I’m a long term lurker on this thread and the Inghams but have never posted before but this latest Miss Immy video has literally forced me to post because, my god, the cringe!! The narcissism of the whole thing is unbelievable and my toes are curling with second hand embarrassment!!
I saw the dancing fruit and veg mentioned further up the thread and funnily enough I only commented the other day to my partner that we’d missed our calling in life and should create sensory videos on YouTube because some of the videos have 30-80 million plus views
. Our baby daughter is obsessed with them too so I can fully see why this might have been her next bright idea to boost her views! I put them on for my baby when I’m expressing milk and when I’m washing and sterilising stuff so we click those videos a good few times each day!
I actually think though it’s less about boosting her income and more to do with being an attention seeking narcissist because her huns have been telling her she should be a children’s tv presenter or nursery assistant (I worked in childcare for 15 years before having my daughter this year- she definitely shouldn’t, she wouldn’t last a day). She honestly has some major issues!
It’s just all too much! The plastered on make up. The slicked down hair that makes it look like it hasn’t been washed in a week. The giant lips and cavernous mouth that would surely give any child nightmares. The over the top faces she’s pulling. The constant use of the phrase cleee-veeer. The slow sounding out of words especially words that can’t be sounded out like one- w-on is not teaching kids anything Imo. The forced, try hard, over indulgent singing voice for simple nursery rhymes.
To be honest her image alone would put me off ever showing it to any child in my care, I just don’t think there’s any need for that much make up for that kind of video. Weird saying I love you to random kids on the internet too! Imagine CBeebies presenters saying that, it just wouldn’t happen.
She’s trying to be engaging but it just isn’t working because she’s SO unnatural and just trying way way too hard! Honestly it’s a little condescending the way she’s speaking. Children don’t need to be spoken to like they’re stupid. I’ve been to a whole bunch of music groups over the years in my career with zany group leaders with energy for days and watched plenty of enthusiastic kids tv presenters too which is clearly what Imogen is trying to emulate but she falls so short of it because it’s all just so forced and fake! You either have it or you don’t.
The singing alone had me cringing because she’s trying to make it all melodic but she is trying way too hard and doesn’t have a naturally good singing voice to carry it off. Clearly I’m in a bitchy mood today
but my god the absolute lack of self awareness from Imo has just set me off on one there!
No wonder her baby has trouble sleeping if this is what Imo is like with her, she must be so overstimulated!
