RE: This girl brought tears to my eyes
I'm sorry: no. I know what I'm talking about, with several relevant degrees.

This girl could be fantastic when she's older, but she's only hurting herself at this point. It was extremely painful for me to listen to and to see. No one her age, with organs not fully developed, should take on a piece like that. Her voice will be fucked in a few years unless she takes a break from what she's doing and takes on more appropriate pieces for her age. If she had a good voice teacher and vocal coach, they would encourage her not to do that to herself.

Do you think the likes of Cowell give two shits about all that? All they care about is how much golden eggs they get out of the goose.

I was responding to the OP; not making a comment on Simon Cowell, who, not only has no place judging anything operatic, but is a pretty low form of human, IMO. Not to mention the kid's mom, who should be strung up for letting her kid do that to herself.

I can't believe that song came out of that girl's mouth. Neither could the judge.

I can imagine this kind of thing would put a strain on the kid's vocal chords, so I can understand some posters being against this kind of thing. I'm just giving my opinion on her great singing voice, and not really judging what happens behind the scenes. I imagine that's not really what the video is about.

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.
