This poor little girl is being humilli vanilliated! It turns out that nine-year-old Lin Miaoke that “sang” Ode to the Motherland at the Olympics opening ceremony this past Friday was not actually singing. The real singer was Yang Peiyl and poor Yang was not put in front of the crowed “for the national interest.” Chen Qigang, the general music designer of the opening ceremonies said, . “The child on camera should be flawless in image, internal feeling and expression.” So, basically the ruling Communist Party wanted the perfect face and voice. Way to give a little girl a complex at a young age.

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    I haven’t seen a clip of the song-which one was the lip syncher and which was the singer? They are both SO adorable, I can’t imagine either of them being considered less than perfect to represent China!

    I know! They’re both so adorable! The girl pictured on the left is the syncher, and the girl on the right is the singer. I love that it’s “national interest” that one is cuter than the other. ridiculous.

    Actually, I’m pretty sure the girl on the right was the syncher and the girl on the left was the one who actually sang.

    I guess her teeth are better…

    georgiababe,

    You’re absolutely right. I swear that’s what I meant to write, I just hit post before proofreading ALWAYS. The girl on the right is the syncher. I’m an idiot.

    They are both really adorable, but then again – China hasn’t always had a good record of valuing girls in the first place.

    Oh Nads, you rock. You’re not an idiot. :)

    Probably just a very tired person. Aren’t we all?
