Sophia Grace Brownlee

This is another youtube-ish post. Kinda. Not really.

But for those of you who know Sophia Grace Brownlee, I have heard that she is going to star alongside the likes of Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp and Anna Kendrick in a new film called "Into the Woods".

I just want to point out that she's kind really overrated.

I mean, no hate or anything, but I'm not sure that she can act. I heard that she was in a few episodes of 'Sam and Cat', but thats about it. Um...

For those of you who don't know who SGB is, she is a 10 (i think) year old girl who wears pink princess dresses and got famous after singing 'Super Bass' by Nicki Minaj on youtube. Yeah. She's that kinda girl. ( Of course, she did get a little help from Ellen Degeneres to meet some of her A-list buddies, like Nicki Minaj herself.) Watch her video here.

I get that she's a good singer and all (I'm not too much of a fan) but I don't understand how she, of all people will play Little Red Riding Hood in the movie (which I've heard has some inappropriate content for a 10 year old). If she was about,  I don't know, 13 or something I'd think this was ok given she'd have acting lessons, voice lessons and maturity. But 10? Too young.

Here are some lyrics from a song she will be singing in:

Think of that scrumptious carnality
Twice in one day-!
There's no possible way
To describe what you feel
When you're talking to your meal.

Carnality, according to the Mac dictionary means 'Relating to physical needs, esp. sexual needs and activities. C'mon, this girl is freaking 10. 

A few years ago my friends wanted to audition for this role, but the person had to be 18+ to get the role. And this was just for a small community musical. 

You can see why I think this is wrong. So very wrong. 

Personally, I am excited about this movie because is has Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp and Anna Kendrick (Today is actually her birthday in NZ time, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNA) and they are really great actors. Really great. But I'm skeptical about Sophia. Hopefully she doesn't take the Lindsay/Amanda route and takes the Hilary route instead. But oh well. We'll have to see. Maybe my opinion will change after watching the movie. I don't know.

I'm feeling so rant-y today. LOL
