Willow Smith - Whip My Hair
SHE'S TEN.
For her age she's certainly got star quality and is a disturbingly confident performer. But I can't help but feel that's more the result of clearly the pushiest parents in showbiz. SHE'S TEN. Surely this song is evidence of todays celebrity focused culture reaching younger depths? I don't think she's as musically talented as people seem to be making out. SHE'S TEN. Instead it's down to the producers for creating a track that is simultaneously annoyingly catchy and weirdly quite cool. Take note Justin Bieber. I just feel a bit sick watching the video, in the same way that American child beauty pageants are repulsive. SHE'S TEN. Yet despite the fairly adult styling (she looks like a younger Rihanna) and lines such as "all my ladies" (SHE'S TEN), it somehow strangely works and Whip My Hair is quite a good party track.
Still, SHE'S TEN. Shouldn't she be in school?
