their love of music is easy to see in their little robotic eyes

I read the comments and mostly they seem to agree with the 'little robotic' eyes Skivee cites. I do not agree. Obviously, yes, they have been trained/taught the delivery desired; on the other hand I have seen many a group in the US with less affect. It seems to me that many performers concentrate so fiercely on the performance that they have little to no time to devote to the niceties such as engagement with the audience or each other.

For that matter, many an audience appears robotic.

The kids are very good.

They don't have robotic eyes!

Stil, it's not something I would want my little child doing. Little children have their own tasks to master - such as learning to talk, relate to humans of varying roles, not run into the street....

These kids look as if they're enjoying what they're doing. I wish I could say that about some of the soulless clones turned out by Trad courses in Britain.
