MEET the latest pop sensation. At 16 years old, with blonde good looks and a wholesome appeal, Kim Petras is set to be a superstar.
But this is no ordinary girl - Kim was actually born TIM.
Last October, just days after turning 16, she had a sex change operation to fulfil her dream of becoming a woman.
She is the youngest person in the world ever to have the dramatic surgery.

Two thoughts, the mom, kill it with fire from outer space.
Her 'music' is just autotunes stuff, let me know when she makes real music.

So is 3/4 of the pop charts these days.

I do believe that's half the point ;)
I don't care about being a pop star but I could sure stand to be a super cute lil 16 year old blonde....
I think I'm jealous
All you need to know about the 'pop' charts these days is that MJ was number 1-9 last week, on records 30 years old. What makes it to number one now, would not have made it into the top 100 in the 70-80s, (based on sales, which is the only thing that counts.) Heck, they even said this week that illegal downloads are way off over last year, just less to download that's worth listening to.
Look, I don't ask much for a singer, but being on pitch, is pretty much it. The obvious use of Autotune, proves she can't even do that IN A STUDIO, much less live.
I wish her the best, but talent, not technology wins out in the end. As Pink Floyd so wisely noted, you could take a bunch of people and give them all of Pink Floyd's equipment, but that doesn't produce DSOM.
Live? All they do is lip synch while running around the stage.
Brittaney, Myley and the kiddie bands like Millie Vanilli do - but no one takes them seriously either.
Heck, let's see the tour, and go from there, but so far having a hit, well, so did Tiny Tim, being considered a 'novelty act' is pretty much a show biz kiss of death.
I may not be real into her music. I'm not often impressed with much of the "new" stuff. But hey, she's done allot for some-one her age. I wish I would have had supportive people around me when I was young. Maybe my life wouldn't have been quite the living hell it was :P
I'm happy she has that kind of support, I wish everyone did. And she is kinda cute in a 16 year old way (but not enough to have Chris Hansen telling you to take a seat.)
Well, geez, she's living my dream isn't she?
She got to be a pop star AND transition... AT SIXTEEN!?!?!?! HOW THE HELL DO YOU DO THAT!?!?!
*sigh*
I'm very happy for you Kim... I'm just jealous... <.<
