The most compelling thing about this child singing Nina Simone in an X-Factor audition is Britney Spears\u2019 reaction to it.<\/p>\n

I have a soft spot for adult Britney because she so clearly does not want to be doing what she\u2019s doing and she has pathos in her eyes always and her human bonsai tree narrative is really tragic in a way that Marilyn Monroe\u2019s never could be because she\u2019s gonna live. She\u2019s gonna age and she\u2019s gonna putter through these weird gigs and she\u2019s gonna collect these sad checks and finance her family for a couple of decades before she peters out long enough to do some comeback work in her middle age \u2014 and that\u2019s a strange place to be. Mapped. Diagrammed.<\/p>\n

The tenderness in her voice when she sees a little girl walk on the stage is really touching. How quickly she cries is really touching. There\u2019s an adult woman with bipolar disorder inside of that dress and her father has control over her finances and she is looking at a talented child on a stage and seeing herself, kind of. What if she\u2019d just stayed in Louisiana and been a young mom there? What if this girl just stayed in New Jersey and kept doing her homework? Became a doctor. Britney\u2019s vote is going to help shape that and there\u2019s transference and there\u2019s joy at hearing a talented person do their talent, but yeesh. Her emotive eyeballs.<\/p>\n

If that\u2019s not compelling, I don\u2019t know what is.<\/p>\n

Also her name is spelled phonetically and I think that\u2019s endearing. Britney. Not Brittany. Britney.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
