Like I said in the edited post, I'm not judging what may be going on in the background. she may not do th opera thing all the time. Maybe she just did it for the show to put her best out there. I don't know. All I know is that she sang fantastically.
"The opera thing" takes years of training and discipline. I know. I did it.
And, no... she did not sing fantastically. It was painful. She yelled through it. I'm not talking about her talent; she has tons of it. She has no business "singing" Nessun Dorma (which, like Alex pointed out was written for a tenor), and the adults who not only let her, but encourage her, are using her as a novelty. It makes me sick and sad.

Claudia! She's an amazing voice teacher. I got a lot of good habits from her some few years ago.

"Experienced opera singers are alarmed". So I guess this is pretty bad. I have heard stories about kids being put on stage to make a show, and work harder than they should have to mainly for their parent's benefit. I guess when I see a talented kid on stage doing something cool, I focus more on the moment than the long term effects.

I admit, I am a huge fan of AGT.
Not digging it. I think she has some of the superficial sounds/mannerisms of an opera singer, and she's pretty good for a kid. I don't think she's really got that much talent, though. Her voice sounds strange, and not in a "unique and wonderful" way.

I can only guess that comes from what Ms Friedlander mentions in the article I linked as artificial darkening where you try to make a voice that simply doesn't yet have the physiology of an adult sound like one by force.

Well, she writes in the article why she thinks people are nevertheless touched by the girl's performance and why one shouldn't just dismiss that.

IMHO
I finally got around to checking out the video and not bad.
The links to the 'pros that know" do not know what kind of training she may have received.
I noticed a lack of evidence that it would destroy her for life.
Personally, I think kids should be doing physics and calculus by the ninth grade, so something simple like singing? Give me a break. I have been on a school bus and they spent more time screaming at the top of their voices for a much much longer time than that short performance.
KUDOS kid.

The bold is possibly the most insulting thing I've ever heard.
Actually, your entire post is extremely fucking insulting and wrong, and I actually had a physical reaction to it, which is extremely fucking rare.
Fuck.
You.
