In the comment selection, online discussions erupted over the concept of nepotism.
Many questioned North's suitability for the role, accusing her parents of buying her opportunities. While mothers defended North, emphasizing her enjoyment of the experience and dismissing the negativity as unwarranted.
One person said: She was placed in a situation she never should have been in. Her performance would have been perfectly fine for a middle school production, but this is the pros. Although in many middle schools she wouldn't have made the cut. Rejection is a healthy part of life.
A second wrote: If it was any other child with limited talent from a normal family without showbiz connections she wouldn't be given this role or in the spotlight.
While a third commented: I’m sure North gave it her all, but I think of the countless kids who have real talent that are a lot more deserving of that role and that opportunity.
Another added: Think of all the kids that go on America’s Got Talent and audition that brought the house to their feet. THOSE kids deserve this kind of opportunity, not North who is a nepo baby with no talent in this field. Tbh, her casting in that role really enrages me. It’s not fair.
Someone else said: It is not her fault. She is 10. However her parents and everyone who were bought off to make this happen should be ashamed.
Another users said: That was truly awful. I didn't image it would be so bad and they would still allow her to participate. You can literally see more talent at the children's entertainment at campsites in Europe than this. No where near the level of a professional musical production. Sorry.
