Regardless of the fact that I don’t find it entertaining, I just don’t think it’s a good idea for kids’ mental health to be on reality shows. The pressure is too much and I imagine it wouldn’t be much fun in the schoolyard after. I always thought Idol, X Factor, The Voice, etc should be over 18.
One of the problems is that talent alone won’t connect with viewers. You need some depth and believability when singing to an audience. Unless the kids are going to be single hi5 and wiggles numbers…
Personally I can’t wait for the emotional back stories.
“I was bullied at the age of 3. By the age of 4 I was facing bulimia and anorexia at the same time.”
Nikki Webster as a coach I say!!
Just run it all year so we can get sick of it sooner and it can be axed faster.
more garbage…. 🙁
You might as well write down Tina Arena’s name already.
