Everyone could see she was lip-synching. Don't tell me other countries don't use lip-synching in their shows. This is just show business. Who doesn't want their shows to be perfect?

As for the fireworks. I have no doubt it would have been spectular even without the digital enhancement. They were one of the most amazing fireworks display I have ever seen. The digital stuff is just to enhance the overall effect for the show. But afterall, this is a tv show boardcast. I really do not see what is wrong with it. You get to see a great show produced for billions of people world wide, where the entire world gets together. That is what the ceremony is about. The ceremony should not be about China being "fake". Were the thousands of people performing in the show in unity fake? Were all the amazing props made for the show fake? They all have practiced and practiced for a long time to put on a spectular show.
I don't think the lipsynching itself was the problem. It was the fact that she was lipsyching someone else's singing and the only reason the singer wasn't allowed to be on stage was because she was 'too ugly'.
