I posted this more as a "look at some cool youngsters who try their best playing a Dream Theater tune."
No, you posted it as "Junior High Kids Doing an Impressive Cover of 'As I Am'" and people don't agree.
Personally, I never said the performance was bad, the editing was. And my compliment for a good impression of James can be viewed as a negative but that's your choice.
Don't post stuff on the Internet that you only want people to tell you how great it is. People, especially kids, need to fall down and skin their knees once in a while but some people insist that keeping them in a protective bubble from everything is the better way to go.
Depressing people here? Hardly. Once again we have overly-sensitive people over-reacting to nothing. If you're really going to be offended by small things then that's your choice but don't get mad at others for unintentionally offending you.
I'll say it once more, the props go out for doing a Dream Theater song and having the balls to play it in front of people and they are kids, but don't get mad at us for not saying it's the best thing since sliced bread from top to bottom.
