Aw, shyt. Lol, Willow outsung Rihanna on her own sh*t! Haha…the performance was cute but, is it too much to ask that the back up dancers be around 9/10 years old? I’m just saying…lolol
LMAO @ Willow showing Rihanna how to do it!
She’s so talented! Go Willow!!!!
proves that this isn’t just autotuned,the girl has talent.
She did pretty good. I was impressed. I also agree with someone else on this post who said something to the effect, “No wonder Rihanna ran over to Roc Nation!” I found that move ironic myself. As soon as she saw Willow being signed to the label under Jay-Z, she hurried up and got her butt over there! Lol. I know Willow is only nine or ten years old, but you have to admit Rihanna’s probably feeling a little bit of the “heat” considering that people keep saying that their style of dress (being eccentric), singing and music is “somewhat”, similar. It doesn’t help either when people are saying things like, “Dang Rihanna, she sang your song better than you did!” I know she hears people saying things. So, to be honest with you, to a certain extent Willow is Rihanna’s competition. Of course, it’s not on purpose. But, when you have so many people comparing the two of them together, what else are you left to think? It’s crazy considering that Rihanna is in her early 20′s and Willow isn’t even a teenager yet! Other than that, I think she did a really good job on Ellen. A star is definitely in the making!
Wow she was really good.Damn I wish star search was back on
Yesss Ms. Willow! Welp There You Have It Folks…For Anyone Who Was Skeptical
This lil girl is too damn grown.
Why every time someone try to defend a not so good singer they claim those who know how to PROJECT their vocals are ‘screaming’ OH HUSH YOU MAD! YOU MAD SHE KNOWS HOW TO SING RIHANNA’S SONG BETTER.
I like Rihanna but to be truthful the girl needs improvements (she’s improving but she needs to pick it up). And here’s Willow 10 years old knowing how to PROJECT her vocals better than a 22 year old…
WOWOWO!!! I strongly suggest you a great s ite
—Meet rich guys,—hot babies—Hollywood celebrities, who are searching for their special someone. a place to make your life better and open opportunities for you to meet the attractive sin gles. Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends !!!
A STAR IS BORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To think I thought she was a Rihanna wanna be…Rihanna ain’t got nothing on Willow! Willow is definitely a star! I look forward to hearing and seeing her getting further ahead in her career. Now African American little girls have someone to look up to other than Hannah Montana! Go Girl!
This is what happens when parents project on their kids…. Jada wishes she could do these things (Remember Wicked Wisdom, her band) so they sacrifice or push up the kids to do these it. It’s called living vicariously.
She didn’t even sound out of breath or anything.
Great first performance!
You can whip your hair if you bought it! Team Willow. Didnt like some of the dances, felt little too grown but she did a great job. Definitely see some Jada’s Wicked Wisdom performance moves. If Selina Gomez, My Carly, and every other kid on Nickelodeon can have an album, Willow can do her thing too.
that was an award show caliber performance and it was on point…she is amazing for ten years old
Loved it!
THE RIH HATERS ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO COME FOR HER. WHY COMPARE A 10 YEAR OLD TO A 20SOMETHING YEAR OLD WOMAN? WILLOW PAID HOMAGE TO RIHANNA BY DOING HER SONG & OBVIOUSLY ADMIRES HER STYLE AS WELL. Y’ALL ARE SO PATHETIC TRYING TO CREATE BEEF BETWEEN A LITTLE KID & A GROWN AZZ WOMAN. I HOPE YOU FOOLS DON’T EVER HAVE KIDS! Y’ALL ARE SOME SILLY BISHES.
Did someone say bye bye RiRi? Lmao! Ummm Rihanna has the most #1 hits of the entire decade so sorry she isn’t going anywhere. Keep wishing for every chick to end Rihanna’s career. Hold your breath & keep waiting. She will still be here at the top of the charts. Only girl was already top 5 in 16 countries so nobody killed Rihanna on her own song & nobody will. Have a seat.
Willow did a good job, so I’m giving her props for her style, class, motivation and her willingness to be able to be multi talented!!!
However, I do feel that she patterns herself after Ri-Ri, she is on the same page as Ri-Ri, the style, the stage presence and the ability to make cross over music, while being true to herself. Hell Tyrese patterned himself after Teddy Pendergrass and R. Kelly after Aaron Hall, so everybody has someone they wished they could be like in some way…
Im proud of the lil girl…
Willow Smillow man what was the point of doing the only girl in the world intro so lame well she will be on drugs by the time she’s 15 so hope u ready to do CPR Nurse Hawthorn
Why are people hating on a 10 y.o.? Get a freakin’ life. lmao
That little girl did a great job…and you haters know it.
Williow did a really good job. She’s very talented but people don’t get it twisted. Williow looks up to Rihanna and that’s who she is patterning herself after it’s clear to see and there’s nothing wrong with that.
