Beyoncé's daughter Blue Ivy was initially only intended to perform once during her mother’s recording-breaking "Renaissance" tour, but she ended up doing the entire tour. In the new highly-anticipated film for "Renaissance", Beyoncé explained, “She told me she was ready to perform, and I told her no.” That did in fact hit a snag when Blue Ivy read social media comments criticizing her lackluster moves. The online hatred only motivated Blue to improve herself.
From The New York Times:
“Though she finally relented, Beyoncé was dismayed when Blue Ivy read social media comments criticizing her lackluster moves. But it thrilled her mother that instead of quitting, she decided to put in the work and train even harder for future stops.”
Personally I think children should be left alone to be children. I would not have put my 11-year-old daughter out there for ridicule in front of thousands of people. Mentally that can be so damaging to a child. These child stars always become messed up. When your mother is megastar Beyoncé, people are going to compare even though she is just a child and Beyoncé has 30 years experience. I'm glad young Blue appears to have a strong head on her shoulders but I think performing on stage can definitely wait until she's actually a little bit older.
I ALSO FEEL LIKE SHE COULD HAVE WAITED FOR BLUE TO BE OLDER.
ReplyDeleteBlu WANTED to perform. I think we should be encouraging our children from as young as they can comprehend to indulge their creativity and not to fear what others might say or think about them.

DeleteAlso her mom started around her age: as long as it’s her decision, they should allow her to test her creativity…
Precisely.
