Child singer at the Olympics denied camera airtime due to her looks - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was watching NBC 4 this morning and there was a report about a cute little girl that was singing a song at the olympics but it was reported that she was lip-synching. The real voice was coming from the little girl behind the stage that was denied camera airtime because she was not cute enough to be onstage.

Has anyone else heard about this matter?

Yeah I watched it on the news last night, plus some of the fireworks where fake.

I heard about that too. Things like that happen in America all the time. Society always puts appearance over talent and personality.

I saw pictures of both girls and I think both of them are beautiful.

That was some jacked up mess. I don't like stuff like that. Wow! Whose idea was that to pull a Milli Vanilli?

pretty bad.

That is BS!

I saw that on the news. How terrible.

I heard about it. I actually thought the little girl that was denied was cuter, to tell you the truth. She had bad teeth, but wtf she's like 7 don't we all at that age?

sunshinefizzy · 08-13-2008, 01:48 PM

They were both cute. I just hope the girl that was denied is given a second chance. She is the better person in the matter and I hope she comes away from this a stonger girl.

Lodee · 08-13-2008, 05:08 PM

Wow, that's terrible. But she's not a "better" person than the one that they showed. It's not the "cuter" girls fault.

What are we teaching young girls like them by allowing this to happen? Imagine what this is doing to that girls self-esteem!

I agree, poor little girl.

Furienna · 08-13-2008, 07:47 PM

That was a really stupid thing to do.
