Times Online - China banned child singer with crooked teeth from singing at opening ceremony (click for the pictures)

The cute little girl whose sweet-voiced rendition of one of China’s favourite revolutionary anthems started off the Olympic opening ceremony performance may not have been all that she seemed. Little Lin Miaoke, it has been revealed, was only lip-synching.

Officials have now admitted that the voice that rang out through the vast Bird’s Nest stadium was really that of seven-year-old Yang Peiyi, who may have had the voice of an angel but whose crooked teeth made her unsuitable for the opening ceremony’s top spot.

Poor little thing. And what about the other girl, too. And what about the whole… allegory at work now.
