The Bots

My daughter asked me via facebook, “ Is there a way that we can trade J2 in for the the two little kids in the group, The Bots, because 1. they could get us money, and 2. they are so much cuter than him….consider it plz. THANK YOU!”

And I considered it.  Considered it hard.  They are just as cute as J2 and the food I feed them they’d definitely earn back with their enormous talent. 

Then I’d miss all the jokes I crack on wrestling at J2’s expense so I have to decline.

But if they are ever out Natti way I’d love to set up a playdate and be a Midwest mom to them.  Hopefully, as Midwest Mom they’d let me score some free tickets to their concert.  They probably won’t be coming my way for a while, but if you are out in LA check them out on Nov 13 as part of the AfroPunk tour.

Is She the Next Big Thing?

Gabi Wilson: The next big thing?

Disney is looking for the next big tween star and Gabi Wilson is hoping it’s her.

You have probably seen her on NBC’s Today show singing a rendition of an Alicia Keys song.  She has also appeared on Maury’s Talented Kids and Showtime at the Apollo.

You probably said, damn that kid is talented!  And she is.  Along with singing and playing the piano, she plays guitar and writes poetry.

And you probably said, wow, she’s looks Blasian.  Yep, dad is black and mom is Asian.

So you now you are probably saying,  I think she’s the next big thing, let me vote for her.

Well….

The first round of voting ended in early October but we get a second chance so mark your calendar to vote for her December 2-9.  In the meantime check out her page  and listen to her music on Radio Disney.
