Apologies crankypants! looks like I'm the odd one out! ;D
Nevertheless- here's my two bobs worth!
I think Bindi's demeanor needs to be appraised in the context that she is Steve Irwin's daughter and she spent an enormous amount of time with her father (much more than the average Australian child would with their own father) and seems to have the same wide eyed wonderment & enthusiasm that he had (the same demeanor in Steve was not often perceived as genuine and sadly he was ridiculed because of it).
I have yet to see anything from Bindi that seems anything other than natural exuberance. I thought it was sweet that she learnt her lines for the little "off the cuff' banter she had with Glenn Robbins.
Truth be told this kid has done more in her short life than we'll ever do, so jumping up in front of all the celebs & a large tv audience is on a par with my kids playing soccer on the weekends- it's actually a part of her life,no big deal.
*hops off soapbox..very carefully doesn't want to break a hip!*

She is definately her fathers daughter ----- not for me to comment on her upbringing -- not close enough to them to do so ---- but I know there are a lot of kids out there being abused by their parents everyday in the most awful ways and my thoughts go to them ---- and I hope that they all are able to come thru whatever challenges are thrown at them.

I just listened to Damien's performance again. When Adam Hills is warning any aboriginals that there will be some images and voices of deceased people, why does he say that? Don't they take that very well?
I don't remember him saying that at the time, but now listening to it as an mp3 i heard it

I wondered that as well. At first I thought it was some kind of joke, and was wondering why he would make a joke right before something serious. My sister told me that it's actually against Aboriginal people's culture/beliefs to talk about people who are dead, which also includes watching videos, etc. because they believe it's disrespectful to them. They actually have to give a warning to Aboriginal people before they show stuff like that on TV.
And I didn't remember him saying it till I listened to the MP3 either, probably because I was focusing on Damien the first time I heard it. ;D

The warning is in respect of aboriginal culture. It is used mainly on ABC TV and SBS prior to showing any program that may show footage of indigenous people who have, since being filmed, died. I haven't noticed it on commercial TV before Adam Hills said it - in this case in regards to Justine Saunders, actress

I have heard it before. Mainly on the current affairs or news programs. It is as Selestial mentioned.
