Make my kid a Star

Quote From: blraven

It will be interesting to see who wins, however.....none of these children are that talented. At best, they are a bit above average.The mothers are pushy, and rude to their own children. The kids might learn something about respect if they were shown some, but their own mothers don't respect them. I believe the mothers are pushing them in this direction simply because they could not achieve it for themselves. It might be more interesing to hear what the fathers, and other family members think of tis whole affair.
I cannot beleive how these mothers treat there children. I agree with the comment the Mothers didn't make anything of theirselves so they are pushing their Children to do it. Some were talented, some aren't . The only Mother & daughter that seem like they actually love each other are Gracie & her Mom. The one Mother can't say anything without a nasty word. Plus she dresses Sleazy... I think that is what she is trying to teach her daughter, you can't get anywhere unless you use your body.. That is sad she is 13

All I kept thinking though parts 1-3 was "where is the talent in these kids??" They all seemed like regular kids and some are sweet but unusual talent?? It just isn't happening!Someday when they're a little older and look back at the tapes of their performances, they're going to cringe. And the moms are just plane obnoxious (Veronica.....get a clue AND a life and get off this poor child's back!) They (all the moms) should be ashamed of themselves. I feel horrible for these kids who are being pushed way beyond their limits!

I don't think it's fair to say that none of the kids have much talent.  I'd say that a couple of them (Gracie and Kyrian) have talent.  The rest might be slightly above average.  That Veronica is a real mess and it seems like she is living her dream through her daughter.  Like one of the judges said, it really doesn't seem like Maria has a passion for it.  It's basically like she's doing it to get her mother's approval or maybe just to become famous which should never be a reason to go in to acting, singing, etc.  You should be doing it because it's YOUR passion - not someone else's. 

 

I'm glad Gracie won - I think her mother was the least pushy of all of them and she at least seemed supportive of her daughter.  Gracie really seems like she wants to do this.  I wish her luck in the future.

 

In general, I don't know why any of these mothers would want to put their children in this business.  It's brutal and most of the time child stars don't have careers as adults.  Anyway, I hope for the best for all the kids.
