I think this means you are interested in your child succeeding life. Why can't a parent be invested in their children? I certainly am invested in my children. I don't think a person is considered a stage mom when the kids are over 18. The parents don't have any legal rights after the child turns 18. I have to say I was laughing at all the critics when Jason signed with Atlantic. It doesn't mean he will make it big, but it does mean that he is headed in the right direction and if Betsy helped him get there, all the power to her! Michael now knows some people in the music industry that have helped him out. I'm not really a fan of his music style, but if he wants to give it a try I wish him luck.

Did not see that hostile statement coming about a 13 year old. Wow. My opinion is that she is a kid and is having fun and since she is talented, if she wants to go for it, she should. Since she is only 13 and not an Idol contestant, I will not continue with this. I'm out. Wow. Did not see that hostile statement coming about a 13 year old. Wow.

She's been famewhoring on the internet for quite awhile. she's way too young to be so fixated on being famous and her family is just feeding into it. jackie Castro reminds me of Ali Lohan, desperate to be famous. I wonder how long before she moves to Cali and is just receiving "tutoring" wink wink.

I Love Michael's voice and personality. I hope that he will be on AI Season 9. If he doesn't make it, I'm sure that he will still be just fine. I like the original songs that I've heard that he's written and co/written. Both Jason and Michael were 20 years old before they decided to take a shot at becoming solo music artists. The family was surprised by both of them doing so because neither sung in public much before trying out for Idol. Does not seem like stage parenting to me. To me it seems that once the kids decided that they wanted to try the music business, everyone was supportive. Their grandfather, father, 5 uncles and lots of cousins also sing and play musical instruments yet they only started to sing in public when they were ready to do so. Jackie loves to sing and make videos. She has older female cousins who act/sing in plays. She became interested and wanted to take acting classes during some of her free time during summer break. Not put in acting class, but requested to spend some time on summer break trying something new. Seems like a constructive use of time to me. Too bad that lies are posted on the internet, believed, added to, and spread with such intensity. I think that family support is great when kids are trying to spread their wings. JMO.

As far as I can tell, I don't see anything that warrants putting the dreaded "stage mom" tag on Betsy Castro. Do we actually know that she PUT Jackie in acting classes? Or did Jackie, after being around the celeb scene for a bit during Jason's run on the show and being an impressionable 'tween, decide à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬' get this à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬'  ON HER OWN that she wanted to do that? It's not like a six year-old who already has four years of piano experience and has appeared on 13 different talent search shows and can't have dinner until the six practice hours are over. And Jackie seemed to be all over some YouTube filming her and a friend doing some silly shit awhile back. Maybe she likes the camera? Not everything that happens is based on a crazy parent. And hell, a lot of parents think their kids are going to be stars, and encourage them or give them whatever opportunities they can to succeed. That's not being an overbearing stage parent, that's being a parent. Not every parent is going to say "hell no! You get your ass back in that schoolhouse and go learn about chlorophyll and General Patton!" I can't believe I'm even addressing this.

I wonder how many contestants, in the name of "originality", have shown up with hair dyed black/blue, black nail polish, eyeliner and studded clothing? That would make a fun reel to show on an AI audition episode. :) Rockvixen, I was just thinking the same thing!

I just have a different opinion than you. Has Betsy always shown the best judgement? No. But then again people were insisting she was managing Jason and running his career and that has been proven untrue. Plus the boys have seemingly turned out just fine, so I give them the benefit of the doubt. I don’t buy it Niall, but I’m leaving it alone because Jackie has nothing to do with Idol.
