It's the absurd and brilliant new Willow Smith video

  • March 7, 2011
  • Popjustice

Ladies and gentlemen: '21st Century Girl':

[youtube]AfuHSJqqgAo[/youtube] She is the type of chick who likes to rock the beat. Don't forget that. 

Best bits:
1. The "ride" dance routine thing with the hand. 
2. The appear­ance of wolves. Very on trend. 
3. The lack of obvious product placement. 
4. The bit at 3.31 whn you realise the video is going to end up being set in the middle of a city and it all gets EXTREMELY EXCITING.
5. The yellow boots are quite nice too. 
6. The bit at 4:25 where she stands next to a very young person in order to make herself look older, a bit like standing next to a fat person to make yourself look thinner.

What a properly amazing video. Well done everyone.
