The real singer is ADORABLE! I hope she has plenty of people around her telling her so.

My little girls are half-asian and the smile on that one who appeared on stage just makes me want to melt

Pure idiocy. I think the girl who did the actual singing is the cutest.

China is taking westernization very seriously. Right down to our phony idols.

Yep, we got too many in our own country who would exhibit the same stupidity. Another example of other cultures only taking the worst of the West and ignoring Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and the rest.

“If only it was that easy to replace their ugly political system”

Bingo.

But come now. The NBC LeftCommentators can’t gush enough about the wonders of China and the ChiComm system.

Exactly. But what difference should it make anyway? What kind of a message does this send to young girls around the world?

I can't imagine the devastating effect this will have on the little girl deemed 'not pretty enough.' Where are the feminists who value the value of all woman?

(oh right, they only value tearing down and rejecting men and their productivity - to the mutual detriment of both men and women).

The one on the left looks like my sister when we adopted her at age 7. She married a Caucasian so her children are all mixed and Beautiful.

Those people are nuts!!

Hey ... fake but accurate, splash but no substance, just like BIG media, hollywood & Obama’s marxist presidential campaign.

The real singer is very cute and looks like a normal “real” kid.

Too bad, there are lots of Chinese I know and like.
Their rulers leave a lot to be desired.

I just saw these headlines on Drudge and they kinda remind me of China rule.

NYPD PLANS TO TRACK EVERY VEHICLE ENTERING MANHATTAN...
License plates to be captured into database...

Dhims are really worried about this one. And the thing is, it’s their own base they need to be worried about.
