So apparently the "cute" little girl in the
Olympic Opening Ceremonies was lip synching. Why are people surprised, it seemed obvious to me that she had to lip synching. I mean you can't smile that big and still sing at all reasonably well. If you watch real singers, there lips actually
move. They say that that girl thought it was her own recording (she did one). Well, unless she has never heard it (which means this wasn't a last minute decision, but one from day one and they played to get her to think it was her voice) she had to know that she wasn't singing at least, if not know outright that it was someone elses. It seems she was more concerned with smiling than singing to me...
which could be the reason they didn't use her voice. I figure it out right away (I thought it anyway) and didn't really give a rat his gluteus.
And on the note of the ceremonies... did anyone else attempt to what it only to get bored half way through? Visual are nice, but for hours and hours??? Seriously, there is no amount of money that would have helped that show (clearly since I've heard reports of it costing of $100 million or
more!!!). These are the Olympia, do we really care that China gave us paper, fireworks, blah blah blah blah? We are not here to learn history, but to watch the greatest athletic competition in the world. Where almost every sport athlete gathers. A games where in the millenniums back wars would stop to participate and compete. Nation against nation. So do I really care that China also gave us the press?
I mean they won the games on the back of they illustrious history. The Olympics seem to symbolize both great struggle and achievements that overcame them. And all we get is a lip synching girl on a flag singing about how great fireworks, the press and paper is?* What a grand waste of money.
This from a country which has so many poor areas. Where they are people displaced without fair compensation to make way for these Olympics or more energy for Shanghai and Beijing. And we watch about how great paper is!?
Seriously?
I could have made a better show with 1/4 that money, that was shorter and donated the rest to the poor.
Whoever they paid to make that show should be charge with grand theft. Cause they got ripped off.
Rant over.

*Please spare me the comments about how that isn't what she was singing about. I know that, it's a hyperbole.
