Ashlee Simpson is a role model?
Per the Michael Bristow of BBC News, Beijing:
During the opening ceremonies little Lin Miaoke won the hearts of worldwide audience as she sang “Ode to the Motherland”. However, little Lin wasn’t actually singing, it was in-fact Yang Peiyi. Unfortunately the powers that be, didn’t allow Yang Peiyi sing because she isn’t “flawless.”
Musical director Chen Qigang said the organizers needed a girl with both a good image and voice:
“The reason for this is that we must put our country’s interest first,” he added.
“The girl appearing on the picture must be flawless in terms of her facial expression and the great feeling she can give to people.”
There is nothing that really needs to be said after that as every child’s smile has a special beauty to it.
