I decided to do a little spin on this week’s theme, which is child stars. Again, I’ll be featuring female artists for Women’s History Month.

My picks weren’t child stars although they should have been. My first pick, in particular, sent more chills up my spine with her sent-from-heaven voice at 11 than she does now at 22. Not surprising when you were singing with Stevie Wonder at age 13.

Watch Jazmine Sullivan singing “Home” in her elementary school production of The Wiz followed by her appearance on Showtime at The Apollo where completely destroyed me with “Accept What God Allows.”

Finally, for some reason, Babygirl has been on my mind this week…and in my iPod. Check out a clip of Aaliyah performing on Star Search.

Be sure to visit the other OSF participants picks for the week.

Enjoy your weekend!
