hmmm not sure about that, i think it's too early to tell that just yet. I think the fact that she is so young may work against her, like many other child stars. If she manages to keep a level head then I see no reason why she wouldn't have her own niche, if she can find/hang on to it. not saying it's impossible by any means. Level-headedness won't be a problem since daddy Smith will be watching her like a hawk, I'm sure. She could very well have a niche, but what I'm saying is I doubt she'll be any kind of super-stardom as so many people are predicting that much later in her career. She's a child star with what appears to be one novelty hit. Based on past history, it's far more likely she'll go the way of the rest than otherwise.

I agree, I think she will do ok, but honestly I doubt she will be as big as Bey or Ri

Lol. Her team should get her a TV show or something for her to connect with some people her age. I get the feeling it's mainly older people buying "Whip My Hair" and those aren't the people that are going to be buying her album. I think that's the wrong way to look at it. She looks to be marketed in much the same way an act like Lil Bow Wow or even early Usher and Chris Brown were handled. All were played on regular urban radio and understood to have some adults buying their stuff as well as kids. Lots of times the parents listen to the radio too. These acts did not only play on Disney shows. So while I expect her to show up in some tweener stuff, I think she'll keep being handled in the same way, and I don't know if its bad. It is G0rl, it is. As young as they were, those 3 were marketed towards pleasing girls. Young male artists always have that niche to fill with crazy, overzealous girl fans...Justin Bieber has that now. That's why neither of them needed Disney. Marketing Willow like that won't work. Urban radio (and community) is supporting her and she has everyone's attention right now with WMH but they're going to have to establish a kid fanbase in order for her to succeed with her overall career and not just be a random novelty act.

Hmmm. I see your point. I'm trying to think of the last successful black female kid act and all I can come up with is Raven Symone, and she had a Disney show. As far as someone who got radio play, you got to go all the way back to maybe Brandy and Monica? But they were older when they started. So I guess we'll see how this one plays out.

Ok, I have to admit I did not get this song at all at first, but it really has grown on me. Listening to the chorus in isolation can be off-putting, but all the other parts of the song are great. She did really well during her Ellen performance too.

Ugh, so close to the top 10. If only she hadn't released in such a competitive week, she would have had a better shot of getting a top 10 debut.
Btw, is this video up on AOL yet? I tried searching for it but didn't show up. Streaming obviously is a small part of the Hot 100 formula but every little bit helps and this video is quite popular.

Lame update indeed but the fact that it's now top 40 should give it some more life.
