As a kid she was in Kazakhstan singing in their language it just can't be more obvious lol

 I found a VK account with her nane Aigerim Mergenbai (this name appears here : www.facebook.com/icctay/ ) and there is a picture from that girl (not 100% sure that it's the same girl but her face is quite similar...) apparently taken in 2012:

So I'm not sure at all that she is over 18.

I noticed there is Almaty mentioned as her home city on that vk page and also something on that school section also says something about Kazakhstan. On her FB page there is also a post where she is in Almaty so tho i am not sure if these are enough either i just noticed those

Obvious enough to prove that she is not even 18 yet to complete.

But hey, let the participants not read the rules ...

BRAZIL CALLING

Any Artist name ? SOng name? 

Need a link to show she is Brazillian

She ran for Brazilian president last year, so I guess that's enough to prove that she's from Brazil.

And by the way, this is "Mulher Coité" by Mulher Coité.

....well, what a mess. Fabbi, thanks for the tag. Some things need to be clarified.
Let's debunk this situation created regarding the Kazakh confusion and C.C.Tay being Kazakh by nationality, shall we?
(and that's coming from an half-Kazakh, by the way)

1. The Gakku TV thing: Gakku TV is literally our first music channel which airs content only made in Kazakhstan or by Kazakh musicians. If there happens to be some foreigners (let's say, Kyrgyz or Russians, it's not uncommon for either), they're usually in a collaboration with a kazakh artist. Literally Wikipedia explains it all. It's a reliable source for he Kazakh music industry especially when like 85% of the kazakh songs are basically there. 15% through other little channels which may focus on the folk side of Kazakhstan.

2: the VK thing. Considering the account hadn't been used since 2012, it's safe to say she changed her account. She's not so active on FB considering her last post there was on February 24th. However, her Instagram is often up to date, and has indeed her VK page, which isn't anymore that one Llemian linked. That one is up to date. Furthermore, Aigerim is natively from Almaty, basically saying we share the same hometown. As much as my basic geography goes, Almaty is the biggest city in Kazakhstan.

3: her age (I think that was the hottest one for debate): April 18th, 2000. That makes her 18 and perfectly eligible for the contest. You can find the link over here.

Now is this enough evidence for approving this act? Because if you say to a Kazakh loud in their faces they're not their actual nationality as you keep on claiming, don't think you'll get away with it without any possible consequences, trust me. The fact that her music is uploaded to Gakku, is from Almaty and is signed under a Kazakh label should've made the job, and only the age should've put the question mark, not the nationality.

I'm done with this, officially. And it's not the first time the nationality thing has been put up to question.

Thanks for this. I'll just choose another entry to make the host happy, though I'm pretty dissapointed in the whole situation.
But it does say there that she is born in Kazakhstan so is the entry accepted or not now?

The connection to Almaty seemed decisive in my opinion. I have no idea how big it is, but there is certainly a Kazakh diaspora over former USSR and potentially other countries in the world so we could potentially have a singer who can sing Kazakh but never lived in the country. And the funniest thing is that I spotted a Kazakh girl (Daneliya Tuleshova) and wanted to send her to JMSC a few months ago and I discovered that the entry had already been used... for Russia (and the singer had absolutely no connection with Russia). So I understand that the host wants to avoid other mistakes like that in the main contest.

Checking the age of a singer is also often a pain in the a... especially when you don't speak the language of the country. But you can't avoid it, especially with a girl, even when she looks 20-ish.
