China dubbed little girl’s voice at Beijing Opening Ceremony
Remember the cute little girl in the red dress who sang “Ode to the Motherland” at the Opening Ceremony? Well, she didn’t really sing the song. Apparently, the little girl whose voice was used, Yang Peiyi, wasn’t cute enough. It was deemed bad for China’s image to show a little girl with crooked teeth.
Now, I realize this type of thing is done all the time in performances. Audrey Hepburn’s voice was dubbed for “My Fair Lady”, for example. But something about passing over a child for crooked teeth just seems, well, wrong.
You can read more about the situation and see pictures of both girls here. Personally, I think they’re both cute as can be.
iF A LITTLE GIRL HAD BAD TEETH CHINA SPENT MORE MONEY ON ONE SEAT TO SIT IN AND SHE COULD HAD EVERY ONE OF HER TEETH REPLACED FOR THE COST OF BUYING ON CHAIR.
