It was endearing. And they do seem like genuine. The mom has a very nice voice, and the dad was steady. He wasn't as good as the mom but he certainly wasn't "atrocious". I'm more annoyed that the parents were slammed as being worse than the two little girls which were off-key left and right. I'd rather see them perform all together for the uniqueness and bonding, or see Elliott perform alone. But...that's just me.
It's interesting where Piers landed on this issue. He was obviously charmed by the little girls, who were not consistently on key. Interesting because during the America's Got Talent series last year, he was very critical of acts that used children as decoration. A couple of times, he railed against the "cutesy kid" stuff. He and Sharon Osborne had an on-camera tiff which led to the two of them walking off stage while Hasslehof stayed on.
