Its So Hard To Be A Baby (Dur Dur d'etre un Bebe)

Anyone remember this kid? He's Jordy, a 3 year old from France who became the youngest person ever to score a #1 single...





Need a refresher?



(I couldn't find the original video but I figured the reactions of American music industry regulars would make up for it)

Anywho, here's what little Jordy looks like now:



He apparently sold some 6 million albums over the course of his career and at one point was banned from French radio and television, since there was concern about his parents exploiting him. Recently, he found out that he has virtually no royalties left, due to his father's business ventures. He released a single last year and has a Myspace page (myspace.com/jordymusique)

Wasn't this kid's video on Beavis and Butthead? I also had a hard time believing that anyone would spend money on his "music".
