Yes, but they've had children that young on before who haven't cried and stamped their feet when they don't get their own way.
Clearly very over indulgent parents.

TBF she has got more press attention than any other contestant - including previous winners, it was hardly to be expected.
except OK wasn't a mawkish melodramatic sugarfest horror show.
I despise this kind of TV so when i turn over to see some confused kid crying and looking completely confused with Amanda Holden playing her part (is the only kind way I can put it) while the audience are cheering and the music is still playing I surmise that either a) i've switched over to Zone Horror, or b) Britain's Lost The Plot.
Even I'm too cynical to say that was stage managed. But that was one of the most disturbing things i've ever watched. Simon Cowell should be made to drink her tears until he pukes blood.

Friday belongs to Aidan Davis, and it was the first time I have seen Paul Pots (sic) perform. Amazing.
This was a really disturbing show today, for what that kid went through and the fucked up result of a overly-sympathetic [voting] tv audience. Still, that's how it worked out last year. Hope the producers bring on Signature for Saturdays final.

Or a parent with ambition for their daughter which over-rides the child's best interests. I thought Holly should have been "let go" for her own good. I'm not particularly rooting for her re the stamping feet and bewailing when she was told there wasn't time for her to have a second chance, but despite a 10yo being a (possibly)spoilt and manipulative brat, her mother could and IMO should have taken her offstage and out of the competition.
If she was overwhelmed at this level, how in hell will she cope with the final and potentially the Royal Variey show, let alone everything surrounding it. The only justice would be for her to get through and utterly lose it in front of the queen - but even I can't wish that on a kid who's probably being "encouraged" all the way, plus someone else would have to lose out in the final for that to happen.
I'm for the saxophonist being the longer-term "star" so rooting for him, but cynically expect the "now" factor to decide the winner. Diversity could fill both spots IMO, so hopefully the voting will be immune from sympathy factor tomorrow. I doubt it though.
zoooo
zero tolerance for walkers
I don't think the pity vote for the kid will carry over into tomorrow. It never usually does in the finals of shows like this.
Or the pity vote for Susan Boyle, especially with the bad press she's been getting for being a shouty sweary old bint. The general public will go back to their normal default setting of hating weirdos.
One of the most talented acts will probably win.

Ooh I missed this! So she didn't get a second chance then?
Oh the drama!
Any chance to laugh at a 10 yo, IMO.

I'm afraid she did. Simon said we'll make time after the producer said there was none.
Cynical me suspects the director was whispering no time to Ant and Dec whilst at the same time whispering say we'll make time to Simon.
I'm sure that will appear on youtube in due course

What a sorry state the business of show is in if this is what passes for entertainment: a completely unprepared child who has a fairly ok voice (all things relative, all kids have that kind of cherubic vocal, it's not unique) and a mother desperate for her daughter to be someone she isn't. The producers should never ever have allowed her to perform in that environment and she should never ever have been allowed to continue. The audience for buying into the whole thing is sickening and just shows how pathetic they are. We are watching a little girl 'perform' in an environment she can't cope with egged on by the insecure who can't bear the thought of admitting the truth of the situation and that bloody Holden woman is the worst of the lot.
Still didn't see her stamp her feet and scweeam and scweam until she was sick so I have no idea if she's a genuine stage brat. If not then you have to feel sorry for her being compelled into a situation she shouldn't be in. But then that's what these shows are about. Not talent. Hopefully we'll see a backlash and a return to proper entertainment (or at least that which ITV can muster).
Ghastly.

Lena Zavaroni died of anorexia allegedly triggered by the stress of child fame. Nothing new.
Whats her face from E.T was taking hard drugs before she was in double figures. Yeah, it's pathetic. Don't watch it.
I take it all of you who are enraged at the exploitation of a possibly unbalanced and definitely vulnerable child are going to pen a pithy missive to the producers stating your disgust and requesting that the show have an age limit?
And yes, I might be looking for a fight
I don't. ET is a terrible film. Though she did learn to start fires not long after, that was fun
