I didn't say ONLY legit stuff, Randy.... I said if she is balking at doing
legit stuff because it's not modern enough, I think she's limiting herself.
Besides, didn't the original poster say she was only 13???? What does she
know yet about what she likes? She needs to be exposed to a lot of different
stuff, and the book I recommended has the "pop" kind of Bway stuff as well in
terms of music from LES MIZ, SECRET GARDEN and the like.
To use my food analogy, limiting her to only legit music would be like making
her eat vegetables all the time. I think she should start with legit and
have a little taste of the other... she's too young to make these decisions
herself.
