The only logical reason I can come up with that rules
regarding age limits exist (and I'm not just talking
about competitions, but young artist programs,
scholarships, grants, etc.) is because they were set
up to assist and encourage less experienced singers.
However, age is not a great way to determine level of
experience. I was not whining, merely stating my
opinion. I don't think the world should bend its rules
- I think the rules should be changed!
And for the record, I *am* pursuing a career without
regard to idiots who think that if a voice isn't ready
by the time it's 25 it never will be, and I have spent
many years "earning my way in the world" :o).
Jennifer, who is still stunned that 31 is considered
too old, and who, when she is rich and famous :o)
plans on supporting only non-ageist, non-sexist programs
