I didn't see it.
I have to comment on this though. There are a lot of screw ups when it comes to famous people. 9 times out of 10, they don't come into the business as trainwrecks. The MEDIA has a big part in helping them ruin their lives.
TMZ trashing David brought on this speech. David is a GOOD kid. He seems kind, considerate, humble, down-to-earth, appreciative, etc. And then you see people bashing him. If they didn't like his singing, that's one thing, and they have a right to comment on that. But that's not what they're even talking about. Why would they take this kid who is on a GOOD road headed for AMAZING places and make fun of him and try to offend him? Its so stupid. All it does is ruin lives. Clearly, this one incident isn't going to ruin David's future/career. But I think its REALLY REALLY pathetic and sad that they feel the need to do that whenever someone with a possible future comes along.
I'm new when it comes to performing, but I can say that everytime you work on something, you're supposed to be discovering it all over again. There's plenty of songs that I've heard and sung a bazillion times in the past, and now that I have a teacher to really work on them with, its like completley new material. I don't really know what I'm talking about when it comes to performing, but I have an idea of what goes into it, and the people who run those trash sites have no right to judge on things like that.
*sigh* OK, I'm done. Diane, this wasn't directed at you at all.
Now I'm stepping off my soap box.
I found the Coat of Many Colors book I was talking about earlier. Love it! It was buried in a box somewhere.
PS - I think Ryan is a jerk.
