I read that and I'm not sure if I was saddened or disgusted.

For those not opening the link, apparently the little girl who sang in the opening ceremony was lip syncing and the real singer was a 7 year old girl. The 7 year old girl won the contest to sing, but apparently wasn't cute enough to be in the ceremony because of buck teeth.

Edited to add:
I have no problem with lipsyncing in performances such as these. Performing in arenas with noise and echos is incredibly difficult, and I would assume even more so for a young girl.
