Sad. I hate that the choice was made. I thought the real singer was cute.

BEIJING (Reuters) - The decision to have a pretty face lip-synching during the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony instead of the actual singer was taken after consulting with broadcasters, Games organisers said on Wednesday.

So they all knew. NBC knew it. Bob Costa knew it.

Everyone will continue to be amazed by the Opening Ceremonies. That was the most impressive Olympic O.C. that I have ever seen. Everybody is still talking about it at work. And, of course combined with the truly outstanding architecture… it will be very difficult to top it in 2012

Damn it China…more fodder for folly! And I was all like ‘take that Speilberg’ while watching the opening ceremonies.

I knew it was lip-sync from the start but I didn’t suspect that it was another child altogether. I kind of feel bad for the older girl, she’s now China’s version of Milli-Vanilli.

How is the real singer not cute? I don’t know what standard China goes by and it shouldn’t matter.

Thanks for the link, Zhangfei. She’s totally cute! Hopefully the media continues to focus on her.

Man, I think this was just terrible PR for China.

Little Yang has become a fan favorite. Look at these pics. She is a good-looking kid.

That’s ridiculous, she’s a little cutie, and oh, so stylish in her pink and white sweater!
Wow, I really hope they make room for her to do something for the closing ceremonies. She deserves a chance at the spotlight.

Maybe the other girl’s family had some kind of connections.

That’s so mean! Especially since the first child is totally adorable.

The 2nd girl isn’t cuter, she’s just smiling more in that picture. Really now. Little kids are always cute.
