I saw her, too. Nikki someone I believe.
I think she's a good example of what children can do- the music she was
doing wasn't out of her reach. Her diction was quite good and she's got a
good sense of stage presence. The only thing that really disturbed me about
it was that platform they had her on at the closing ceremonies. I doubt I'd
be singing if someone stuck me that high in the air, in such a strong wind.
I'd be screaming to be let down ;)
Anyway. I hope that she doesn't have the typically abusive child prodigy
stage parents, and that she has some close guidance in not squandering what
she has. She'll have a pretty good future if that's the case.
