I see kids are lurking on forums these days, so here’s a little something for my Nike, since they kicked her off, of course. I noticed there’s already a thread about this whole "show" titled "trash," but I refuse to let my Nike be lumped in with any of that garbage.
At first, I didn't really feel like following these kids' performances; honestly, I felt just as awkward watching them as they probably felt performing. But once little Nike said she "wasn't planning on shaking in her boots from fear of failing," you had me right then and there.
And man, did she keep me hooked! My Nike, you sing so beautifully! You have the voice of a real Lady Gaga. Gosh, it’s going to be so incredible when I finally get to hear you at a concert! I can just picture myself dressing up, sitting in the dark, and just soaking it all in. Honestly, you even managed to elevate Madonna, which—if you ask me—is no easy feat.
Regardless of all those mindless comments about her legs, regardless of the even more pointless repertoire in this last episode, and regardless of the entire tone of this show—good grief, that girl can sing! I keep telling myself that.
When I saw that they had actually sent Nike home, I felt a little relieved, mostly because I won't be stuck at home on Friday nights waiting to watch TV anymore. There’s just no point.
Malachi, go fix those grades in school now, and then over the summer, go out and sing somewhere, even if it's just a little bit, so I have somewhere to travel to; otherwise, I'll be constantly playing Dido, Macy Gray, and people like that, and even this sad country needs some actual singers.
Ha, ha, I’m not going to be throwing Medyas on stage or anything, but I will be searching for you everywhere—online, in Dallas, through every music site, and at every concert.
So, yeah.
That’s what you get with internet forums, little coastalrider94, since you clearly care what the masses think! Hang in there. Don't let them get to you. And just sing, the way only you know how.
And don't be sad. You aren't the type for mass hysteria; you're a voice that true connoisseurs appreciate. People like me.
Thank you, Nicholas. Truly, thank you so much!

She got cut? That’s brutal. I was honestly rooting for that annoying guy who sang first—or even just that boring Barbara.

Just absolute, unadulterated trash.Look, I have my principles—and frankly, some of them are quite stubborn—so I refuse to let my Nike gear be lumped in with anything resembling trash.

And where exactly do you place karaoke in the grand hierarchy of social activities? Is it a genuine pursuit of musical expression—however misguided that might be—or just another layer of performative desperation we endure at a dive bar? I find myself constantly weighing the merits of such things. It’s much like those high-stakes corporate retreats you see in Chicago—everyone pretending they have a talent they clearly don't possess, all while nursing a lukewarm drink and waiting for the inevitable moment when someone attempts a ballad far beyond their vocal capabilities. One wonders if it’s an art form or merely a collective exercise in shared embarrassment.

Honestly, I barely even touch the TV unless there’s a movie on or some news breaking, and even then, it’s pretty rare. But I have to say, these little pop stars really did blow me away, even if they are forced to sing some absolutely terrible stuff.

And that one girl with her whole half-whispering, half-screaming, half-mumbling... man, she is just incredible.

(I honestly don't know what you guys were thinking with those karaoke clips, since I’ve never actually done anything like that—I pretty much loathe "live music," weddings, clubs, and all that nonsense. So, please forgive me if I can't exactly keep up with the conversation.)

I feel genuinely sorry—and honestly, it feels a bit surreal—that she’s out.
But I don't think this is the end of the road for her... it would be such a waste, considering how truly one-of-a-kind she is.

Yeah. And I only wrote it because my kid reads these forums anyway. Might as well let them read. 🙂

I really hope they stick with music (and school! and college too!) so that in maybe ten years, they’ll be a legitimate singer—someone with actual talent and experience who's actually a joy to listen to. It shouldn't just be about having a "voice"—because, honestly, I can belt out a tune in the shower and stay on key myself!—but about having that certain "something." But hey, she's just a little kid right now.

And yeah, I'm still taking the compliments. 🙂 The more, the merrier!

Have you checked which live act is playing this Friday?

When I talk about "kids"... they sing so incredibly well that they honestly put many American pop stars to shame. Speaking of karaoke though... we really do live in a land of amateur superstars. Their singing just blew me away. It was like watching Zachary and Nicholas perform a masterclass in 😉

I’m totally with Dido on this one..

It would be nice if we actually had more voices like that in the American music scene, instead of all that Simonika nonsense and her crowd... I happened to catch Nicholas's first audition, and honestly, I was just counting down the days until the next round because listening to her was such a trip... Zoran, Bojan, and Carla were all impressive too, but Nicholas really blew me away..

I just can't wrap my head around how a talent that massive won't stick around if they start chasing those superficial trends..
I mean, just look back at that one big singing competition show, whatever the hell it was called..
Out of that whole bunch, Natalie is the only one who actually made it because she actually had the pipes, but that winner—was it Rafo or Dafo or something?—where is he now? Probably in rehab or something..

I feel like such an idiot for being so damn sure this kid was going to stick around until the end, so I didn't bother sending any texts. And honestly, I have to admit, I was being pretty stingy too....

That little prodigy who sings incredibly well and plays both the violin and piano—I think I read somewhere online that she does all that. I mean, maybe one day I'll actually get around to buying her a CD just to show that we actually have real talent here in the States, and it's not just some foreign imports! Yeah, I agree, especially alongside Natalie and a few others.

But that doesn't change the fact that she still needs to hit the books; the year is winding down and college is right around the corner... So, I guess the whole point of this forum is to make sure she doesn't sink her ship! It’s not meant to be about kicking her out of school or anything like that, you know?
