chinese girl was lip singing

i had a feeling that it wasn't her, it just did not look right. not that this is much of a surprise since a lot of Hollywood singers do the same thing but i feel sorry for the little girl. she's going to be so conscientious with how her teeth is in the future.

What a stupid reason for not letting her sing, her teeth don't matter one bit.

I read that the girl that was supposed to be singing was replaced at the end because "she wasn't pretty enough".

That's totally horrid, after working hard, and making all the rehearsals being kicked out for a poser with straighter teeth? Horrible, absolutely horrible.

That's a bit harsh to replace her over something she can't do anything about.

Oh come on. She doesn't even look that bad.

I actually sent my views to the bbc on this one; it's not something I do regularly, I just think it's a bit irresponsible to make such a fuss of what the chinese have done here when we almost refuse to put "ugly" woman on our magazines, and we wouldn't put "ugly" women on the television as newsreaders. The Chinese have stated that it was done for theatrical purposes, and whilst it's somewhat predictable that the real reason is becxause the "ugly" girl wasn't perfect enough for the ceremony in the eyes of the communist government, going by what information we have been given I can't say they've done anything wrong. It's probably beszt to consider however, that the ceremony would have been criticized in the same way if the "ugly" girl had been used in the first place. ;-)

(Of course, I'm completely against the idea of those with more influence deciding what is pretty and what is not.)

when i was watching the opening i knew it wasn't her singing. the lips did not match one bit. i just think that saying that your teeth are messed up is just, heart breaking.

don't forget not everybody has health care and a dental plan

Oh well, Aesthetics rule all.

The girl had the talent, looks shouldn't come in to it.

The thing is, in magazines, your job is supposed to look good. That's their job.

But as a singer your job is to sing, not look good. I find the horrible.
