Eh - didn't do anything for me when I first saw it.

Talented sure - amazing poise for a six year old of course.

I thought she had a very nice voice and near perfect pitch. However, I
have to admit that I find something troubling about kids that age (I
think she was six?) becoming involved in high stakes competition,
pressure and/or professional careers. They are kids for cripes sakes.
Maybe I am wrong, but if I were one of her parents, I'd encourage her to
enjoy her singing, maybe take some music and voice lessons, but keep it
low-keyed until she was in her teens.

It disturbs me that the possibility of adults influencing a kid at that
age, exploiting a talent for financial gain exists.

Yep, I was really put out that Earl Woods had the nerve to drive his son at
such and early age to learn golf. Remember seeing him on the Johnny Carson
show when the kid was 5 or 6. I thought to myself, let the kid have a
childhood so he'll grow up to be something. 8)
