It's spoilt the ceremony for me somewhat, and I can't imagine who benefits from spreading this information, except media companies. The children and the Chinese certainly don't. If you were judged too ugly would you want the whole world to know about it? I mean, do the public benefit from knowing this (it spoils the feel good associations I'd developed) and it effectively erases the huge effort and expense the Chinese went to wow us. Worse, it distracts from the Games. Childish nitpicking if you ask me.
Her proud father, who learned of her singing role only 15 minutes before the ceremony, watched on television and noticed "that the voice was a little different from hers."
On Tuesday, Lin Hui said in a telephone interview that he had assumed "the difference might be caused by the acoustics."
But acoustics had nothing to do with it. Under pressure from the highest levels of the ruling Communist Party to find the perfect face and voice, the ceremony's musical director concluded that the only solution was to use two girls instead of one.
