American Idol - Toddler Edition
Both Allie and Avery are talented kids (who doesn't think their kid's talented, even if they are step-kids? Nothing says I can't still live vicariously through them too). Avery is the actor while Allie has the musical inclinations. On the trip Allie sung her brains out and actually didn't instigate a migraine. She can hear a song a couple times and have the lyrics mastered, which is sometimes impressive, sometimes annoying and sometimes embarrassing, especially if R Kelly is playing somewhere. For Christmas Allie swore she would die without an iPod or cell phone to which we told her to prepare a will and pick out a nice dress. She did get a little MP3 player, but singing career or no singing career we're not ready to start providing the tools of the trade associated with being a teen or even pre-teen just yet.
Anyway, Ashley was going through some old files and came across this little gem of the girls at ages 2 and 3 with Allie doing her rendition of Kelly Clarkson's Since You've Been Gone. About the 1:33 mark it starts to pick up. Avery jumps in with some backup vocals too. Note Allie's use of the bed as her stage to put some Kelly Clarkson enegry into the performance. Like I said, pure talent.

Uh, so adorable!
Am just wondering where daddy was when all this was going on? Raving it up in the background? Now there's a video clip we'd all like to see.
Awesome video!
This was 2 years pre-Clark Kent. At the time this footage was taken, he was probably chilling at his bachelor pad, painting naked ladies, clueless of the mayhem soon to be visited upon him. ;)
ha! the bed as a stage~my daughter used to do that too..that is one of my favorite memories!
So cute!! I love the bouncy dancing. :)
Little kids are hilarious... my wife and I came across a little girl in Target who was singing "A Part of your world" from The Little Mermaid.. she really wanted to be on the beach that day, I could tell... hahaha
I loved it when she started rocking out, with all the hair tossing. That, and of course when she walked right up to the camera for her close-up. What little cuties!
I guess you could say I was out of the picture at the time...
Mayhem? I think this is what sold it to him. Hot cute Lois Lane? Hot cute Lois Lane with two cute-as-a-button girls in tow? Sold!
yes. "gobbs and gobbs" of naked women...all of them clueless as I thrashed away at the canvas.
these are the videos to drag out and show their boyfriends down the road.
the bouncy dancing has not changed except for being done at the dinner table.
cuties? yes. and they know how to work that cuteness to their advantage. stinkers.
That was a great video. Back up singer and all. You've got a road show all set.
soon you will have all the hilariousness you can handle - and you'll enjoy every minute of it.
The are begging for those kid pops CD's advertised on TV where kids sing the latest pop chart favs... cute as it may be the answer is still no.
if I can get the them ready in time to board the tour bus to school...
I don't blame you. My daughter is only 2 and she demands that we constantly play 'So What' by Pink or 'Love Lockdown' by Kanye West. It's cute the first time, then it's just plain annoying.
The worst part is she knows what an iPod is!
I hurt for you my man...just be strong!
And sometimes he won't...
They are so cute. And talented.
Love the stagehand comment: "don't sit on that please"-- I can see it now... on stage at the Vic and the stagehands screaming not to jump off the stage. Too cute.
Ah yes - you are in the begining stages of the whole thing yourself... it ends when they leave the house. Dig in and hunker down.
and con artists. can't begin to tell you of the stuff they pulled with my parents over the holidays... it was just criminal the way they used that cuteness
They are just hell-bent on doing it reguardless of us stagehands. Lol
You know, I really should tell the story of how "Lois" recited the statistics for the number of on line predators using e-dating sites (which is how we met) on our first date. I knew then she was a keeper.
The scream was great. Why can they never leave the blinds alone?
love, love, love it! My daughter is starting to do this and it cracks me up!
They are so cute!
They are both positively adorable. And a singing career is definitely not out of the question - maybe she'll be taking care of you in your old age! Ha!
Adorable!
"we're not ready to start providing the tools of the trade associated with being a teen or even pre-teen just yet." - Iam SO with you on that one.
You know, her intonation is very good, seriously.
Loved the comments from Mom - 'Rock out honey!' 'Take a bow!' Awesome.
Loved the bow!!!
Ya, you're right. Always the blinds. I ripped a set down as a kid 'cause I was pretending they were a helicopter rescuing me... ?
I love watching kids perform... except at 6:30AM
That would be fine by me but I don't want to end up like Britney's dad explaining the Cheese Grits on national TV
yes. it's such a battle shielding them from that junk. I mean their friends already have this stuff! What gives?
Allie sings well enough we were thinking music lessons, but then "Lois" started acting like Britney's mom and I had to put my foot down. Lol
Yes, such stage presence... frightening.
That was ADORABLE! My Youngest Daughter Was like that, at that age! Now she Is in Choir and is participating in a Singing compitetion thru her school!
