[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This will sound mean and not in the spirit of the season but I recently saw a High School play where one of the leads (a senior) was belting out songs in a way that should have been seriously embarassing to her but instead, she presumably thought she sounded good, and again presumably because since she was in 3rd grade people have been applauding her at talent shows, variety shows, what have you, rather than offering constructive criticism.  Most of the kids at these "talent" shows are not talented, and it would not hurt most of them to be nudged towards working harder before they were accepted into a show, or before they were willing to go on stage and perform.  My guess is that the HS student I saw perform recently could have been much better if she had been told that she needed to be better, but alas, one too many "good jobs" might have gotten to her.  (reference to the excellent movie Whiplash, no need to go to those extremes, but there is a point to the push in that movie.)  [/quote]

A HS musical is not the same as an ES variety show. Yes, the person in charge should've done a better job at finding a better lead who could sing, but that's not the same thing as a Ker doing a *variety* show, not a *talent* show.[/quote]
