North West at the Hollywood bowl

To be fair she quite possibly isn't untalented. She might have had zero vocal training. Which is absolutely FINE - not all children need vocal training in singing if they don't want it of course. But it seems odd to have apparently not given her any singing lessons (how to project in tune without shouting etc) but pushed for her to be on stage. I'm a big believer in everyone can sing if they are given the right tools (though of course not everyone can be a super star)- and she is a happy confident enthusiastic child singing her heart out, who has apparently been set up to fail for no reason.

She’s only 10??! That poor child. Who on earth allowed this? A school hall yes, the Hollywood Bowl no. Silly projecting egocentric parents, stupid venal production company.

Oh your poor poor friend it must have been painfully awkward ! I can't believe Kim and Kanye agreed to this poor kid.

Turns out I had a friend at the Bowl and the audience tangibly did not enjoy North’s performance at all! Any reports of a standing ovation are categorically false.

I’m shocked she’s 10. I actually thought she was like 13/14tbh. With the whole tiktok fake nose ring stuff.

Instead she’s just a package of her old man. Without his vocals which he used to be good at.

Thank you! Also, I totally disagree that she is 'very attractive'. She is really plain. I don't even think that Kate is all that good looking, and her daughter is even less so.

Makes no difference.

Not a model. Not tall enough and not good looking enough.
Just no.

I saw a thing online that the production company that produced the concert also produce the Kardashian programme which is owned by Disney that's why North was" Simba" 🙄

Yes, but she’s an exception to the rule, because her face is so striking. Same as Devon Aoki. Their looks meant the industry bent the rules for them. There is nothing striking about Lila Moss.

@AngeloMysterioso but Kate herself is 5"6

And also only 5’6”, when usually you have to be at least 5’9” to be a fashion model.

Not model material in the slightest. Just because Kate kept her out of the public eye as a child (ie did the bare minimum of decent parenting) doesn't mean that she isn't an unqualified nepobaby. There is no way she would have been spotted as a model if she were just a nobody, she is far too plain.

I honestly feel so sorry for her. She is just a kid and has probably been told she sounds great. Her parents have embarrassed her to the world in such a cruel way.

Also kept entirely out of the spotlight until she was 16, stayed in school until 18 and by all accounts was a really nice kid hanging out with her school friends and living a normal albeit affluent London childhood. I happen to think she’s very attractive but that’s not the point. Kate kept her childhood private.

I feel sorry for her. People have been nasty all over the internet and she’ll see it when she gets older. She’s just a child, her parents should have tried harder to keep her out of the public eye.

Spot on!

@Nigellasstickytoffeepudding I mean obviously I wouldn't with mine but she's got that desire to be in the spotlight. She'll probably sell clothes well.

It's really petty that Kanye is bringing his children into this rift with Jay Z. The week that it's announced that Blue will be voicing one of the lions in Lion King 2, North has to be presented squawking in a community centre am dram lion costume. North looks great, can't they try modelling instead if they really want her to be famous?

Haha - brilliant!
<grin>

Saw on Twitter someone say “she has her dads confidence and her mums talent”

Why are there so many nepo-models? I always think it must be a horrible job and existence.

ETA examples: just off the top of my head, Georgia-May Jagger, the Beckham sons Brooklyn and Romeo, Iris Law, Lila Moss, Honey Ross, Lily-Rose Depp, Esther McGregor, Paris Brosnan etc

Lila Moss is another one.
Not a true model.
Never will be.
Only there because her mother is Kate Moss.

It's the same story with Brooklyn Beckham. No talent at football. No talent at photography. Maybe a glimmer of talent or at least interest in cooking, but lacks the backbone to follow through. Not very good looking, but somehow managed to bag a modelling contract. It's an utter joke. He seems like a reasonably pleasant person but it still annoys me that he has been handed all these opportunities on a plate and failed to make good on anything. It is tough enough for kids even from normal middle class backgrounds, let alone lower than middle class, without these talentless nepos hogging all the good gigs. I have no issue at all with talented nepo babies, mind. I actually think that lumping all nepobabies in together does more harm than good, because the legitimately talented ones have a fair point that they have as much right to be there as anyone else, but the Lila Mosses and Brooklyn Beckhams and North Wests do not.

We all want our children to have the best opportunities for success. There is a fine line between helping them and setting them up for failure.

Arranging a performance at the Hollywood bowl without first putting in the years of training that even child performers normally complete by the time they reach that point, is setting them up for failure. That video will exist on the internet forever.
