Russ , you are right..Diana is good...but do you think she was better than Nikki at 16....I am pretty sure she was not...

The exposure and experience will allow Nikki to mature into a top notch performer..I have no doubt...

...........talk to me in two years........good luck to her.

#1...#1...#3...#3....#9...On the charts (Billboard).....at the age of 16....Do some more research...Not even Diana did this in her first year...and I can't think of another 16 year old that has done this...

Apparently ..she is doing okay...and won't need any wedding bands...or an invite from any of us at SZ to work with us..

Fran, I have no idea how this youngster compared with Diana at 16. I do hope she works hard and gets the recognition and success she deserves. At best, for anyone today, it's a crap shoot. She does evidently have a strong team behind her, in terms of arrangements, musicians, publicity, etc.

I wish her well!

Aspiring singers are popping up everywhere like this Carlos Apponte Audition on TV..

Since I started this maybe I'll finish it. I caught this girls video on a Delta flight to Atlanta a few weeks ago, I was impressed!! Not to say for one minute she is the next Ella, Karen or Judy Garland!! Just a pretty face with a nice voice singing material I like!! Nothing more ... nothing else!I will state again I love the old sdandards and when young folks like Nikki put the time effort and talent into performing them I will support it!! I love "Young" talent ... at any level. I think that is the point I was trying to make.

Well said, JC. Talented kid who is very deserving of recognition and future success. Thanks for bringing this talented youngster (good taste in music, too)to our attention.

Although she might have a chance.....I dont think Nikki will ever draw crowds like this youngster...could be her musical genre holding her back from the masses.
