Cruz Beckham Blushes While Listening to His First Single — Before Heading Off to School
Cruz Beckham has dreams of becoming the next Justin Bieber — presumably minus the legal drama and temper tantrums — and has released his first single.

The youngest son of David and Victoria, who is just 11, dropped “If Every Day Was Christmas,” a sugary and upbeat festive pop ditty backed by a choir, on Wednesday morning. However, it was otherwise a pretty typical day for the London kid, who had his breakfast — while listening to the track and blushing wildly — before school, a moment captured by his dad.

His former Spice Girls mom, who described herself as “super proud,” shared a second video of the choir that backed the celeb kid.

Cruz has been showing his musical chops throughout 2016. In April, Victoria shared a video of him covering Twista and Faith Evans’s 2005 hit “Hope.” Soon after, he did a killer rendition of “Cups,“ the song made famous by Anna Kendrick in Pitch Perfect.
While Cruz, who is being managed by Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, is donating all of the proceeds from his single to charity, his new music career isn’t without critics. The most vocal of the bunch is Piers Morgan, the former CNN talk show host, who has something to say tweet about pretty much everything.
Here are just a few of his (many, many) tweets:
The Beckhams pimping out their 11yr-old son Cruz into the Christmas single pop market is a new low even by their standards. @GMB

He's an 11yr-old child being cynically pimped out by his famous parents with your collusion. Be proud Scooter! https://t.co/5jixIEBM8m

I'm trying to protect Cruz Beckham from his fame-hungry parents. https://t.co/vOqXuS5qfh

Stop pretending this is about charity when it's about promoting Brand Beckham & making YOU a ton of money off another young kid's back. https://t.co/5kZySmr49I

Of course – but I wouldn't pimp them out as pseudo 'pop stars' at the age of 11. https://t.co/WaU8mgQlpB

Morgan does make some interesting points. All of Victoria and David’s sons are capitalizing on their life in the limelight. Brooklyn, 17, had a high-profile romance with Chlo? Grace Moretz, is a model and aspiring photographer, and often appears on magazine covers. Romeo, 14, has been modeling for Burberry since he was 10.
The couple’s only daughter, Harper, is largely kept out of the spotlight, but she’s 5. Give her time. We predict she designs a special clothing line for American Girl by her 7th birthday!
But, hey, Cruz’s single is kind of cute, especially if you’re feelin’ the holiday spirit. Give it a listen.
