« Mushroom Head Is A Man
That’s Not Hot! »

Like many others, I watched the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics last Friday and thought it was awe-inspiring. I was very proud of the hardworking Chinese and the efforts they had put forth in preparing for the opening ceremony. I really enjoyed watching the fireworks, only to find out yesterday that some of the them were created digitally. Today I found out that the cute little girl (Lin Miaoke) that sang the song, “Ode to the Motherland” was actually lip-syncing to the sound of another girl, 7-year-old Yang Peiyi. The reason for the switch, as explained by the ceremony’s musical director, was that Yang was not as cute as Lin. For an important event like this, they wanted someone who was “flawless in image” and little Lin fit the bill just right. Poor little Yang. She is going to grow up hating herself. She will always remember that she was rejected by the government for her looks. 

As if the last minute switch was not bad enough, China Daily newspaper featured an article on Tuesday praising little Lin for her heartwarming performance and saying that she is well on her way to stardom. This is like giving the former pop duo Milli Vanilli a Grammy Award. Wait, they did give these fakes a Grammy!

This would not have happened if the Philippines were to organize the Olympics. They would send their national dynamite Charice Pempengco to do the job. Glass will shatter and buildings will collapse once she opens her mouth to sing. She has the looks to go with her stunning voice too.

I think when the actual singer grows up she’ll be pretty. She doesn’t even look bad.


I feel so sorry for the girls.


Doesn’t mean China has to do it.


As sad as it is, it happens all the time though.


I’m with you, Jasmin. I heard the whole argument about China’s need to have everything perfect, and it does not hold water. The singer is cute in an ordinary-kid way. I think it was unfair to both girls.


For a child, it’s unfair. Are they trying to traumatize her?


It’s expected. What can you do?


They’re just haters.


Aw, that’s kinda messed up; it’s just a kid… not some supermodel representing the face of China.
It’s actually amazing how they put together such an elaborate ceremony-- I visited Beijing last summer and the stadium was just being finished I think.


It’s China, everyone is going to be critical which sucks.

Wow fireworks digitally added in. It’s so serious..../sarcasm lol. The little girl being fake is wrong however it’s not like it doesn’t happen.

But the fireworks? It seems like people are just nitpicking now. The performance was great and everyone agreed, can we just leave it at that?

Apparently we can’t just leave it at that, crazy media. They just can’t believe how phenomenal the Chinese opening ceremony was so now they are digging for all the dirt they can dig for.

That’s mean. They should have just put the other girl and put make up on her.


Yeah that is a big ‘OUCH’. Though this happens all the time in show business. I know, doesn’t make it right. They are also complaining that some of the fireworks were digitally added in.


ouch that’s harsh =/
