Girl you know its true ... ooh ooh ooh, it wasn't you (singing.) Finally a nice juicy story for the press to run so we can avoid thinking about the recent unpleasantness that is the USA women's gymnastics team. (speaking of which, what is the degree of difficulty for the face-plant maneuver?)
Word is getting out that the little girl singing at the opening ceremonies was lip-syncing the song. The girl who actually laid the track was originally chosen to perform in front of billions, but it was apparently determined by party leaders that the 9 year old has a face for radio and needed to be replaced. So Lin Miaoke (who couldn't sing quite so well) took her place on the stage, but not on the microphone.
Other pleasant revelations? Lin probably wasn't even told that she was lip-syncing! Her dad had to tell her afterward. Oh, and neither girl was the first choice -- it was a 10 year old girl who was later determined to be way too old for the role. Oh, and I haven't even brought up the cartoon "fireworks."
Oh silly Communism, when will you learn that its Democracy's job to be shallow and image-conscious?
