She’s only 11 years old. But next weekend, Arisxandra Libantino will sing on a talent show stage in front of millions \u2013 with \u00a3250,000 at stake.<\/p>\n

Producers at Britain\u2019s Got Talent have come under fire for allowing the little girl to go through to the show\u2019s final, amid warnings she is too young to cope with the pressure.<\/p>\n

Arisxandra burst into tears of relief as she won a tense vote during Monday\u2019s semi-final to go through to the last ten.<\/p>\n

Concern: Viewers have questioned whether Arisxandra is old enough to take part in the competition<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But although she impressed the judges with her powerful singing voice, psychologists, campaigners and viewers all expressed concern that she wouldn\u2019t be able to cope with the disappointment if she lost in the final.<\/p>\n

It comes only a few weeks after Strictly Come Dancing host Sir Bruce Forsyth condemned talent shows for putting children through the \u2018ordeal\u2019 of competing.<\/p>\n

Britain\u2019s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell responded to those remarks after Arisxandra\u2019s performance on Monday, saying: \u2018If you\u2019ve got it, you\u2019ve got it. Who cares how old you are. You\u2019re 11 years old. You\u2019re having a great time, right?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u2018Because I\u2019m having a great time as well. It was one of the best performances of the night and I\u2019d like to dedicate this one to Brucie.\u2019<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the first time Arisxandra\u2019s performances have caused controversy. Last month viewers condemned the show as \u2018Britain\u2019s Got Sleaze\u2019 after she performed a song containing adult lyrics about a one-night stand in her audition.<\/p>\n

Arisxandra moved to Britain from the Philippines in 2004 with her parents Aristotle and Elma.<\/p>\n

They have previously spoken of their poverty, and admitted that if she won the \u00a3250,000 top prize they would use the money to pay off their debt.<\/p>\n

Her father, who works as a cleaner, said: \u2018We had to borrow money from friends and now we have lots of debt. If she wins the show we\u2019ll use the money to pay off the loans.\u2019<\/p>\n

After Monday\u2019s programme, viewers again took to the internet, this time saying she should not have been allowed to go through to the final.<\/p>\n

One tweeted: \u2018She\u2019s amazing!! But I think she\u2019s too young. #BGT.\u2019 Another wrote: \u2018I don\u2019t think that little girl should have gotten through, too young to handle all that emotion, as amazing as she was.\u2019<\/p>\n

Leading psychologist Aric Sigman said: \u2018There is a very real problem with allowing children to take part in these shows.<\/p>\n

\u2018They are not well equipped to deal with this kind of adult pressure and being judged by outsiders, nor with the trappings of showbusiness which include the threat of instant failure and the promise of instant success.<\/p>\n

\u2018Even if they receive nothing but acclaim, children can be harmed because their expectations can become distorted. Many people like watching children perform on TV, but it may not be in the child\u2019s best interests.\u2019<\/p>\n

Yesterday a spokesman for the programme said: \u2018We have stringent procedures in place relating to children who appear on the show.<\/p>\n

\u2018Children are accompanied by a member of their family or a guardian at all times and a psychologist is on hand at all auditions.<\/p>\n

\u2018We also employ registered chaperones at our judges\u2019 audition days and live shows to monitor the children\u2019s welfare and ensure they have appropriate rest breaks.\u2019<\/p>\n
