Seriously,
It doesn't matter if these pesky kids are currently less talented than their adult counterparts, there's an overriding feeling amongst the public and the judges that:
1. They're still so young, so they have so much more potential and can be better than the adults when they're older (and potentially more valuable over their careers)
2. Awwww, they're soooooooooo cute
It's skewing the results of this show to the point where it's getting a bit silly. There should definitely be a separate talent show for kids.
