CommentChinese defend Olympic ceremony lip-synch - Beijing Olympics News - MSNBC.com

Lin Miaoke, left, is shown during the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games on Friday. An official ordered her to lip-synch 'Ode to the Motherland' because seven-year-old singer Yang Peiyi, right, wasn't deemed cute enough.


i just kept uttering oh my god, oh my god and oh my god. especially at the headlines made by media over the world. “Olympic karaoke.” “China’s wrong child policy.” “the great Beijing lip-synch switcheroo” ....

well yeah, i felt bad too for the vocalist. on one hand, it just goes to cement the fact that people nowadays put 'packaging' and external looks above all else but really,i think china just wanted to make it a great event at the end of the day. so leave it alone la. one day of it is enough. there's no need for a few-day kind of story.

there are more important things in the world than to debate over such a small issue.
