Move Over Miley - Gaby Could Be the New Tween Dream
Filed under: Celeb Kids, Amazing Kids, Tween Culture, New In Pop Culture, Celeb News & Interviews
So, here at ParentDish, we don't pretend to be Simon Cowell or Paula Abdul, thinking we're qualified to judge who should be the next American Idol, but when a rising star catches our eye, we just have to share.
We recently came across this YouTube video of 11-year-old Gaby Borges belting out Miley Cyrus's "Can't Be Tamed" -- complete with backup dancers, braces and some serious pipes.
According to her website, Gaby lives in Florida, loves salsa and hip-hop dancing, plays the guitar, has acted in Telemundo soap operas, performed in music videos and enjoys covering songs including Whitney Houston's "I'm Your Baby Tonight" and "On My Own" from "Les Miserables."
Watch your back, Miley. Gaby is on the go.

ladyjammer said...Personally I think Gaby has alot of talent. However, I do think that she should be a little older before she performs such dance moves. She has a good strong voice but it sounds a bit nasily to me. Give her a few more years. She really appears to have what it takes to be a performer. As for her age..... did anyone see the little girls that were performing on the America's Got Talent this year? They were very young to be performing their acts as well.

Richard Morey said...There are tons of little girls who can do exactly what she did. Her dance moves are too sexy for her age and she looks silly doing them. Her voice is nothing special, unless it's better than what's exhibited in that video. I don't know what Miley Cyrus is like, but I'd only be impressed if this were the kid of a friend and then it would be cute.

Barb said...sounds like her adnoids are getting in the way...or she is singing through her nose...nothing special just yet she needs a couple of yrs to find strictly her vocal...she has the nose singing down really great..now lets find the ole voice box only.

loveyouhotmiley said...She is not even close to Miley's talent yet. I could see her making it though as it was still pretty good. And she was completely covered for the ones saying too sexy, but maybe not the best pick of a song for a young girl.

kelly said...Was the author being sarcastic in this article? This girl can't sing and her dancing is way too mature for her age. Her parents should be ashamed.

Nicole said...I totally agree! And did you watch the credits? Her parents aren't just letting her dress like this, if the name is any indication (Michelle Burgos) her mother did all the choreography! I am totally appalled.

butterfly said...Do you really think this behavior is ok for sixteen years olds? From what I see this stuff belongs in the arena for and by adults. That is the over 18 age group to say the least, not 16 yr olds and especially not 9 yr olds. People say bad parenting, what about the dance schools who teach and cirtique these very young children into being better and better at dancing as this at this age? Many are responsible for children acting like adults before they are adults!

Kristen said...I don't think Miley has anything to worry about when it comes to this little girl. I can't sing either but then again I'm not going around pretending to be the next Miley either.

Carole Hock said...Clasher: And what exactly is this whole new world you speak of? Lack of good parenting? lack of judgement? lack of morals? please inform us of this new age promoting mini hookers, instant fame for doing nothing or being completely stupid (re Jersey Shore). I don't anything "non wimpy" about children from the past. I do see that our "whole new world" is illiterate, uneducated, unrealistic sense of entitlement, over blown egos, getting pregnant too young and proud of it although they have to leech off the government. C'mon Clasher- PLEASE ENLIGHTEN US.

Pam said...She's pretty good for an 11 year old, but... Kids that young shouldn't be beltingout songs like that and definitely shouldn't be dancing and dressing like that. She's pedophile bait. What are her parents thinking? Wait a few years - quite a few years!!!
