What do you think about the lip-synch in the Beijing Olympic opening?
It has been reported recently that a girl considered to have a good image for television rather than a girl with a good voice was used to lip-synch to the voice of another performer during the opening ceremony.
Olympic games opening ceremony producers decided just 15 minutes before the show to replace 7-year-old Yang Peiyi with 9-year-old Lin Miaoke, who wore a red dress and appeared to sing “I Sing For My Country.” Instead we have now been told that Miaoke did the lip-synch to Yang’s recording
Chen, the music director, told CCTV the switch was made because Lin looked better on television while Yang had a better voice.
Does it worry you that a lip-synching performer was seen during the Olympic opening ceremony or do you think the artist with a voice considered worthy to be listened to should have also had her face beamed around the world, even if she was not as cute?
