Little Maria Aragon, Winnipeg’s worst kept secret since the general strike of 1919, was on The Ellen Show this morning. Buzz around town is that she hit it out of the park with her performance.
Let’s have a look at the footage together shall we.
In an update to the story I posted Feb 18, Toronto’s 99.9 Virgin Radio has connected Lady Gaga with Maria Aragon. Not only has 99.9 offered to fly Maria into Toronto and give her prime seats to the Lady Gaga concert in March, but also Lady Gaga herself has invited the budding diva onstage with her to perform Born This Way.
It seems that the word around the internet travels fast. With over six million views since the video was posted days ago, young Maria has already accomplished the worldwide fame part of becoming a superstar.
As many of my readers have commented we wish her well, but wonder is all of this literally overnight exposure good for anyone let alone a ten-year old girl on the cusp of becoming a teenager. With all the inherent problems of just being that old is it really in her best interest to go for all the fame and fortune now?
Obviously as anyone knows the story of Pandora’s Box will tell you it’s not easy to put everything back into place once that treasure chest has been opened. I just hope that minds stay clear and they quickly retain someone who is worthy of the trust the family will be placing in them to navigate the minefield that is popular music.
Remember your roots young siren people here will help ground you when your head feels like it’s about to explode. Family and friends be ready, it’s going to be and exciting if bumpy ride.
So what’s your opinion on Maria Aragon, is it healthy for such a young person to be pursuing fame and fortune? Right or wrong, comments, opinions all are welcome. I open the floor to you, discuss.
STORY UPDATE: If all the reports that have been floating around in the media are true Maria Aragon and family are in L.A. and on set at Warner Brothers where The Ellen DeGeneres Show is taped. Reports circulating in the Winnipeg media today have an appearance on Ellen’s show today Feb 22.
Lets hope the stories are true and that Maria has a great performance in store for the world in her television debut. Good Luck!
