So please help..... Rosemarie.xx This should work, http://beelieve.typepad.com/my_weblog/images/2008/08/07/the_blindfold.jpg

andyofborg Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I did consider auditioning myself, but I can't afford Train fare to Manchester I looked on thetrainline.com last week, with a view to going this week, it would cost me £50 return! Good luck to the girl anyway are you going first class or something? day return to manchester is around £17 depending on the train or alternatively 2 singles at £6 each might be cheaper
mumkin Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I would say, let the child grow up and have a childhood before trying to wreck it by letting her face the disappointment of not winning the show. Odds are against her and to be perfectly honest, it's not the sort of thing small children should be subjected to by their pushy, selfish, fame seeking parents.
ironforyou Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Yes the lights really would stop her from seeing much. I got through the auditions for Popstars the Rivals years ago and you have to get through the producers audition first. Really daunting and a horrible feeling if you dont make it to the end, but hey, lifes for living! Good luck to her! ( make sure she sings something different to all the usual audition songs).

If you had read my posts you would have seen my daughter went for it her self. I am not a pushy, selfish, fame seeking parent. I'm a parent that is standing by what my daughter wants to do, if she makes it then good on her, if not at least she has tryed to follow her dream. Can most of us say that ???

C'mon, she's 13 years young. Children at that age can't make their mind up whether they want a McD or a Kentucky let alone making life changing decisions. At best It's nothing more than self gratifying exploitation from their parents, or at the very least, poor parenting.
mumkin Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Indeed. Well, no actually, unless you think that supporting your child is poor parenting - maybe time for some parenting classes yourself, eh? Just out of interest, how would you handle it if your kid came and said that they wanted to be on it - from your previous posts I get the impression it would be something like "don't be stupid, you are nowhere near talented enough to be on tv". 1) It's called directing your child responsibly as a parent should. 2) If my hypothetical 13 year old daughter said she wanted to have a career on "stage" then I hypothetically would take her to the local amateur dramatic club to gain some experience rather than just propelling her into the public vista (and all that entails) 3) You assumptions are wrong
