[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pink and Cher were performing with their kids. Duet style. Blue Ivy had at least two solos where she was the show - the central performer with a team of back up dancers. Beyoncé wasn’t on stage with her.

I don’t think Taylor Swift or Michelle Kwan were doing world tours at 13 either? A quick google tells me Taylor Swift was 19/20 he first time she did a mini tour and Michelle Kwan first went to the Olympics at 16. [/quote]

So your issue is with kids of a certain age performing solos?

Michelle Kwan did quite a few competitions prior to the Olympics— on a national and international level. At 12, against the wishes of her coach, she passed a test that would let her compete at a senior level.  So a very public career at a very young age, after intense preparation from early childhood.    I know less about Taylor Swift, but I believe that she signed her first record contract at 15 or so, and had been performing and writing songs since 12 or 13, when her family moved near Nashville for Taylor’s career.   Both had quite a bit of family support.  And both performed solo, with national and international audiences.

I’m trying to tease out what the concerns are about Blue Ivy — that are somehow different from other young performers. [/quote]

NP. Kwan and Swift were on stage due to their talent. Young skaters are also the norm. Blue Ivy is on stage due to her mother’s talent.

I didn’t find Blue’s involvement in the Renaissance tour inappropriate (also included a dance break) but she seems to be integrated into the entire show now. [/quote]

Olympic ice skating and gymnastics have both introduced a minimum age for competitors.
