The runaways were the first all girl rockband and aside from Janis Joplin they were the first girl rockstars. They sang songs like Cherry Bomb and I love playin with fire. After they broke up Joan Jett started Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and she sang I love Rock n' Roll, Bad Reputation, and I Hate Myself for Loving you. The Runaways started in 1975 when Cherie Currie (the far left) and Joan Jett (in the red outfit) were only 15. About a year later when they were 16 they were very famous, especially in Japan. I was wondering what you thought about child stars? are they good? are they bad? should they wait until they are older and finish school first? Michael Jackson was only 5 when he started singing with the jackson 5, Justin bieber was only 15 when he started and Willow Smith sang Whip My Hair when she was 9. They all got mixed reactions when they started but some of them are really famous now. What do you think?
I think 15 is an okay age to enter the music industry but 9 is just too young. Willow Smith should enjoy her time being young and a child instead of hurrying to become famous. Honestly, I don't want to spend time listening to a nine-year old sing about whipping her hair around. She may think being on TV and making music is fun and cool but it's weird to see a kid pretending to be a famous singer.
