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.
