Rap-Up.com || Sophia Grace and Rosie Perform Nicki Minaj’s ‘Starships’ on ‘Ellen’

Sophia Grace and Rosie won the hearts of millions of Americans including Nicki Minaj with their viral cover of “Super Bass.” Now the adorable British duo is back! Nine-year-old Sophia held down vocals and her cousin Rosie busted out some new moves while performing “Starships” on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

In a recent interview with “Nightline,” Nicki said that she keeps Sophia in mind when recording some of her songs. “We have a running joke. Can Sophia Grace sing that?” she laughed.

Check out their fearless performance below.

Now. I am all for positive energy and things that make me smile, yet let’s all think critically about these young girls.
Why are they getting so much recognition? To promote Nicki? Would this “praise” be the case if the young girls had an ethnic background? If they had an ethic background, would their talent be perceived as “talent” or non-sense? Is this cute because it’s two British girls or more?

However you answer the question, just think about it.

Weird double standard .. Its okay to insult adults appearances, but with a child is somehow totally irresponsible..

I would say bashing ANYONE for their appearance alone is pathetic.. and who cares really.
