I think there is a lot of talent out there and a lot of people with talent are stuck in various jobs or careers who don't know how good they are and shows like this are kind of their "shot in the dark" avenues. Shows like these take criticism but in a very real way they sort of serve to find talent that perhaps slip through the cracks of the mainstream music industry. She should have a nice future - but Opera is one of those things where people are picky and it's a who you know kind of thing (Ahem Sarah Brightman).

I recently heard this Pizza delivery guy try out and I was quite impressed and in his own way just as likeable as this girl. Opera and Sinatra on mainstream TV - That ain't bad.

Rather than the tenor Calaf, why not the soprano Salome? I'd love to watch her audience as she tore through "Ah, Du wolltest mich deinen Mund nicht k�ssen lassen, Jochanaan".

Incredible, heartfelt rendition. Hope her future is filled with the joy and humanity she brings to so many with that performance. "Once this was all Black Plasma and Imagination"-Michael McClure

I have a coworker who's son is a world-champion pianist; literally winning contests world-wide since the age of 7. It's amazing to see him play, and draws feelings of admiration.

But that admiration soon turns to sympathy when you learn that the kids have few friends and play no sports due to their rigorous practice schedule. And when you learn this is all because the parents do not save for retirement, expecting their child to support them the hair on your neck stands up.

Gives child prodigies a whole new perspective...

Once they turn 17-18, they are just excellent musicians, which is admirable, but normal. Remember that kid that was a whiz at the drums 10 years ago at the beginning of the youtube era? He's now a studio musician. Nice, but nothing to ohh and ahh about. Very few of these kids become Yoyo Ma.
