Pop stars face the music over lip-syncing
Posted
Authorities in the Chinese province of Sichuan say two Chinese pop singers face fines amounting to around $12,000 for lip-syncing during a concert.
The two women are alleged to have mimed through a concert last September.
A ban on the practice was brought in after a young girl was embarrassingly revealed to have lip-synced at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
The actual singer, who had crooked teeth, was not considered pretty enough to appear.
