WHAT?!
While watching last week's opening ceremonies of the Olympics, I thought to myself how adorable the little girl was who sang China's national anthem. Adorable with a voice like a precious hummingbird! Well, it turns out the pretty little girl was lie-telling to us all! She lip-synched the whole thing. She's the Zelma Davis of China!
Chinese officials confirmed that they decided at the last minute to pull 7-year-old Yang Peiyi (on the right) from the opening ceremonies, because they felt her teeth were too wonky to represent their country. They replaced her with 9-year-old Lin Miaoke who lip-synched to Yang's voice.
The ceremony's music director said, "The main consideration was the national interest. The child on the screen should be flawless in image, in her internal feelings and in her expression. When we had the dress rehearsals, there were spectators from various divisions, including above all a member of the politburo who gave us his verdict: we had to make the swap." Was Jeff Lewis from Flipping Out the musical director? Harsh!
Peiye claims she wasn't upset after she was told she couldn't perform, "I am proud to have been chosen to sing at all." Peiye is way too nice. I would've sabotaged Miaoke by making the track skip! That way Miaoke would've just stood there, shrugged and danced a jig like Ashlee Simpson.
That wasn't the only fake thing about the opening ceremonies. The 29 fireworks footprints were digitally added later. A cameraman in a helicopter filmed the fireworks as they were happening live, but producers thought the footage might be too shaky.
So what was real?! I actually gave a standing ovation to that shit! I got my lazy ass off of the couch and I never do that! AND I even toasted the TV with my martini. I feel so cheated! I want my money back!

Do your homework before you write anything.
It was not Chinese national anthem that she sang.
Don't like it fake?
How did you hurt you fucking Americans for not seeing a girl with crooked teeth singing something you probably never care??
You guys just don't know China at all. So shut the fuck up!

The Chinese are up to their asses in this shit, people.
They want to make a good impression.
No ugly people allowed.
Hundreds of thousands of the migrant workers who built Olympic venues and beautified the city have already been sent home. Now Beijingers whose homes don't meet the organisers' high standards are being hidden behind walls and screens. Last week, the city even offered residents sartorial advice. Combining more than three colours or teaming white socks with black shoes are off-limits. When authorities can't re-dress, repaint or replant eyesores, they conceal them. Temporary barriers now obstruct housing and shops as well as building sites and wasteland. "They think it will make a bad impression on foreigners," explained Yan, gesturing at his one-storey home in south Beijing. Anew barrier, covered in Olympics artwork, ensures that it cannot be seen from one main route into the city. Close by, awoman instructed a volunteer district warden to call if he saw any foreign journalists. "They are not allowed to take photos here," she said. Along the road, shopkeeper Li gazed at a two-metre wall. Outside, it is plastered smooth and painted grey, with stencilled Olympic logos. On the inside, concrete spurts between uneven brickwork indicate the speed with which it was constructed 10 days earlier. "It's bound to affect my business," he said. "But there's no point complaining, because the authorities decided to do it. I just hope it will come down afterwards." A sign on the shoe shop next door advertised its last day of trading. "What's the point in staying? No one can even see my shop anymore," said its owner. Beijing's measures reflect an international pattern of urban regeneration in which "people are decanted and taken away" if they do not fit the image that governments seek, said Rob Imrie, professor of geography at King's College London. Efforts step up when major events are involved. "Look at how sanitised the G8 summits are... it's clear that certain individuals are not welcome... but also that those involved are not supposed to see certain parts of their environment." Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of migrant workers have already left - displaced by the closure of building sites and factories to cut pollution, but also by tougher residence and security checks. Nicholas Bequelin of Human Rights Watch, said: "A lot of migrant workers are really second-class citizens - there's no room for them in... shiny new Beijing." Last month, Reuters reported that dozens of recycling stations would close for the games, after a report from a Beijing government adviser urged officials to "convince" the 170,000 rubbish collectors to return home until autumn. The Xinhua news agency quoted labourers describing the departure as a necessary sacrifice.

Nice new avie
That was so obvious that she was lip-synching. The one with funny teefs is just a child and she looks cute too! Much more authentic and a bit vulnerable. Children happen to have funny teefs before they wear braces, it's not a big deal.
Sad story. The one who was pulled will be traumatized about her looks for the rest of her life.

Our whole media is based around talentless people who look "good" on camera, so I guess we can't be throwing stones.

so true. lip syncing happens on almost every single american 'live' music tv show! expect the voice is a 'computerized' version of the 'good looking' asshole who cant sing.
That's sad. They are both cute.
I'll just put roach powder in my drink now. Ugh.
I'm depressed.
Wait, nevermind. There's still porn and dancing until 6 in the morning.

It might not be bird fru... although it'd sure as shit be bad if it were. There's a 75% death rate in some countries...

I didn't even think about this before, but what with the bird fru and all sorts of diseases in China, and people from all over the world going there for the Olympics who will inevitably go home and take new diseases with them, could we be at the doorway of another pandemic?
Actually, this story makes me so sad that I'm going to make myself a drink. I sure wish I had some Tang though. I guess I'll have to settle for vodka/soda.
Don't judge. It's after 5pm on the East Coast, plenty late enough to start to get into a blackout.

People Suck!
She's just a kid for chrissakes, it doesn't matter if she's cute or not, the least she could do was sing for reals and not have to lip synch that crap, it's the damn Olympics!!!!...geez, they're just as facist as we are in terms of looks, aren't they?
Your face!
@Salem13
Lol, you right! I remember that!
And also that other celebrity that had said something about them deserving the quakes becuz of how they were treating Tibet... Who was that again? Weren't they threatening to sure then too? Can't really blame them for that one tho, that was f*cked up...
For all we know there is a really ugly kid singing for Miley Cyrus. Ashley Simpson just got it all wrong. She should have neither sang nor been in front of the camera.
Didn't Blues Traveler do a mocking video like this? The heavy leader singer and the real band were behind stage curtains while the "pretty boy" band was stage front?
Still, both little girls are cute. In different ways. Maybe the girl on the left has more "stage presence" if you will. While the girl on the right obvious has a beautiful voice.
The Chinese government is presenting a global image, or product to the world. This another day on the job.

Oooooh! Cunt gravy in 30 minutes or less. Yes, that's with 2 tablespoons of E.V.O.O., two large cloves of garlic, a ham bone, some flour and good old fashioned cunt drippings. If you do not have a cunt, dick drips are ok too.
Then, heat in a medium saucepan on medium heat for 15 minutes.
It's all done.

Oh, I loved that kid! He looked more like 6 than 9 though. Hearing about all these shady things regarding the opening ceremony, I am starting to doubt that anything was real. That kid was awful cute! It makes me wonder if that whole thing was made up and they just plucked some adorable little boy to play a role.
-------------------------------------------------
I know right, he looked so tiny for a 9 year old. If he was acting he was a GREAT actor! He was very discipled and calm for his age, and when he said "Thank you" he did not have an accent did you notice that?
Awe, they're both cute. What a fudged up thing to do to a kid. And I wouldn't put it past those "officials" to tell Yang that mommy or daddy might get into a little 'accident' if she didn't say that "it was an honor" crap. Fudge!! And to think that I gave a standing ovation also :(

why make it such a big deal?
dont americans fake it all the time?
at least they didnt try to hide it, they did give credits to Yang.
This doesn't really surprise me.
I'm sure the American media is just as guilty of doing this, and worse. Wrapping up a package all nice and neat, and marketing it to the American public. There's a lot we just consume without looking too closely at it.
Image, and at least the appearance of honor, saving face, is everything over there.
I wonder what Kirk Cameron would have to say about this?
