Pretty amazing for anyone, let alone a seven year old girl.

Sorry, not impressed. A seven year old child does not have the gravitas to perform jazz, let alone Ms Holiday. All I can think of when I see these kids is “how much time did your parents and coaches make you put in to perfect the moves that make you look like you have some comprehension of what you’re singing about?” Usually followed closely by “your voice is going to be ruined within a year if you keep that up…” in the case of the preteen “opera” singers.

Also doesn’t have the voice, in this case. Mildly interesting but underwhelming.
