Sorry if this has already been done but I saw this video on Facebook and thought I would share!

I actually think this little girl is quite talented, but it does rather smack of a pushy mum trying to make her 5 year old rich and famous.

And actually whilst writing this message I have just found the lyrics to this song.

Now I havent listened carefully to what the little girl is actually rapping but surely if she is talented her mother could try and get her to chanel her talent through other means?!

Let's hope she isn't singing those lyrics! Very inappropriate.

I think it could get old real quick!

Feminine · 11/10/2011 18:38

and now that I have checked the lyrics I am Shock

elesbells · 11/10/2011 18:40

there is a 'radio version' of that song....and I can't make out any swear words from the little girl....I think it's sweet

Feminine · 11/10/2011 18:45

Lets hope she sings the radio version then...Wink

Oh, and learns to move more like a 5 year old!

cuttingpicassostoenails · 11/10/2011 19:37

Yuk! whatever happened to "Chick, chick chick chicken"?

ScaredyDog · 11/10/2011 19:44

Vile.

mayorquimby · 11/10/2011 19:51

If you want an objective appraisal I think that it's an appalling impression of Nikki Minaj with little to no appeal.
Subjectively she's 5 so I wouldn't expect her to be brilliantly talented at rapping and she could probably find something she is talented at.

ChuffMuffin · 11/10/2011 20:06

Oh. She sang the n-word and everything Hmm. Way to go Mum. Hope you enjoy your 5 minutes of fame.

NoVeggiesBeforeSkeggies · 11/10/2011 20:06

She's got a good voice when she sings, but she's a 5 year old dressed in a little pink frilly dress- and rapped the 'n word' Shock

Inappropriate imo.

BatsUpMeNightie · 11/10/2011 20:08

I haven't looked at the clip and I wonder why anyone has - what could be more inappropriate? I despise mothers who live out their failed dreams through their poor children!

MumblingAndBloodyRagDoll · 11/10/2011 20:18

Very talented but sadly being led in the wrong direction. I wonder why the parents don't have her sing something more appropriate? Maybe it's a cold hearted attempt to garner more attention. Which is working.

I mean if the kid was singing "Tomorrow" or "My Favourite things" then she'd not get noticed.

TheOriginalNutcracker · 11/10/2011 20:33

I thought that was brilliant. Dd1 said she thinks she is singing the radio version.

Ghooooliuayelps · 12/10/2011 14:48

Cute, but the lyrics aren't really great for a kid of that age to be singing.

mrskeithlemon · 12/10/2011 14:52

I can not stand nicki minaj. My 5yo could write better songs than her. If you read the lyrics its just a load of old codswollop

Whatevertheweather · 12/10/2011 15:00

Holy moly I have now seen it all! The little girl does have a very powerful voice for a 5yr old and a very good memory for lyrics but what an inappropriate song Shock

On a side the the YouTube comments underneath make me want to tear my eyeballs out. Baybeee gurl Hmm

yesiAMwonderwoman · 12/10/2011 15:06

actually got bored half way through. thank god i've got ds not dd!

BrigitBigKnickers · 12/10/2011 16:04

Yuk sorry I can't abide seeing little kids singing stuff like this.

The rapping and the forced pop voice sound just ridiculous coming out of the mouth of a five year old.

mummyandpig · 12/10/2011 16:11

Ewww, regardless of the lyrics it's just gross and weird.

SpicyMeatball · 12/10/2011 16:38

Utterly shocking!
I also hate Nicki Minaj with a passion, i would be furious if my DD attempted to sing anything like that.

confusedpixie · 12/10/2011 17:44

I saw this on Hecklerspray last week. It also had this in the article:

"Just wait ?til Mumsnet get a load of it. They?ll piss great arcs of anger until the whole internet drowns in their fury."

It made me laugh Grin

But it's bloody awful really. I hate seeing kids singing lyrics like that, even if they don't understand what it means they shouldn't be encouraged!

confusedpixie · 12/10/2011 17:50

Thats not the original either, the original was posted by another user, this user is "superbassmom" which is quite clearly wrong considering this little girl is British... The original was posted by youtube user "sophiagracebrownlee" and there is another video as well.

The child is 8 apparently.

This is what the parents say on the youtube about the inappropriate lyrics:
"We understand that in the original version of "Super Bass" There is inappropiate words, Sophia has put in propiate words to get round this"

The kid also has twitter...

BunnyLebowski · 12/10/2011 17:56

What a wee pair of brats. Boke.
