Infuriating!

I believe everyone who has been in craze of the Olympics would've heard about the recent news of this young and pretty 9-year-old girl, Lin Miao Ke, and of course, the 7-year-old "backstage singer"- Yang Pei Yi.

A picture of Lin Miao Ke:

Yang Pei Yi:

The recent news of Lin Miao Ke lip-synching (apparently leaving the real singer -Pei Yi, uncredited) during the opening of the Olympics was really shocking. If nobody had split the beans out, when will the truth come to light?

Personally, I feel that its a very DISCRIMINATING incident, especially the fact that they are only young kids. (When I was their age, I only knew how to play brick towers and speak gibberish =X)

What's this democracy against Pei Yi? It has been reportedly said that her looks are not good enough, and that's the reason of why Miao Ke was chosen for the performance instead - using Pei Yi's melodious singing voice for the opening ceremony.

Its saddening to see that poor Pei Yi was being given unfair treatment, in terms of outlook. I mean, what's wrong with her face? I feel that she has everything that fits the bill. Her voice, looks, etc. (She may not be as pretty as Miao Ke, but she's surely CUTER than her!) I certainly don't think she is ugly at all! Why does she have to do all the backstage work, and giving Miao Ke all the limelight which she does not totally deserve? Furthermore, isn't this considered a deceiving act?

To me, I feel that its the true ability that counts. No one is 100% perfect in this world, which is a reality that all of us have to face. In other words, everyone is worthy in their own strengths and abilities in one way or another.

Although its no denial that Miao Ke has what it takes, (in terms of looks and beauty) , but there's no reason to leave Pei Yi uncredited in the first place either. In anyway, I'm glad that Pei Yi's ability and talent has been acknowledged since the truth has came to light.

Remember Lin Miao Ke, but not forgetting Yang Pei Yi, too!
