    I'm so glad I didn't watch this.

    The poor children. :( The parents should let them be children and not mini adults.

    I have no problem with young girls dressing up, playing with make up, etc. But this goes too far imo.

    Saw the adverts on the papers and I refuse to watch it too, sad to know that people like that exist, grown-up wastes of space are bad enough let alone them training innocent children to be the same and having no choice in the matter.

    Something like 'teeny pops'?

    Or p-dough TV. One or the other.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    No, it was the same group every week of very young girls looking like tarts and wriggling and writhing around to pop songs.

    Unfortunately, these shows are very popular because people love a good outrage, and the opportunity to talk about "those people, look at them, how disgusting/stupid/lowlife" (and how much better "we" are!). There is a camaraderie in outrage, just look at this thread. :p
