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

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

Tear to your eye - bah - humbug.

She is so cute, and doing so well, you go way beyond just a Scrooge, you
are an out and out crumudgin. I am always a sucker for a cute kid
excelling at something. But then again, I have 3 perfect kids, so that
might explain it.

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.

I agree some parents do push their kids too hard, but according to
Connie she is the one who insisted her Mom sign her up.

She really seems to be a very well adjusted kid. while my two girls
do/did very well in school, I have a son who excels academically. When
he was in high school, he took every AP class available, so that he
started college as a 1 semester junior. He had a 4 yr scholarship with
a per diem that more than covered his living expenses, so that he would
spend the summer traveling in Europe. After 2 years, he decided he
wanted to teach at the college level, and wanted to have a Ivy League
degree, so he transfered to Columbia and started over as a junior. At
no time did I push him to set his standards so high, that was just him.
In high school, I suggested he take study hall, and he was upset with
me for suggesting he take it easy.

I have the feeling this girl would have been just as upset if her
parents said she could not join the contest.

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)

I've seen this one before...he's one of the best amateurs I've heard,
but no one sang Nessun Dorma like Pavarotti. He could hit that A above
middle C at will and hold it.
