This sounds almost more like life issues to me...I'm not entirely sure. Could just be the phrasing. But I great topic starter that's for sure! =D

Like-wise there's lots of band kids here / people with musical skills. Admittedly the only vocally oriented ones I know are the ones in church. Who are just as good at singing as Kris Allen really...well when he started out anyway. hmm I actually KNOW someone who was trying to find someone to teach. Been awhile since I heard that from him but meh we are likely so far apart >.<

As to that under age 18 question, that mystifies me as well. At first I thought it might've been a minors/current stereotypical kid stars thing. Some of them get bashed so terribly it can be intimidating. Besides all those shows oriented towards those things...it's almost more like a fad. In my honest opinion.
