BEIJING (AFP) - The little girl who starred at the Olympic opening ceremony was miming and only put on stage because the real singer was not considered attractive enough, the show's musical director has revealed.

Pigtailed Lin Miaoke was selected to appear because of her cute appearance and did not sing a note, Chen Qigang, the general music designer of the ceremony, said in an interview with a state broadcaster aired Tuesday.

Photographs of Lin in a bright red party dress were published in newspapers and websites all over the world and the official China Daily hailed her as a rising star on Tuesday.

But Chen said the girl whose voice was actually heard by the 91,000 capacity crowd at the Olympic stadium during the spectacular ceremony was in fact seven-year-old Yang Peiyi, who has a chubby face and uneven teeth.

I saw that 10 minutes ago on Euronews! Anyway, when it comes down to politics, do you seriously expect them to care for the feelings of a 7 year old? Or to do anything for the sake of truthfulness? I'm not at all surprised, though I obviously condemn their choice. Clearly it would have been a better move to put the "ugly" girl singing in front of a camera, people would have been amazed at her talent and wouldn't even be able to tell whether she was gorgeous or a koala or whatever.
