That was so uncomfortable to look at. As for that pushy mum - fancy putting the wee mite through it all again. Child abuse or what?

I agree. This show has proved this year that kids under 12 cannot mentally cope with Live TV.

Children can perform, but it should be recorded.

I have to agree and knowing simon he will make sure that age is at least 13 next time.

that was horrendous viewing

That's a good idea but the thing is if they can't deal with the pressure of peforming live, how could they perform at the RVP without cracking?

It was kind of cruelty to children...

So hard to tell if it was all an act - I really didnt see many tear, if any. Still, she's only 10 and its not all her doing. Her and her mum reminded me of when my girl was young and was in dancing comps.

Well, if they're good, at least relieve the pressure a bit, and they can have more than one take...

Thing is other 10 year olds have been fine, she just couldnt cope.
