Well, it sells. It's the idea of seeing children acting like adults that is the novelty. Sad, but true. My biggest pet peeve is child musicians. They parade them around like dogs walking on hind legs, for all to go "aww.." But when they grow up, the novelty wears off and they just become another musician. A recent example would be Charlotte Church. Classic case of it. Which is fine with me, I guess. Because if I had to listen to another performance of "Pia Jesu," I'd have to shoot myself.
