That girl ain't a 5th grader! That's Malika Wilkins from down the street! Her 15 year old daughter hangs out with my sister!

SweetbabyJeezus! That child's voice is ANNOINTED

I mean, we hear pop singers talk all the time about their "gift" and how they're destined to share it with others, ect..but I saw this and was thinking to those other folks,


"Naw...you might wanna go sit down somewhere and just concentrate on making hits... keep your eye on 3 and a half minutes of mindless drivel for the masses. There are some folks out there that truly have the "gift" catagory covered without your help "

I mean, did y'all see that little girl??? At ELEVEN

I was really sleeping on her stuff, then I gave "Need You Bad", and I couldn't stop listening to it

I just hope that Missy does not fuck up a good thing!!

If u can some of her jazzy tracks.....GREAT stuff.

- Wow that was really good

Man, I love "The Wiz" soundtrack. "Home" is actually a pretty difficult song to sing, and actually pull off; so, for an 11 year old to nail it LIVE shows that she's got some great vocal abilities going on there. The first time I heard, "I Need You Bad", I was hooked on Jazmine and "Lions, and Tigers, and Bears" is fire too. I'm going to have to go and get this album soon.

I just got home and took a real good look at this...This was amazing!! Her vocal runs were sick!! Like I said in my previous post, I just hope that Missy does not fuck with her by giving her something stupid to sing on her next CD. I think I am gonna order her CD tonight.

and this was when she was just ELEVEN! Did you see the breath control, comittment to note

That's some talent that knocked me off my feet.

Insofar as Missy being her guiding force, business is still business, after all. With things being so dire financially in the industry I wonder if it's possible at all for anyone to be individual, true to their talent, not be part of a ruinous machine maker once they're bonded by contract

This is the first thing that new singers should be shown. It is not very often that I get chills from watching a singer, but again, her vocal runs are SICK!! She has the voice control of a singer 2 her age,(at the time). WOW!!

TALENT at its best....Awesome clip and @ 11 years of age you can see a star emerging in this child.

I kind of dig the first single. Bust your windows ehh!
I like her vocal delivery on lions, tigers, and bears but the
lyrics seem strange or i might need to pay more attention.
I'll give it a listen.
