both a good image and a good voice.
Yang Peiyi had the perfect voice but apparently not the perfect face.

They faced a dilemma because although Lin was prettier, seven-year-old Yang had the better voice, Mr Chen said.

"After several tests, we decided to put Lin Miaoke on the live picture, while using Yang Peiyi's voice," he told the radio station.

"The reason for this is that we must put our country's interest first," he added. "The girl appearing on the picture must be flawless in terms of her facial expression and the great feeling she can give to people"

Girl that sang the actual recording

I think China has just disgraced it's Olympic games even more, she's nine years old for God's sake. China should have been proud of her singing, not condemn her because of her looks.

Screw your opinion, their opening ceremony is probably still the best ever.

From what I've learned of China and it's Sports Industry, I'm not all that surprised.

God forbid they have some ugly-*** child sing on stage and disgrace the whole country!

/sarcasm

Ex: many us citizens want China out of Tibet well many us citizens used slaves back then and took over foreign countries and lands so why don't they step the **** out of Puerto Rico?

but the difference is that.
its a 7 year old girl.
to do that to a young kid is very sad...
and the irony of all this is that part of the ceremony theme was

"the world is one, the kids are the future"

seems more like

"the kids are the future, tho if your ugly, well replace you with someone better looking"

they even had all the pictures of children from around the world smiling.
yet they do this? lolol.

What the hell are you even saying? Are you actually defending their actions, merely on the basis that everyone else is supposedly just as bad?

Give me a break, man.
