14 DAY TRIAL // She may be just 10 but Willow Smith has already proved she can put one amazing show. At this weekend’s Kids’ Choice Awards 2011, Willow performed a 2-song medley – and killed it, as the video below will perform.
If confirmation was needed anymore, Willow seems a natural born performer. She’s done several live gigs already, but a single look at the video below (listen to how the crowd cheers for her) will confirm that she’s set for greatness
Introduced by “Gossip Girl” / The Pretty Reckless star Taylor Momsen, Willow began singing her second single, “21st Century Girl,” on the opposite side of the venue from where the stage was – and was then airborne from there.
Strapped to a harness, the singer “flew” over the audience, while brother Jaden and proud father Will Smith were cheering from the audience, right there next to Miley Cyrus.
Once on the stage, Willow broke into another song, her debut single, the chart-topping “Whip My Hair,” and into the same energetic dance routine she displays in the official video for it.
The entire performance went off without a glitch for Willow, but not the same can be said about one of her backup dancers.
Since the Kids’ Choice Awards are just as much about crowning the best in movies, music and TV for kids as they’re about sliming celebrities, some green goo was left on the stage.
Clearly, the staff missed a spot when they cleaned the stage, and one of Willow’s backup dancers stepped on it, slipped and fell.
Luckily, she was not hurt and, by the looks of things, she bounced back pretty quickly, as if nothing had happened.
As of now, Willow has two songs out, those she performed at the awards over the weekend, “Whip My Hair” and “21st Century Girl,” for which she put out a video almost one month ago.
She’s now working with Jay Z on her debut album, but a definite release date for it hasn’t been announced yet.
Check out Willow Smith’s performance at the Kids’ Choice Awards 2011 below and, of course, enjoy.
