2010 Pro Football Hall of Fame Queen Pageant features RELM, joyful and innocent

While the media is all abuzz about the recently distributed clip of a group of 8 and 9 year old scantily clad girls dancing in a competition to Beyonce's “Single Ladies”, Canton's own cuties, RELM brought an air of joy and innocence to this year's Pro Football Hall of Fame Queen Pageant.

ABC30 tells the story of the Orange County California group Precision Dance. A talented group of young girls dancing to Beyonce's “Single Ladies” and has the video of that dance that has created a national debate.

On the other side of the country, in Canton, Ohio, things couldn't have been more different.

As the 15 finalists in the 2010 Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival Queen Pageant awaited the announcement of the judges last tabulation, 4 beautiful young girls, RELM, took the stage and shocked the crowd.

RELM, made up of sisters Raegan (12), Evan (9), Logan (11), and Macy (8) are a musical group with big smiles, and bigger voices. They blend the contemporary with the classics, and perform with an exuberance, joy, and innocence that is too often missing in today's hyper-sexual youth entertainment environment.

“It's so nice to see young girls who are just allowed to be kids, and talented too!”, said Stephon King, producer of “Points to Ponder” mornings on WHBC 1480 AM after they aired a clip of the girls singing.

Watch the video of RELM performing at the pageant, and share your thoughts. I can personally attest to the quality of character that these young girls embody. After all, I am their daddy...
