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.
