'American Juniors' is a reality television series that broadcast on the Fox Network as a spin-off of American Idol, created by Simon Fuller and 19 Entertainment, FremantleMedia, directed by Bruce Gowers and produced by Nigel Lythgoe and Ken Warwick. It was very similar to the adult American Idol, much like the British series S Club Search (producing the S Club Juniors) was to British band S Club 7. The only season of American Juniors aired in the summer of 2003. It was taped in Hollywood, California.

American Juniors Video

This is the fourth of several videos I'm making with clips, sounds and pictures of some of my favourite young singers. The clips in this one are: 1. Danielle White - Colours of The Wind (age 11). Danielle sang this when she was a finalist on American Juniors. She sang it beautifully with such feeling and calmness it makes me smile. No wonder she made it into the final group. 2. Jackson 5 - Who's Loving You (Michael age 11). Wow. I'm telling you: wow, wow, wow. It's Michael Jackson. Need I say more? This is the most talented child star there's ever been and ever will be. They sang this at the Ed Sullivan Show. 3. Billy Gilman - Oklahoma (age 12). Billy was 12 years old when he sang this song and made this music video. His voice has such pureness and it's so beautiful. I love him singing this song, it makes me both cry and smile because he's got such a nice voice and the song is beautiful. 4. Jamia Simone Nash - A Tisket A Tasket (age 7). She was only 7 years old when she was on the Nickelodeon show "Romeo!" and sang this, but wow, can that little girl sing! She's really impressive, both as a singer and an actress. 5. Declan Galbraith - I'll Be There & Angels (age 10). "I'll Be There" is from rehearsal and "Angels" is from the performance when he was performing at the huge 2002 Young Voices concert. I don't know what else to say except: Aahh! This kid is simply amazing! 6. Danielle White - Good Morning Starshine (age 11). This is also from when she was a finalist on <b>...</b>

3.27 min. | 4.58 user rating		 This is the third of several videos I'm making with clips, sounds and pictures of some of my favourite young singers. The clips in this one are: 1. Declan Galbraith - Walking in The Air (age 8). He was eight. Eight, everyone! How can someone that young have a voice like this? This was the first song by him released on a CD and wow! Such power and control! 2. Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen - You're Invited (age 9). Right, the Olsen twins. They are not the best singers in the world (usually, they're not very good singers at all) but I love the Olsen twins and I think they did okay with this song, which is the intro song to their party videos show (You're Invited to Mary-Kate and Ashley's...). And they were so cute! 3. Morgan Burke - You Can't Do That (age 10). Another children's CD that he was on, this time when he was 10. He was so young, yet sang with such power. I love Morgan, he's so talented! Also, the wallpapers used here are not mine. Credit to whoever made them. 4. Jordan Jansen - Bright Eyes (age 9). Oh, Jordan. He's such a sweet and talented boy. He hasn't been singing for all that long, but you can't tell by listening to him. His voice is so pure and beautiful. He's really talented and he did such a wonderful job with this song! 5. Declan Galbraith - Carrickfergus (age 10). My, oh my. The pureness, the control, the power. What can I say - Declan is such an amazing and talented singer! The emotion and the strength... He makes me smile and cry at the same time! 6. Mary <b>...</b>
4.72 min. | 4.60 user rating		 This is the second of several videos I'm making with clips, sounds and pictures of some of my favourite young singers. The clips in this one are: 1. AJ Melendez - Still (age 12). One of his great performances on American Juniors and I must say his most powerful one. No one knew he had such power in his voice until this performance! It still confuses me that he didn't make it into the final group. 2. Lucy Hale - Make it Easy on Yourself (age 13). She - like AJ - was one of the finalists on American Juniors and she did make it into the group. This performance sure shows why. 3. Morgan Burke - Somewhere Over The Rainbow (age 10). His first huge performance when he was only 10 years old. He performed at Showtime at The Apollo and the crowd loved him. And with that voice and cute looks, who wouldn't? 4. Katelyn Tarver - Ain't No Mountain High Enough (age 13). She did not have the best voice of the ten American Juniors finalists, but this performance was really great and it truly showed that she still does have a really good voice. 5. Danielle Freid - I Must Believe (age 9). Danielle was the lead in a musical and her vocals are really impressive. She was only 9 years old, but both her singing and her acting was fantastic! 6. AJ Melendez - The Night Has A Thousand Eyes (age 12). Another terrific American Juniors performance. I love this one. He looks so comfortable on stage, his voice sounds really great and he looks like he's having so much fun! 7. Lucy Hale - Get Here (age 13 <b>...</b>
5.05 min. | 4.66 user rating		 This is the first of several videos I'm making with clips, sounds and pictures of some of my favourite young singers. The clips in this one are: 1. Morgan Burke - All Shook Up (age 8). He was on an Elvis cd with some other kids and this is the song he sang. It's so cute and really strong for such a young age! 2. Declan Galbraith - Ben (age 7,5). This is a very early and rather rare recording of Declan. He was really young, yet it is so great! 3. Mercedes Ruiz - Can't Fight The Moonlight (age 9). She was only nine years old here, competing on American Juniors. I think she was really good, even though she "only" made it into the top 20. 4. Chauncey Matthews - Moon River (age 11). This was the performance on American Juniors that got him into the group. He was only 11 and his voice was breaking (it broke early for him), but you can't tell by his impressive singing! 5. Jessica Sanchez - I Surrender (age 10). This is from an amazing performance when she was only 10 years old. Her strong voice and the control she has makes her sound much older, though. 6. Morgan Burke - Somewhere Over The Rainbow (age 12). This is from Morgan's audition for American Juniors when he was 12 years old. No wonder he got in, his voice is awesome! 7. Declan Galbraith - Danny Boy (age 8). This is from a performance when he was only eight years old. His singing gives me goose bumps, his voice is so amazing! 8. Chauncey Matthews - A Whole New World (age 11). This is one of his earlier performances on <b>...</b>
