Children Singers
First I wrote about Lady Gaga, and now child prodigies, people must think I'm here to just criticize musicians more talented than me! That is not the case lol! Where do I start here... Shows like "America's Got Talent" often celebrate young singers who can sing big songs. And by young, I'm referring to those around ages 6-11. Often they go on these competitive shows and perform a song with a lot of belting and everyone goes "He/She is so talented! I have to vote for them!" I think these singers sound terrible. Who wants to hear a little kid sing a song about love (something they obviously don't understand yet), do fake and rehearsed hand movements, and shout their way through all their notes? Sure it's talent to be able to stay on pitch at a young age and do these songs but who cares? I know I don't. I don't want to see a kid pretending to be an adult. I would much rather hear these singers perform when they're older, when they DO experience love, when their voice develops and makes tone that is actually enjoyable. What's sad is that I'm sure there were a few great singers in their teens and twenties that got turned down by these competitions because they didn't at impulse seem as impressive. There's only one exception to my view on children vocalists. That's Michael Jackson. R.I.P.
