When Mamarazzi first heard that Jay-Z was re-making the musical "Annie", we knew he'd find a brilliant young talent to sing about the miseries of poverty and mistreatment; someone who could knock our Louboutins off by singing "Instead of kisses, we get kicks" in the song "It's a Hard Knocks Life".
So naturally, he chose Will Smith's daughter, Willow, for the title role. After all, who knows more about hardship than a mega-rich, mega-privileged show biz kid who doesn't even have to go to school?
Now, remember "Whip My Hair"? We think Willow's cute, sassy, and talented, but we also think that she seriously needed the autotune.
Anyhoo, Willow may not even need to sing: She'll possibly rap the role, just like Jay-Z did back in 1999 with "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)".
No doubt Jay-Z and (surprise!) collaborator Will Smith will update and modify their version of "Annie" but we'd sure like to giggle at Willow doing old school gangsta rap. But no matter how she does "Annie", we suspect she'll suffer majah embarrassment.
We say, drop Jay-Z and Willow and just have Will Smith play the appropriate role of Daddy Warbucks.
