21st Century Girl

Im pretty sure everyone knows who Willow Smith is. Not unless you live under a rock!
Whip my Hair was an amazing song and the video was totally fun and i must say i actually enjoyed it.
Fast forward to 21st century Girl: Wait a minute who's video is this? The video opens with some creppy old voodoo looking lady making some funny sounds and some other weird gibberish then the ground opening up and willow smith crawling out of a hole in the ground. errr..isn’t willow smith 10?
i can understand if Rihanna does a video like this or maybe Janet Jackson. I mean people of their demographic can relate to that. But a 10 year old? It doesn’t even make any sense.
First off who’s her target audience? Other 8-14 year olds? How are they supposed to relate to lyrics like "Gimme an inch I promise I’ll take a mile / Danger is beauty I’ll face it with a smile / I’m on a mission with no restrictions / don’t second guess myself, I’m born to be wild.  Or “im the type of girl who knocks you off your feet” Not to even mention that border-line PG 13 video!
Secondly, what exactly are Papa and Mama Smith doing? Shouldn’t she be in school learning and growing up? I am not against child stars and all but there’s a reason they are called child stars…they do “child” things!
Lastly who is in charge of her wardrobe? My God! She’s like a Gypsy half the time. The other half she looks like  Ke$ha’s protégée.
It’s sad that she’s getting sucked into all this murk, just make fun, young, fresh music-a-la-Bieber and move on from there
Jay- Z seriously…what’s the end game here?
Watch the video below and see for yourself, maybe I am just old school. smh

  1. Honestly, I dont like it but who am i to say a 10 year old is a bad singer. Personally i think Willow is so young! When she gets to about 18-20 i think she's gonna be a star...but whatever, ill take it she is better than that Kim K.

  3. Another thing, i so agree with what author Terri McMillian said about Willow and how Will and Jada need to let them kids be kids. They are growing Willow up just too fast! She's too young to even know what she wants....They should let the child be a child..

  5. The kid is ruined. Like Evie says, Will and Jada should let her be a child that she is.

  6. i love the concept of this video, but its too obvious she's acting above her age. If she doesn't end up like Britney Spares n Lindsay Lohan then am glad, but only time would tell
