With over 10 million followers across her Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts, the 17-year-old triple threat seems to be everyone’s dashing darling. While the Oakland native is multi-talented, it was her single “Replay” that not only put her on our radar, but the radar of the other 45 million+ viewers that watched the fab video on YouTube. And yikes, where do you even start with “Replay”? The song’s a pop masterpiece with a great, glitchy 8-bit video game sounding bridge that jumps right into an unstoppable arenasized chorus. And her dancing in the music video? She may be a youngster, but her moves are totes on par with the greats like Ciara, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga. I S S U E T WO Given she’s already performed at the White House, released a book, started a clothing line, and come off a three year run starring as Rocky Blue in the television series Shake It Up, Zendaya sure has wings and is flying high. And given the looks, nail art and fashion she shares on her Instagram, we just can’t get enough of this West Coast wonder! Don’t sleep on her other track “Fireflies” either, it’s the bomb!
