Nine year old Willow Smith was snapped with mother Jada Pinkett today (September 25th) at the Emporio Armani Womenswear Spring/Summer 2011 fashion show.

The mini-diva, who recently wrapped the video for debut single ‘Whip My Hair’ with director Ray Kay, reportedly sat beside the son of French prime minister Nicholas Sarkozy.

Randomness: I can’t settle on whether I commend Will and Jada on honing their little one into a chartable artist at 9, or wince at the fact that she’s so young. In any case, we can’t wait to see the ‘Whip My Hair’ video…

Singer/songwriter Dominique from Houston, Texas is this week’s Cover Star. Here is her version of Etta James’ classic ‘All I Can Do Was Cry’ which was recently made popular again by Beyonce. See the performance below:

What made that rendition so powerful was the tone of Dominique’s voice. She has a robust, soulful quality to her vocals that is quite rare amongst the present generation of singers. Combine that with her conviction and confidence and I sense we have just witnessed a truly special talent.
