Has anyone seen this? What do you think? I only heard about it the other day, came across videos of some of the acts on the internet. It seems to be a bit like X- factor or American Idol or something but people can do other stuff besides sing, and its not restricted to people over 16. I dont think I can watch it from where I am, but will be keeping track of whats going on. Did anyone else hear that amazing 11 year old singer that was on it last week or so I think? Video here....

Yuk. I'm afraid I thought it was horrible.

That girl can YELL. There was nothing musical or tuneful in that performance and the choice of song was wrong for an 11 year old. Like Amber, I would be concerned for her voice in the long term - if she keeps going like that, she won't have a voice by the time she's 16.



QUOTE(sarah-flute @ Jul 6 2006, 11:34 PM) *

It was... scary. Yes, she has a big voice. But I can't say I enjoyed it much. And I agree with the others, one wonders what will happen to her voice if she's encouraged to keep singing that way.



QUOTE(Cyrilla @ Jul 7 2006, 05:02 PM) *

I SO agree with the old-lady rants about this girl, her voice and the too-quick growing up of today's children...

I could quote a number of other similar posts on this thread, but I do agree with the sentiments in the posts I've quoted above.

If I'm not old enough, can I be called Maricia instead?
