Willow Smith, On Top of The World

Pint-sized trendsetter Willow Smith is making one heck of a splash. Last week she debuted a video for her chart-topping single "Whip My Hair," and it's already been viewed seven million times on YouTube. That's a lot for a 9-year-old who's still trying to get through her homework. But Willow Smith is no ordinary tween, of course. With Hollywood power couple Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith as parents, and "Karate Kid 2" star Jaden Smith as a brother, it's only fitting that Willow would be carving her out superstar tracks. Take a look at this busy bee's evolution from Will and Jada's baby girl, to global phenom. Here's what you had to say: Tiffany commented via Facebook: "I'm far from being a 12-year-old ever again, but I love the song! What a talented family!" Jocelyn wrote via Facebook: "I wish her much success. Maybe she'll go on tour and I can take my girls to their first concert."
