Oh lets be unpopular.....have you seen the rise of The Warning band?

I am all for thinking your children are amazing.  I went on twitter and trending is this band. The Warning.  Said their website was thewarningband.com.  So I visited it.  Ok.  Yes they are great guitarists and the middle girl is a great drummer.....that being said.  The 14 year old can not sing.  I have been singing since I was very young.  I have sung in plays, talent shows, competitions, with bands etc.  That being said.  If they wanted to be a band they need a new singer.  Period.

Ok now moving forward.  The entire page appears as if it is an American family with some Hispanic background.  If you dig through the page.  These girls live in Mexico.  They are not American but the whole page is set up to make you think they are.  Ok whatever.  Maybe they are near the border and they commute regularly.  Fine.  (Not going to talk about illegal immigration...I will get hate male)

Ok.  So, the page on many many pages is talking about a go fund me to support the girls.  It feels like a children international commercial. Just 10 cents a day can feed these poor girls.  If they live in mexico from the look of their instruments and equipment and home, the family is not hurting. 

I feel like it is just another rape of Americans who want to help young people who are doing something good.  It does not appear this family is in NEED at all.  I'd rather buy a $5 pack of Chiclets from a small child in a tourist town. 


If these kids were needy I'd be the first to try to help...but c'mon now.  I am tired of all the posts look at this kid who is nailing it.  Mediocre is ok.  That is great it is a child who is into music that is awesome.  But, be real with where the talent is and on top of that don't ask for money.  Especially when your drum set alone is worth about $2000.  I can't afford a drum set of that value for my kids.  And I also know how expensive drum head replacements are and drum sticks.

I don't like people who try to extort money for a cute kid.  So Im good.  They are not so amazing that I am reaching for my purse and I hope you don't as well.  Actually no reason to share them or trend them.
