I quite honeslty admit i do not have a musically bone in my body. Singing happy birthday even comes as a challenge to me. I realised at about 10 (the same age as Maria is now) when i failed to get a part in the school chorus. I was always hugely envious of anyone who can sing, years on i learnt to appreciate it more, becoming putty in the hands to anyone who would sing to me.
Maria is so fantastic because she is so sweet.
As the story goes, she has done numerous current pop songs and uploaded her videos on to youtube most of which have had huge popularity, then did a cover of Lady Gaga's Born This Way and has over 17 million hits. Gaga heard about this "little monster" and asked her to come and perform.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEB3nnIsAmQ&feature=player_embedded)I honestly think this is Gaga's best performance, it is so touching with no gimic's, i doubt many other mainstream artists would be able to sing like that with a 10 year old on their lap and jointly play the piano. Lovely.
If you like Maria check out her version of Jessie J's price tag http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i_xPiiOLEI&feature=related hundred times better than the real thing.
It's upsetting that Maria will probably miss out on a childhood now, she is a huge talent, i only hope her parents realise she will still be a huge talent in 4/5 years time.
