I wouldn't do it because even if I liked singing enough to go far with it, I think I wouldn't want to go that route.

As for kids, I think I'd be like, "well if you really want to then we need to get you as ready as possible" and enrol them in singing school or something. And if they were terrible I'd hope that they got sick of the homework in a hurry or vastly improved with tuition!!]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2008 19:22:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14331&PID=299668&title=american-idol#299668 <![CDATA[American Idol : I would def steer my child in...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14331&PID=299652&title=american-idol#299652 Author: Leish

"I am your brother! We're best friends for ever..."!!!!!! God that was so hilarious, I think I'm gonna be singing that song to myself for a loooong time to come!!

I would tell them straight, rather than letting them think they could sing when they clearly cannot. It would save them the humiliation later on.

Re: if I'd tell my child they weren't a great singer. Tough question, I'd want them to follow their dream but wouldn't want them to be humiliated.

I have to ask if your kid liked singing but wasn't any good at it, as a parent would you encourage them cause they liked it or discourage and suggest the focus their talents on something else.

Cause some of these kids are awful and seems like no one has ever told them until now.]]> Sat, 09 Feb 2008 20:41:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14331&PID=298145&title=american-idol#298145 <![CDATA[American Idol : Oh yesterday I nearly cried for...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14331&PID=298143&title=american-idol#298143 Author: arohanui

Oh yesterday I nearly cried for the Moses guy too... when he was singing I thought surely it must be a piss take, but the look on his face when they were laughing at him... he just looked heartbroken I just wanted to go and give him a big hug.

And Temptress, they were so sweet to her!! Like they were with that lawn mowing guy today (the thumbs up one). Why is it that they can be so lovely to some people and so awful to others???

Yep I'm watchign it! I do like the singing/dancing reality t.v. shows. Like it better than the Survivor/Dating ones.

There's soooo many nutters on the American Idol!!! It is funny. I'm sure they mainly put the crap ones on for t.v. ratings. They leave showing the good singers for the top 24.
