She is quite good for a seven-year-old. She is far too good for this ridiculous production.
Please cry more judges, random backstage family-member/person!

I'm not capable of mentally evolving beyond the point where we accept human art, talent and beauty presented in such an exploitation.

I really could not find less-harsh words for my thoughts, so maybe that's a bit much, but only barely.

Maybe it's because it's the saddest song in the world?

No, just the human element...

Why would you consider a child who obviously loves to perform, having such a high level of eidetic ability with so obscure a choice of a piece by such a youngster exploitation? It's not like she can do anything but develop more confidence and vocal skills having done so. Is she making NIKEs in some sweatshop in Kuala Lumpur or involved in child prostitution in Dubai? Fuck no, she's entertaining a huge audience with her performance of music.

Jeeez artician, over-thinking it a bit aren't we?

Agreed, these shows are crap for the most part, but I have a hard-on for hating television because so many people are programmed by it to become human mushrooms.

Exploitation was probably too harsh a word for it, but mainly my disgust is aimed at "reality" TV shows, that's all.
