Willow Smith Performs at The 2019 EMA Honors Benefit Gala

[@minervaminavera2347]

No parents are perfect. Good thoughtfulness Parents do what they think is best. They were both under the same roof raising their children. like you all and def correct me if I’m wrong, we don’t know this family besides what we see in the media and to me, it shows like they supported them in the endeavors and decisions. For example I didn’t hear another song from Willow until a few years. Like all families, sure there were bad times but I’m also sure there were good times. Im assuming they had a better upbringing and support system than most kids in this country considering the family they were born in. Unlike most privileged offsprings they are using their notary to bring awareness to issues and they aren’t just tweeting about it but they are actually doing something about ie google jade and skid row. Plus they are trying to warm their money by working

@Lucky Sport Yes, he did . But it took three albums before he found his way. I know that for sure. Once he found his funk,he was just growing like her. In fact Willow already found her groove. Today companies don't have patience.

[@garfieldharrison510]

@Lucky Sport I understand . Your ears are circuited to hear the mundane top 40. She is not trying to be top 40. Actually trying to swim in the water's of life. Being audacious with chromatics and sonics she relates too.. She's on the verge of something. Thank God!.

I’m in my 50s but am deeply impressed with the amazing artistry of this young woman still in her teens. Some of her live music reminds me of some of the best of the Dave Matthews Band and makes me wish the two artists would collaborate on something. The moods of a couple of Willow’s songs also bring to mind my favorite Jason Mraz piece, “Tonight, Not Again.” It’s the kind of music that makes you feel like you’ve been let in on the musician’s private meditations or their communion with their own spirits: lovely, ethereal, haunting and unforgettable.

That's what life's about, that's why it's worth living -- just stay alive, you'll see -- it gets interesting, lovely, and sometimes sad ... but, ahhhh! the possibilities! Thanks Willow -- truly enjoyed!
