I taught elementary music for 12 years, and these kids have wonderful voices. They do not have annoying high-pitched voices, and many pop stars today should kill to have the kind of voice control that a lot of these kids have on this show.
I haven't seen any kids bawling yet at the end of the selection shows, and there's only been one selection show so far anyway.
There appears to be some concern about forcing kids to conform?? Are you shitting me?? Please walk by your nearest elementary or middle school soon. You couldn't get a kid to STOP conforming even by threatening their lives. It is a very real and very necessary behavior for them to get through. I don't know of a single culture on the earth that doesn't emphasize conformity for young adults as a necessary component of societal survival.
But I guess it's en vogue these days to criticize shows like this. (speaking of conformity)
