My Sister and i went to Orlando Florida with optimistic views in mind. Little did we know that the thoughts planted into our minds of greatness and private tutors was all a figment of our vulnerable minds. We went with our grandmother and grandfather at our sides and cheering us on all the way. my sister is eleven and they had pushed her up and she had spent 2 months preparing a song and then after all of that when it came to the calling the names of the winners and she wasn't one of them a solemn tear fell down her face and i looked down the aisle to see another little girl who had obviously heard these lies and dishonesty and i can not stand it.
She tried to act happy but she could not muster up a smile. Neither could I, it didnt matter that I didnt win anything, but to fool a little eleven year old girl and to put her through the pain of rejection the fear of worthlessness and all together failure in her mind all at once was devastating. we left that hotel 20 minutes after that and went to Disneyworld to make her feel better. It makes me cringe at the thought of it... Please read this and understand the pain it can cause you, not only financially but emotionally. the trip all together cost 5,000 dollars.
Understand that this is no joke, Lou Pearlman only wants your money, he could not care less about your talent but only about stuffing his pockets with the money of the foolish and gullible.
