| Willow – Whip My Hair Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Considering that there are many ten year-olds in the world, and still a fair few in her home country, who cannot have an education because of their poverty, this is depressing. There are so many more kids who will never get these opportunities, and they will have to work for anything they can get by themselves- they don't have generous, rich parents with influential friends to write their songs for them. That isn't Willow's fault, so I'm not picking on her, just criticising this disgusting inequality. It's actually very rare for a musically talented kid to be able to write decent songs- many of them have to be at least seventeen before they've experienced and matured enough to come up with something empathic and meaningful, or at least fun and properly entertaining. This is probably why people can't stand those like Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus- they haven't suffered like other people have. There are exceptions to the rule, but seeing that Willow has only made a song about 'whipping her hair' and doesn't actually do much singing in it, she isn't one of them. I'm not picking on her: she just needs to perfect her craft before another release if she really wants a serious musical career. And donate some of the profits to improving things for poor American kids while she's at it. |
