that's nice, but too bad he has no actual talent to go along with this.

Your comments are so ridiculous (and irrationally harsh) that that they only deserve the comment that they're ridiculous.

Mozart didn't find much compositional success until he reached his mid-20's.

The fact that you do or do not like Mozart at age 10 is irrelevant, he was not in touch with the populace or the times. He did not resonate with then-popular conceptions of "good" music until much later.

As I implied earlier, Jay's now in the process of developing that same emotive breadth necessary for an artist to connect with his audience. No one would rationally expect a 12 year old kid to possess that sense, and no one would expect his intuitive musical skills to be "mature" and in synch with his audience.

I don't really understand your harsh rhetoric. It's kind of wierd.

So why don't we wait to see if he produces great music later. It's no favor to him to play up the prodigy bit. After all, at some point he stops being a prodigy.

Jay's muscial flatulence will never be considered in the same universe as Mozart et al.
