What I really like about TFCT...

[CobraJet]

On TFCT it is all about the singers, the artists, the families, and the respect among us all. I made a comment on another artists forum that there was almost no discussion about other singers. My comment was in reply to another member who stated that "the world was FULL of people with amazing talent..." I was hoping to open their eyes to a huge talent base that they are ignoring, and occasionally ridicule as not being "in the same league as ..."

Boy, did I get blasted! So many closed minds! Maybe my comment about them being "stuffy" hurt their feelings, but then they just validated my opinion! No, TFCT is totally different (I hope.) Everybody gets treated with respect and support, whether they are a world class vocalist, or a new kid with a dream. Everybody gets a shot. Criticism is always constructive, not destructive.

I love having the opportunity to witness greatness in it's infancy. We've already seen several members here go on to become huge stars -- Shealeigh, Sabrina, Karlijn, Makayla Lynn... the list goes on, and will continue to grow! My Wall of Fame is a shrine to their development and success. I hope to look back on it in several years and see all of their faces still gracing the stages and theater screens all around the world. And, if I have even a small part in helping make that happen, then I feel that I have contributed to making the world a better place. I am proud to be a TFCT member, and proud of ALL the performer and performances introduced here.

Maybe you got blasted because it was a site for just ONE artist, and they felt it would be a betrayal to say encouraging and supportive things about other artists.

I like the way this site is focusing on encouragement and support, and it is VERY nice to see artists here get wide-spread recognition.

"Follow your dream"

Hi Gregg,

I read your commentary and it got me thinking. I've been kicking around TFCT for a little over two years now. During that time I've had the pleasure of developing friendships with quite a few of the parents and kids that are currently or have been members here in the past. Some are on the list you mentioned and others were happy with their greatest accomplishment being a top 3 finish in their school talent show. Surprisingly, to me at least, is the high percentage of these kids with low self-esteem or poor self confidence. I have seen first hand a number of these kids grow in their belief in themselves or what they can accomplish primarily because of positive comments and reenforcement from this forum and others as well, YouTube and Facebook. Fact is few will become famous, but we at TFCT and in those other forums and sites can make a difference not only in sparking the careers of the few fortunate ones but also in the lives of countless others.

Hi
I'm really new here... but every time I visit I explore the site more... visit more discussions... find new conversations - like this one
& I just wanted to say that its true, I am already making friends
I've started chatting with other girls like me, here, on youtube & facebook as a result of us meeting here.
Its encouraging to see so many people bravely putting themselves out there. It really is a great place to visit!!!

Being supportive of other is it's own reward. If you have an passion for music or performing, the real measure of sucess isn't the fame you get, or if it benefits your bank account, but how much participating in the arts enriches your life.

I couldn't have said it better!
