Hi all,
there is one page:
www.rsr.ch/#/medias/audios/3266085-la-prodige-emily-bear-invitee-de-quincy-jones-13-07-2011.html
where you can see well known photo of Emily but if you press little speaker with text "Ecouter" you can hear some reportage from Montreux also with Emily. Unfortunately, it is in French language. I am afraid that we don't have here somebody speaking French to translate it.
However, what I understood is that Emily likes Lady Gaga.

Hi Petee, I took French in high school so I gave that a listen and from what I understand:
The beginning part is the little writing next to the photo, which according to Google translate means:
"The legendary producer invited musician friends such as the renowned Cuban pianist Alfredo Rodriguez, the bassist Esperanza Spalding and a 9-year-old pianist Emily Bear. Masserey Michel met her the day before his concert montreuxien."
Then they said that Emily wore her blue dress and smiled timidly. In the crowd there were her father and mother.
He continued by listing Emily's accomplishments: begin playing piano at age five and her first concert not long after that; playing at the white house for president bush; and her fifth album just came out.
He said: Her mother doesn't like the title "child prodigy"; and she corrects people about that.
He continues: Emily doesn't only appreciate classical music.
Emily says: I listen to all styles, jazz, classic, and also lots of the popular songs. (and the guy asked about lady gaga, then emily says definitely)
Emily says: It's a really big honor to play for Quincy Jones. I'm very excited to perform with the other musicians. I like to improvise the melody, it's really fun.
Then the guy says: Emily Bear encounters a new and large crowd at every concert. Her video on youtube has more than 20 million views.

There is more that I didn't translate, but that's all I could get, hopefully that helps Sorry if it's confusing. If anyone here speak French, please post a better translation, merci. ;D
