Jay-Z: Willow Smith is like a young Michael Jackson
Jay-Z has dismissed claims Will Smith’s nine-year-old daughter is too young for a record deal, likening her to a youthful Michael Jackson.
Willow Smith has signed to Jay’s Roc Nation record label, and her first single Whip My Hair is already available to view online. The track was watched more than 100,000 on video sharing website YouTube within a day of being posted on the site.
Some people have criticised the decision to allow Willow – Will’s daughter with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith – to record music due to her age, but Jay insists it isn’t a problem.
“I heard the record first before I knew that it was recorded by a nine year old and I was like, man that record's a smash. I believe in superstars. I believe in big records and in superstars and I think [Willow] has both,” the hip-hop star told Ryan Seacrest in a radio interview.
“She has a child's innocence but she has a clear vision of who she is and who she wants to be. I can only imagine that's how Mike [Michael Jackson] was as a young kid, he knew exactly what he wanted. When you have that sort of talent, there is no such thing as too young.”
Jay added the first time he met Willow she told him she was nervous, which impressed him. He likes people to be open and honest with him, and thinks she showed “maturity” by admitting she was worried.
He likened Willow to Rihanna, who Jay also discovered. It’s not the first time the young star has been compared to the older singer – Willow’s edgy sense of style and shaved haircut have led many to believe she looks up to Rihanna.
Willow is taking her new career in her stride, and has spoken about the meaning of Whip My Hair.
“It means just be an individual. Like, you can't be afraid to be yourself, you have to be yourself, and you can't let anyone tell you that that's wrong,” she told Ryan.
“My mom teaches me to say how I feel all the time. My mom and me are very strong individuals and I just know that, because lots of people, they don't act like themselves, so they're not happy."

<!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: --> She's a carbon copy of her dad! He never has to worry the kid might not be his, that's for sure!
This gave me the creeps though. She is a lovely kid and beautiful as well, but she doesn't sound like a 9-year-old at all. This worries me and Jay-Z working with her worries me even more. This kid needs to go to school, have a normal life, grow up and come back when she's ready. **alarmbells**
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."I understand i was thinking the whole time is it really a good choice for her to be working with him or even at all?? And they hype her up 2 b the next Rihanna which i really hope doesn't happen because i love Rihanna but i just don't think it would be a good idea <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
LOL hmmm i wonder does she even wanna be in school???
Here is her song Whip My Hair by the way <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->

Agreed, on all counts. She really has such a great energy about her; I really hope she doesn't lose that. Contrary to what Jaz-Z says, there just might be such a thing as too young. I guess only time will tell. But boy, she really does sound a lot like Rihanna.
LOL - I couldn't get through the song. I guess that dates me <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) --> But, she has a good voice. Very strong for her age but then look at her parents.

I guess Will and Jada have not payed attention to what Michael has gone through, I guess we need to send them a copy of MJ's song Childhood. <!-- s:( -->:(<!-- s:( --> She should treasure these years, they fly by.
I don't think Will or Jada experienced the negative aspect of Hollywood. None of us really know what they are thinking but to me it appears that they've done a great job raising Willow and her brother. Time will tell if the values they've instilled in her will be strong enough to withstand the tides of stardom. I pray they will.
If that's her dream she has to follow it.
It seems like Jay-Z wants to be the Joe Jackson to Willow's career.
The girl better be careful with that she's getting into.
Yes, edgy clothes... Auto-tune.. But where's the authenticity? Or the "Young MJ" characteristic everyone's raving about?
I agree. I hope she gets a normal childhood.
i seen her interview with Ryan seacrest...she seems to have very good manners and is well spoken and seems grounded..
i don't think that her parents have ever been in the spot light for something negative or have been put thru a lot during there time in Hollywood..unlike our Michael has..were they blind to what all has happened to our Michael and all he has and is going Thur his whole life??!!...i wont dog on her or her family since i do not know them..i think she said she likes rihanna and you can tell..hell if i didn't know any better i would had thought that rihanna was the one that sang that song lol..there voice does sound close to both..anyways...my gut never lies and i do not get a good feeling about this and who sign her to a record label??!!..the man himself..jay z.... <!-- s:evil: -->:evil:<!-- s:evil: -->
was it TS who asked if i was scared yet!!??
well i am now!!!
huggs n faith n love to all
suzz
I think some people are forgetting what exactly Michael was and what he represented back in the days of Jackson 5. He had REAL TALENT. not just oh he can sing talent either. he was an entertainer, a performer. He had a gift. If you put this "whip my hair" song next to a jackson 5 video...i dont see the resemblance...besides times have changed and the world is a much more corrupted place now, gotta be careful letting your 9 year old daughter get into this kinda stuff. come on smiths, be smart.
May i say : Fresh Princess <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
what ? <!-- s:| -->:|<!-- s:| -->
Shuut up dude! <!-- s
I just mean she looks so much like her daddy, and she's so lovely she looks like a little princess...so i allowed myself to thi joke about fresh prince...
