To be honest, Chinese are more reliable in this case. They did it and they told the truth by themselves to the public. Aussie probably wanted to keep the secret forever.

Exactly bellboy, aren't you the one who said that Thorpe is a joke and Phelps makes you want to be a better person? Just when the hell did you become a Aussie?

Bit like trolls who bag Australia through a multitude of different IDs, despite being the one person. Dont really know why, and I really dont care . And life goes on just the same .

this has already been posted today but anyway - it would be stupid for any major event to even consider using live music & singers in case of technical stuff up. They use prerecorded music at all of these events to minimize the risk of error, the singer could get stage fright & forget the words, there might be too much feedback so things aren't in time - just safer this way.

...was also faked in parts.

"Sydney Symphony has admitted miming its performance at the 2000 Olympics, in a revelation which casts new light on the criticism China received for its opening ceremony fakery.

While Chinese org i s e ers were slammed for having child singer Lin Miaoke mime her performance, it has been revealed that much of the Sydney opening ceremony was also mimed — with some parts even recorded by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

"It was all pre-recorded and the MSO did record a minority of the music that was performed," the Sydney Morning Herald reported Sydney Symphony managing director Libby Christie as saying.

"It's correct that we were basically miming to a pre-recording."

Beijing org *** ers drew worldwide scorn for having nine-year-old Lin stand in for fellow Chinese girl Yang Peiyi.

Yang was deemed not pretty enough to appear in the lavish production, despite providing her voice for the song "Hymn to the Motherland".

There was further criticism when it was revealed that the fireworks that lit up Beijing in the ceremony's television broadcast were actually computer animated.

"It was purely a workload issue," Melbourne Symphony Orchestra managing director Trevor Green was reported as saying.

"The miming side of it is perfectly normal … there are millions of people watching and if something goes wrong you'd be snookered."

Mr Green also admitted to using a backing tape at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games opening ceremony in 2006, while Ms Christie acknowledged the opening of the Rugby World Cup in 2003 was also mimed."