I hope Rihanna was watching and taking notes. Class is in session.
go willow you did your thang girl keep up the good work you got true talent whoever saying NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT HER YALL JUST JEALOUS ASS BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EVEN IF IT AINT HER HAIR SHE STILL BEAUTIFUL
Wow aint this about the age beyonce started singing and performing? star search? Do I see a growing Beyonce knowles in the making. I just hope with all this promo tours, movie and the long rehersals she and her parents are making sure she has more then enough time with school and just being a 9 year old,
No you don’t see a beyaki in the making. You know damn well that’s a little Rihanna all day. Rihanna is a successful artist too. Stop acting like Beyonce is the only one people can look up to. That is Rihanna from head to toe. Rihanna is her idol OBVIOUSLY. Willow isn’t taking anybody’s spot except for those little Disney kids. She is not on a Rihanna level yet. People who have been in the business for DECADES aren’t even on Rihanna’s level. Cut the bull! The song is cute and catchy but it’s a LOOOONG way to go before people can start comparing her to one of the top females in the game. This is only the FIRST single. Wait for the follow up. Wait until Willow sells millions. Then you can talk smack about an ESTABLISHED artist like Rihanna.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE LIKE RIHANNA! SHE IS GORGEOUS AND TALENTED AND FIERCE! WILLOW GAVE PROPS AND THE REST OF THESE PEOPLE NEED TO DO THE SAME! GIVE CREDIT WHERE IT’S DUE. RIHANNA CAME INTO THE GAME AND MADE THE OTHER CHICKS TAKE NOTICE! SHE IS THAT BEYOTCH! SHE WILL SILENCE THE HATERS AGAIN WITH LOUD!!
if Britney and Christina parents were rich we would have been seeing them since they were 5… and if I have to hear/see Miley and all those sub-talented Disney and Nickelodeon kids.. I may as well give Willow my blessings… You go girl show them how it’s done….
Well now we have diamond neck braces as fashion trend? The song is mad anoying and I don’t care if she can out sing rhianna or who ever..the song sucks! I don’t know what y’all are listening too but what I’m hearing is straight garbage! Black folks will fall for anything smh….
GO WILLLOW!! GO WILLOW!! HATERS SHE CAN SING AND PERFORM MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN RIHANNA EVEN SOUNDED BETTER SINGING RIHANNA’S SONG IN THE BEGINNING…SO RIHANNA’S STANS PLEASE HOP OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!
WHy is everyone comparing her to Rihanna. I dont see it. She 10 yrs old. Matta fact she killled this live performance. She got talent regardless of who her parents are. She got everyone whipping their hair! Dont matta if long or short.
Well actually on her MTV interview, they asked willow who she looked up to in the business and she said, Billy Idol, Beyonce, Jay-Z, and her mom and dad… Rihanna was not on that list. You can look up the intreview on youtube. But anyway, yeah Rihanna needs to call the 10 year old and take notes. The girl has way more talent and slayed rihanna on her own song. Love it
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU
RIHANNA WAS NOT ON THAT LIST
WILLOW DOES NOT CARE ABOUT RIHANNA. SHE LIKES QUEEN BEYONCE LMAOOOO
RIHANNA STANS NEED TO QUIT HATING ON THIS 10 YEAR OLD AND CONCENTRATE ON THE EPIC FAILURE CALLED RIHOEANNA
She KILLED it ! but then again .. she comes from a long line of beasts .. aww she’s a future threat, mark my words. Will & Jada breed nothing but stars.
saw it she did great wonderful voice
It speaks to the sad state of today’s music industry when we are impressed just because someone sounds the same way they do on their recording.
Not taking anything away from her, she’s pretty talented, just making a point.
LOVED Willow’s performance….you go girl!!
She did such a good job. Wow Jay-Z actually signed a singer who can sing and dance and has stage presence. Wow, now he can drop Rihanna who has none of the above, as was painfully obvious in her SNL monstrosities.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet many of the people who are making idiotic comments, comparing her to women like Rihanna and Beyonce are young as hell. It amazes me how many people on black blogs support this little girl! She sings the first line of “Only Girl” by Rihanna which is talking about SEX and people don’t care! This little girl has got the voice, attitude, charisma, and image but she’s 10 and that’s CREEPY TO ME! How she dresses is TOO GROWN! Her crazy hair do, colorful and fashionable clothing… it’s just something I would expect a 15 year old to wear. I think she needs to wait to get in a business like this because it’s such a fast lane, controversy, and sexually and lyrically explicit world! I’m only a 20 year young female, but I don’t see how anyone over 14 can be feeling this little girl like that. Willow, come back in 7 or even 6 years.
Dang she killed it , love Willow. Damn RIRI should step her vocal game up, a 9yr old should never do your song better then you… Yikes lol
What’s up with all the Pink Upside down triangle symbology? Smh, do your research people.
Willow whipping it so hard she made Riyawna pack up and move to London. Yes Willow!
lmao no beef shes a lil rihanna (a better sounding and preforming…lil rihanna)
all i can say is willow was sent from the future to destroy rihanna (live) lol still got love for rih tho FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER! POOHZIZBIGGA!
willow is really talented she sounds better live than alot of the singers out now…dont change willow!!!!!!
At least she’s not like the 10 yr old girl in Spain that just gave birth !!! As long as her parents keep her grounded & whoop that azz when she gets out of hand, she’ll go far. Good for her !!!
Alot of these comments are pure IGNORANCE, Willow was born a STAR in the wound she heard ENTERTAINMENT………As far as her picking Rihanna song and Jay-z signing her these are most likely her role model’s………..TRUST n BELIEVE singing/entertainment will not be a big part of her life…….She is the definition of LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST and being successful @ the same time.*:-)*
