She's a star without a doubt. Willow Smith's second Single 21st Century Girl pays homage to her - I don't believe I'm saying this - "elders", Rihanna and Ke$sha. Gosh, I'm v. old. Nothing but some fun Dance-Pop and perhaps even catchier and Radio-friendly than debut single Whip My Hair. It won't be a Chart topper, but it's enough to continue building that ever-growing Fan base of hers. She's won me over!

Not only can Will and Jade Pinkett-Smith's nine year-old daughter Willow sing, dance and act, but her hair can also create Jackson Pollock-inspired pieces. Now that's talent. Willow Smith's debut video for Whip My Hair just premiered and what a slick production it is, indeed. Yes, way - nine years-old.
When I was her age I was finding excuses not to do my Homework and was so not practicing Piano.
Yes, seriously. She's only nine years-old, but the Cameras have been all over her of late. Willow Smith, daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith, only recently signed a deal with Jay-Z's RocNation (distributed via Sony Music/Columbia Records) and is now ready to unleash her debut single Whip My Hair. I'll have you know that Smith actually co-wrote this track with new producer Jukebox. Upon first listen, the track appears one part Beyoncé's Diva and all sorts of Rihanna, not surprising considering that both these ladies have received much musical guidance from the greatness that is Jay-Z.
Whip My Hair is perhaps catchy enough for Kids, but also just edgy enough for Urban crowd and has the honour of already reaching number 27 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart. Do I think it'll be huge? Not likely as she needs to take a cue from her idol Rihanna and work with a single that has a more singable/melodic hook - that much needed ingredient to that illusive Pop Gold. Do I think though that this is mighty impressive for a nine year-old girl? You bet.
