Latest YouTube superstar is awkward dancing pre-teen (Video)
Filed under: Gadgets
Tina's room looks pretty straightforward for a kid her age. And when she speaks, she sounds like your typical junior high kid -- awkward, a little self-conscience, and hindered by a mouth full of braces.
But Tina is a superstar -- at least online. All she does is post videos of herself dancing and singing along to pop songs in her bedroom, and yet she has fans (thousands of whom view everything she posts), more than 200 comments on her most recent effort, and an official endorsement from celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton.
In the above video, she dances to the Backstreet Boys in a performance that, for all it's shortcomings, is incredibly endearing.

Harry Potter Movie Mix: The Most Awkward Moments
My 12 days of Harry Potter countdown continues with another fun video that stretches across all six movies. The Harry Potter movie franchise has been full of love and wise words, but there has also been plenty of awkwardness. Chalk it up to the fact that we've watched Harry, Ron, and Hermione age from cute kids to teens, so we've lived with them through their gawky phases. Since those scenes are often as entertaining as they are painful to watch, I've mashed them all up together for your viewing

kate said...Oh my god, bless her little heart. That takes a lot of courage! When I was her age, I don't think I could even look anyone in the eye, let alone dance and sing on youtube!!

Heather said...She is clearly developmentally delayed, you didn't need to post this.She cute and all but isn't it a tad bit immature to be covering this video on Parentdish.

RobMonroe said...Heather - I disagree with you. Just because she might have a developmental delay does not mean that she should be ignored on a parenting site like this. If she is comfortable enough with herself to put up video's on YouTube, and lots of them, I think we should be able to celebrate her efforts.
The more often that we ignore or turn away from things like this, the more it seems that it's something that is wrong. This is not wrong.
This is a girl - a regular girl - doing regular girl things.

Greta said...Will one of the bloggers at ParentDish please cover the One Laptop Per Child program - specifically the "give one get one" offer they have right now? It's a much more important story than most on the blog right now...

HM said...According to Perez Hilton, she's 16, not a preteen. And the "official celebrity endorsement" is just a loser making fun of a developmentally-delayed girl.
