Welcome to Gaia! ::

I haven't been aware of this song until very recently when a class mate mentioned it and was talking about what a great video it was. So I looked it up, and was disappointed. I don't particularly care for this empty,soulless "song." It lacks substance and to be honest, it sounds like everyone else out now *cough*Rihanna*cough*. Of course same-sound-syndrome has been a plague for years, so meh -_- . Also, I don't really care for the people involved in making this video, and that includes the ones that made Willow.

I don't just like when Hollywood Stars use pretty much pimp their own kids. Why can't they just go to school and be educated? We have enough people in the media. We need more lawyers, scientist, and doctors especially in the colored America.

I agree with both your replies, Mr. Crawley! 3nodding

I agree that a 3rd/4th-grader isn't going to show much lyrical depth in her songs at her age, which is fine; let a child be a child.

Also, there's nothing wrong with doing what you love in life; too many of us get stuck in jobs we hate for most of our lives. Bravo for a kid being able to do what she likes doing for right now.

Those kids that really want to be doctors and lawyers need to be nurtured, too; I think their hopes & dreams too often get squashed by parents/teachers/peers.

As for the actual video, I actually like the choreography in this video MUCH better. Plus, all the dancers seem to be the same age. I didn't like how Willow's video and her live performance on a TV show featured so many dancers who were obviously much older than her. Other than that, it's kid-like & cute -- good for her! 3nodding

I love that video. I think she IS having fun in the moment. We all have fun in different ways. If she wants to sing, I'm actually happy for her that she's in a place where she's able to sing. She's doing her own little thing and the starpower of her parents really isn't the factor here--she's shining all on her own.

I like that her message is positive and all about celebrating yourself and life, and especially that hair. There was plenty of depth and soul when I saw that little one performing in that video. Who knows where it will go? She might do it for a year, might end up doing it for the rest of her life and carving out her own niche. As I've heard it, she's the one who wanted to sing, not her parents trying to pimp her out.

I'd rather see little girls singing about this than the other tripe I've seen them soaking up like little sponges. I have a 3 year old in my watch who sadly knows about "making it rain" and all that. That's all her mom's influence, though. Anyway, it's a great song.

There's so much Willow hate. She's just a kid, so I don't understand it.

I remember in that even elementary school girls would talk about each other behind backs and things like that, so I'm thinking that the song is more about that kind of thing and to just brush it off and be yourself (etc.)
