What are Kim and Kanye doing to this poor kid?

Ooh that was painful. It's hard to imagine why her parents would embarrass her like that.

Yeah they said on gmb she .got a sitting ovation! Can you imagine though going to see this and you get North West in a onsie! I'd want my money back

A "sitting ovation" - doesn't that just mean a round of applause? 🤔

It was very polite apparently

NotThatWitty · 27/05/2024 10:22

I saw the 'standing ovation' headline, and just thought, "Huh?"
Then I read the comments in the article, and one pointed out that she did not get a standing ovation - the cast did (I assume at the end, and she was just one of them as part of the applause). Now that makes more sense to me.

She definitely has confidence though, and that - along with her parents money - will probably get her far in life (or at least 'far' in the eyes of her mum and grandmother, and what they seem to be success).

Actually just watched it, and yes it’s a shame, she can’t sing, although she looks chuffed to nuts and delighted to be doing it. And agree her oarents should have known better. I can see why the nepotism comments, as she doesn’t have this skill.

im sure she’s a lovely kid, and has many other talents that can be nurtured, but singing isn’t one of them.

i wonder if that’s Kanye, as she’s on his video, and now this. And quite frankly he’s odd as heck.

A lot of confidence.. very little talent .. Brooklyn is that you ?

Shucks. You got me Grin

The confidence she has will do her well I mean her mum has made millions of dollars with being confident and untalented !

It doesn't take much talent to be a tart with a giant ass, though. To be a singer takes work.

It won't matter to them if she can sing though they will keep pushing her centre stage.

I think they are trying to make her like Beyonces daughter who tours with her mum and seems to have talent, and poor North just has over confidence and zero self awareness which isn't the best qualities to instil into a child.

PonyPatter44 · 27/05/2024 10:36

Oh the poor kid. That is truly painful.

It won't matter to them, but it will to the public. The Kardashians are absolutely despised and even if North was talented, she'd still get eye rolls. As it is, she will be ridiculed. I actually feel as sorry for the children in that family as it is possible to feel sorry for children who will want for nothing materially. The klownshow only cares about fame, fame, fame. It's awful.

CormorantStrikesBack · 27/05/2024 10:39

I just hope she doesn’t get fucked up by her upbringing. In fairness kylie and Kendal seem ok and they were teenagers when the family became famous. One works hard as a model and the other is the richest out of all of them with her makeup business. It all seems a bit superficial but hey they seem happy.

Are you kidding? Kylie started getting plastic surgery when she was what, 16? Now she’s got a totally different face and body (well, they all do) and looks more like a woman in her 40’s than 20 something.

Just watched the performance. Unfortunately her singing and stage presence are poor - she barely moves and other actors have to prompt her for staging

Is this is true nepotism at its finest and was another talented deserving kid denied the opportunity or was it a night of 'celebs' singing the songs and celebrating the musical - my thoughts on this will change based on the above

I think it was a ‘celebrating the musical’ type of event, but all the others who took part were professionals - genuine Broadway stars. It wasn’t like a celeb karaoke type thing. They were all proper musical theatre performers. So it was definitely taking an opportunity from a child with genuine talent - they could have chosen any one of the many talented child performers who worked really hard to get parts in Broadway musicals and actually perform in roles like this night after night.

It’s also really insulting to the other performers on stage, who are hardworking talented cast members having to perform with and sing backing vocals for a spoilt child who can’t sing or dance and who, by the looks of it, hasn’t rehearsed properly.

North is clearly not to blame for all this, because she’s ten and is doing her best. But everyone else involved in this decision is insane.

Kendall is the least weird and obnoxious of them all, I'll give you that (except for Rob, who one tends to forget about) But Kartoon Kylie looks 50 in her mid twenties, and seems really messed up.

Yes and while it’s not something I’d choose for myself or want for my kids (hence my superficial comment) they’re not fucked up in a way they could have been. They don’t appear to be on drugs, having mental breakdowns, etc. I’m sure they’re happy with their lives. 🤷‍♀️. Plastic surgery or no plastic surgery.

I'm not sure they're happy with their lives at all. I think that Kylie probably is on drugs, she seems completely dead behind the eyes. Money aside, I would really hate their life. To be famous for absolutely nothing must be pretty ghastly.

vacay · 27/05/2024 11:01

I agree Kendall is the less fake one but she is also known as the most up her own ass one !

North is only a kid, don't matter if she can't sing so no1 should be going on like 'that was ridiculous etc' but I agree she is only getting these opportunities because of her parents and it isn't fair to a kid who has more talent that could've (should've) got the part

MsLuxLisbon · 27/05/2024 12:24

I went to watch the clip. OMG she was DIRE. Just awful. I actually am sorry for her, although not as sorry as I am for actually talented people who will be denied opportunities because talentless nepobabies have hogged them all.

SpringShower · 27/05/2024 12:28

I find it awful that her parents are pushing her into the limelight at such a young age, when she hasn’t mastered any art or cultivated any talent, and is basically an average kid.

If she wants to be a performer, they could afford the best dance schools, voice coaches etc. why not help her actually get good at this stuff over the next 10 years, rather than throwing her into a full scale professional production when she can’t actually perform well?

KK42S · 27/05/2024 12:29

The whole thing was like the drama school kid with very little talent with the PTA parent who cosies up to the teachers, so HAS to be the main person in the school play - the parents smiling beatifically throughout the performance thinking how lucky everyone is to be there 😂
