Humble? Have you even watched the show? Do you see how annoyed he looks when he is told he is bad? It is fairly obvious no one has ever told this kid how much he sucks, which is alot. Alot alot alot.
This kid is the result of current parenting, which advocates lying to these poor kids to the point where they have no idea what truth is. Somewhere, a parent is reveling in this kids mediocrity, his complete lack of presence and Steve Perry hair, like it's the next best thing, but it's no more than a novelty act, William Hung with better hair.
Yes by all means, we should tell our kids at a very young age that they are not good enough, and just let them know early on so they don't get their hopes up.
I agree with you, this whole new idea of parenting to give your kids a sense of worth and self-esteem is indeed a horrible idea.
On a side note, do you have children?
I'm sure there's a sw somewhere in there, im sure you could spot it if you look closely enough
