I agree with all view points. They are still amazing.

Where and what are the children doing now?

Gadfly,
I realize the significant difference. Mistake was completely unintentional. I just saw the great video and guessed it was Russian. Just like someone might guess a video clip in english is from the US when it might be from Canada. No harm intended. Just a simple mistake.

I agree that it’s good for kids to get out and do things. In fact, if they love it, then more power to them. I guess I’ve just seen far too many kids FORCED by their parents to do all sorts of extreme things. Either way, these kids are amazing.

Just as a point of order, speaking as an admirer of the Ukrainians, calling the Ukraine “Russia” would be like calling Ireland “England”, actually in more ways than one.

In any case, as far as the age, what about Tiger Woods (OK, bad example). . . . .What are kids supposed to do at that age? Sit around and watch TV or play Nintendo. Most “prodigies” are nothing more than kids whose parents teach them a work ethic that we Americans are not at all used to.

That is just UNBELIEVABLE, The coolest thing i have seen on “TV”. But I do agree, it is disturbing. They MUST be practicing for HOURS every day. Knowing the economical situation in former Soviet Union, it does not surprise me, though. the parents might think it’s the kids only way to make a life for themselves…

[...] talent that’s never been seen before. I say that because I’ve written about another amazingly talented act from Ukraine’s Got Talent called Baletaci. Turns out the winner of Ukraine’s Got Talent is just as talented. She has a rather unique [...]

Ukraine is a country in Eastern Europe, bordered by Russia to the east. It was one of the republics of the Soviet Union; it became independent again in 1991.

Doesn’t AGT usually start I the June time frame? I hope that AGT gets a nice new set of judges. Possibly keep Piers.

Yes, it is amazing. You know, we see the adults doing this sort of thing on TV and we think how in the world do they do that or how long have they had to work at this to become this good, or do they just have this inate sense of balance or what? Now we know. They start out as toddlers!!

Amazing video. Thanks for posting it.

Any idea when the next season of AGT starts? I hope David doesn’t kill himself drinking before then (or at all, of course!). He has such a blank look in his eyes lately.
