The limelight the music the fame for some it's the ultimate dream to be a rock star
And so it is for little Liam Swift
He's out with his mum looking for a new guitar at Sam Ash music store
He loves music but his mom, she's not his biggest fan no, no
Try it again, better
She'd love for him to be a star but tough love is the only con she knows
I'll do better next time. I promise if you saw mom eject more that sound professional to you acting like this
You can't do this. You're going to be a failure your whole life. What are you gonna cry?
Stars, don't cry. What would you do?
Stop moping around. Okay. Do you want that you want a new guitar? Yeah, she wants him to prove it
You bite your tongue
Stop it, right start it again. It didn't sound right you sure you're practicing this man here
Diana, berate Liam, it sounds lousy. Try it again. I'm the bad one out of the way. Let's do a good
At first he can only shake his head alright, you know, you just stop stop
Okay, don't cry. Okay stars. Don't cry, but when Mom steps away he offers Liam some support
But now Liam's impatient mother is back I don't hear you practicing
Reject I can't hear you and this man cannot help but confront her
He's good (very good)
He's gonna throw the guitar away he needs to hear the truth the truth isn't he's good and
Everybody needs to practice and he needs a mom to support him. That's him
That's all in it as he leaves the store. We catch up with him outside
What does that do to her to a child it would?
Crush his mind. I mean you need to support your kids. You told him. He was good at yeah, of course and he's gay as
It turns out he is only one of Liam's fans why he sounds terrible
He deserves us he's never gonna be good unless he practices harder Vega babies do you think this is Talent?
Disgusted this man exits stage, right and this man takes a more hands-on approach
I wanted to be the next Justin Bieber (WHY, JUST WHY)
Well, this sounds like trash to me
And our mom makes that clear again and again, how bad is he?
How bad is he?
There's no progress, he's not improving he's no good. Okay. So when when he first starts piss off he couldn't play anything
Yes, okay. Now you can see
It's awful as Diana walks out. This man comes in with some encouragement majority of the famous people
Even their parents so I still have a chance to be good at music
Time to meet good man, John quinones, I do a TV show called what would you do?
What would your advice be to parents like that? So we're overbearing parents?
I think one Buffett wants it give your child the opportunity to do anything
But don't give them enough so that they can do nothing
Back in the store Liam just can't do anything right in Diana's eyes
It
Sounds lousy. Do you do not hear that you sound terrible?
Everybody in this room is nauseated
And
No one looks as emotionally affected by Diana's comments as this woman
I'm trying this what I want to do mom. Is this what you want because you're not good at it
It turns out she can relate to Diana you think he's good
I'm telling you. I've been in moments like that where it's hard to figure out the balance of pushing it out pushing but really
He likes to do it. I think I'm wasting my money on the lessons and the guitars. Why does he enjoy I
Can't take it anymore. I'm taking a walk I can't take it anymore
She is visibly shaken and now it's Liam's turn to offer
Appreciation. Thank you. Really? You're great. And you know what your mom loves you
Yeah, it's hard. But if you love it, you have to have enough confidence in yourself
It doesn't matter what your mom says your dad says any agent any record. It doesn't matter. Do you think I'm okay?
I think you're 11. You're you're fantastic and you're cute and you look good, and you could really do it. Okay you
Sound great. Okay. Thank you feel good about yourself. That's the most important
She's sure did time to introduce ourselves hi there
You were wonderful and
I felt really bad for the kid. I love the way you approach them is very very gently
Softly who's the real judge or arbiter of what's tale to us?
you don't know it's not all about talent be confident in yourself believe in yourself and
Find people that will support you and it may not always be mom and dad. You know today it definitely wasn't mom
Instead it was strangers who stepped into the role of mentor buddy and fan
all to support a kid with a dream
