ABC was criticized by Variety writer Daniel D’Addario for featuring Claudia Conway, daughter of George and Kellyanne Conway, as a contestant for “American Idol,” accusing the network of the “worst exploitation of a minor.” The Sunday night appearance was the latest bit of fame for the teen after she first gained attention for posting TikTok videos last year criticizing her mother for her work serving as a political counselor for former President Donald Trump.In addition, Claudia, 16, also garnered hundreds of thousands of views when she dished on her soured relationship with her parents, leading Kellyanne to leave the White House and father George to take a break from

I mean I don't want to pick on a little kid...but she is in a competition. We're asked to judge her singing. I am sorry. No offense but she does not have the slightest singing chops. AI is a joke for pushing her through.
I will say nothing of her porcine father. OK nothing further.

I know I’ll take flak for this, but Trump should have sidelined Kelly Anne early on. No matter how good she was, and she was, it wasn’t worth it.

Communists only know how to use idiots when they are useful; they throw them away or kill them when they're not.

The fact she advanced was white privilege. It was revolting to watch.

The Conways playing along with that pathetic audition was beyond weird. The girl has no singing chops and was only showcased for ratings. The parents playing their “roles” was just bizarre.

The reality? She looks like her father. Singing ability? Nil. Presentation? C-. Obviously a huge need for attention. Sad...

Don't put your daughter on the stage Mrs Worthington.
That poor idiot child thinks the spotlight is some sort of sanctifying light. Manipulations may get you onstage, when the curtain goes up & the beat goes down, you gotta produce. Does no one remember the second Mrs Citizen Kane/

It's a teenager. So who cares. Teens don't know their butts from a hole in the ground. Giving them attention only feeds their hunger for attention which is why Tic Toc and other services are so popular. Most teens and young adults are too busy looking at their phones to pay attention to much else.

Kellyanne is complicit. Something was never right there. She won't be missed.

Guess who is in charge in that household ? If she talked to me the way she talked to and about her mother, no way I would give her permission to go onstage.

Oh my. Poor thing. Believes she has the talent and looks to make it as a professional singer. Not even close. Her name put her through because it certainly was not her talent. Sad to see that politics has any part of a talent show but here we are.

I actually felt sorry for the teenager. The AI judges should not have put her through because they felt sorry for her. Did they put her through to be made fun of because of her parents? AI is not what it used to be. I won't watch again.

The little girl should go back to singing in the mirror like 16 yo girls do. Her parents should give her singing lessons if she is serious about a career there. Not put her on TV.
No insult intended. Professional singers have voice lessons. Maybe with training she could make it one day! But not today and not w/o training.

Her parents don't have to support her in these attempts to cash in on her "fame"--or actually, her mother's fame. If Claudia wants to get a job to pay for traveling to an audition, so be it. But they should have known this had exploitation written all over it and refused to fund her "dreams" at this point in her life. Maybe pay for voice lessons, instead.
