Re: 5 years old!
Very true Barry.
Back in my day (oh no I've said it again) children were children and adults were adults.
That isn't to say they didn't do things like sing or anything like that, but they didn't make a career out of it.
Back in my pre-smoking days I actually had a good voice and did sing at family get togethers when I was a child but not for one second would my parents have permitted me to do it on television, if the opportunity had arose that is.
When I was in my 20s and 30s I did actually sing at a few pubs and such but by then I didn't want to do anything with it. I didn't even get paid, I just had a few beers on the house afterwords and I was happy.
I still sing in the house with my guitar at family gatherings but I have now lost a lot of my range so there you go.
When you want to do something - you're too young, when you are old enough to do it - you don't have the time, when you have the time - you can't do it anymore.
Such is life.
So in light of that, maybe it is good that she is being given the opportunity to do it whilst she can, but I don't know...
Sorry to drone on about myself - I do that every now and again
