What a precocious  kid! Too clever by half. Didn`t like the perfomance at 
all. Impressed, certainly, but much too studied.  In fact I couldn`t even 
watch the clip to the end. A remarkable  technique, every move comes over as 
rehearsed to the nth degree with not an iota of  spontaniety. I would bet 
that watching  another performance would be like watching a recording with 
every move and inflection exactly the same every time she performs.

Of course the show is rehearsed but the secret is that it should not seem to 
be.  Watch Ella. Not a move she makes looks as though she has done it 
before.
If  this girl is still about in 15 years she could be great.

Curmudgeonly,

Pat
