Neither.
I will say, though, that generally, I don't like the "precocious kid" angle when it comes to this stuff. I know, I know, get off my lawn, but there's something that doesn't resonate with me, or ring true. And I'll be the first to say that it makes zero logical sense; I don't think Johnny Cash ACTUALLY killed a man in Reno just to watch him die, but the song still resonates, and at least it's PLAUSIBLE. I don't KNOW that David Lee Roth actually been to the edge, and stood and looked down, but it SOUNDS like it. Some of these kids are technically good, but it doesn't SOUND plausible to me.
We don't watch many competition shows (except on the Food Network) and even then, when kids come on, I usually mumble "I fucking hate kids" to my wife and turn the channel. When I was 11, I could barely make Spaghetti-O's; I didn't even know what "Beef Wellington" was, and some of these kids are making Beer Cheese Flambe's like they own the restaurant. I can't help thinking, though, that there's a parent behind all that, and in an unhealthy way.
