Olympic Fakery Enrages Bloggers

Iria

Bloggers were up in arms on Wednesday over China's decision at the Olympic opening ceremony to have a pretty little girl lip-synching for the real singer who had crooked teeth.

Many said they felt cheated because one of the most touching moments of the critically acclaimed ceremony was not the real deal.

I guess they refuse to acknowledge that their favorite singers do it too, right?

From what I read the "cute" girl didn't know she was being dubbed.

and China thought it was perfectly fine to do this too.....

lip syncing is widely prevalent in all recorded performances. while it is mildly disapointing, i think there are many, many, more important things to get upset about.
would all bloggers involved please get a life...

I think some of the "outrage" is because neither the girl nor her father knew she was dubbed. Can you imagine the disappointment?

mike2h

if that is true then the girl & her parent(s) should be pissed & i can understand other people being upset for them & on their behalf.
i just dont agree with being upset about lypsync itself. while i think its use was tacky, no biggie.
i actually think lypsyncing is kinda pathetic, if u cant do the performance get of the stage/whatever. but it is very widely used, has been for some time & is beinng used more &more & is music industry norm. so y get panties in bunch over it.
wanna get upset over something china did then get pissed about those underage girls they used in gymnastics, not takin away from their excellent performance(wich did deserve gold), just sayin that there is no way a couple of them are 16
