Young Internet Singers: Should Certain Songs be Banned for Their Age Range?

With the Internet at our fingertips, singers and musicians are getting discovered on a daily basis ... But is an 11-year-old boy singing Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson songs even appropriate for the Web?

Take a look at these two videos and discuss whether this young pre-teen should be allowed to sing these types of 'adult' songs. Is this a representation of the youth today and the impact sexual lyrics can have on their impressionable minds ... or is it just cute?

"Touch My Body" by Mariah Carey


"Damaged" by Danity Kane and "Feedback" by Janet Jackson

Sooo ... what do you think!?

What do you mean, should the songs be "banned" and should he be "allowed" to sing them?
It's just music, the kid is just singing. I think it's extreme to say a song should be "banned" or that a child should not be allowed to sing certain songs.

It is a little odd to see this tyke singing about sex, though. It kinda skeeves me out. Not to mention, the wailing at the end made my ears fall off.

Sometimes I wonder if these kids even know what their singing about. He is really young to be singing such songs but I bet if you were to sit him down and talk to him about sex, he would most likely think it's gross or something.

I don't think that they should ban children singing "adult" songs. That is just another form of taking away your freedom of sppech. Besides the maturity level in children ranges from each case..
That kid was so fuckin' funny though..

is it even possible to control a ban like that?
it's a little weird and somewhat inappropriate for little kids to sing certain songs but it's definitely not ban-worthy.

Whoa that's interesting. That kid sings kinda good. And those songs are not innapropriate, 'cuz MTV plays them all the time. Even if the songs are banned from TV, adults may play them too. There's nothing bad from the songs I think.
And if you ban these songs, what else can the kid sings to? Folk? Hannah Montana? Gosepel? Christain songs?

He should be able to sing whatever he wants. But the real question is how does some one get pleasure out of watching this? Given the kid has a good voice for his age and everything but how can his parent let him post videos on youtube? I didn't even surf the net when I was 11.

Oh and he is going to be gay
