[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't watch talent shows, but from observing many child and youth recitals and concerts in our area, I know that it takes guts, intelligence and a TON of practice to deliver what many would think is a merely "good" performance. They're kids, it doesn't necessarily come easily for them in terms of hand-eye coordination, memorization, judgement calls, etc, not as easily as for adults.

I would be prepared to bet that these kids ARE talented, OP. You're just blase about it because you haven't sweated like them and don't know what it's like.[/quote]

I think what it really takes is a set of parents to push, push, push and make sure the kid does nothing but their "talent," in hopes of getting their big break and thus, moneymonyemoney.  I don't think anyone here is talking about a kid who truly loves singing and practices because they feel their own drive to get better and do what they enjoy, much like a kid who loves to draw would spend their free time doing that.  A dance recital is a far cry from putting your kid in a televised "talent show."

Homework: Google "Lil Maxso," who made the talk show circuit years back as "the world's youngest rapper!!!"  It was all his dad's doing.  The kid is grown now and yet, still without that elusive fame.  Or, probably, income.[/quote]
