QUOTED FROM MSN "BEIJING - Chinese officials
defended their decision to pass off the voice
of a 7-year-old songbird as that of another
girl at the Olympic opening ceremony, calling
it a simple casting choice. Critics said it
was a step too far in China's obsession with
the perfect Olympic Games.
Beijing organizers of the games faced tough
criticism Wednesday after a whistleblower
revealed that the 9-year-old who performed a
song during the spectacular opening ceremony
was lip-synching to another girl's vocal
track.
Yang Peiyi, a 7-year-old with bright eyes and
a smile made crooked by the stubs of her
first grown-up teeth, was heard by an
audience estimated in the billions during
Friday night's ceremony, singing "Ode to the
Motherland."
But they never saw her face.
Organizers passed the song off as being sung
by Lin Miaoke, another perky schoolgirl who
donned a sparkly red dress and soared on
wires above the 91,000-strong crowd at the
Bird's Nest stadium.
Beijing officials on Wednesday defended the
decision to use both girls, saying the
artistic directors could cast whoever they
saw fit. And they were unapologetic about
keeping the lip-synch a secret.
"There were a number of candidates to sing
that song and at the end of the day the
artistic directors picked the best voice and
the best performer," Beijing organizing
committee spokesman Sun Weide said.
Wang Wei, executive vice president of the
organizing committee, said the job of the
ceremony's directors was "to achieve the most
theatrical effect."
"I don't see there is anything wrong with it
if everybody concerned agrees," he said.
But the world's press ridiculed the move on
front pages from Romania to Australia.
"The counterfeit Games: designed to look good
from every angle," said a headline in The
Times of London. The Daily Telegraph urged
organizers of the 2012 London Games to "bring
some sanity and proportion back to both the
opening ceremony and the games themselves."
In Spain, one newspaper called it "Olympic
karaoke." A commentator for The Age newspaper
in Australia called it "the great Beijing
lip-synch switcheroo" and news on the
incident was headlined "China's wrong child
policy." The Romanian daily 7Plus ran this on
its front page: "Hoax! Made in China."
Baltimore Sun reporter Jill Rosen said the
switch was hardly the first case of
lip-synching, but was "possibly the
cruelest."
New York Magazine called on record executives
to give Peiyi a record deal, saying "She's 7!
She has buckteeth! She is adorable!"
The Chinese leadership consider the Beijing
Olympics a matter of national prestige and
the opening extravaganza, attended by a host
of leaders including President Bush, was
intended to wow the world."
