[WNanette]

Man, I would give a million dollars to hear this little one belt them out in the choir - she'd have all the adult robes sitting down! HA

You're the best, Nia!

(and I totally agree with welcometojaswood18's Momma's comment)

[samfunboy89]

Lol that was so precious!

[SpirAn1971]

She's gonna grow up and be a star! :D

[jennyvernet]

she is the cutest i love watching her sing

[cowboy95]

I like the part when she requests for some of the knifes to be taken out of her back, then turns her head around to make sure their gone. Great video... more to come I hope, made my day.

[welcometojaswood18]

My mom said that its good that you let your child listen to old school music instead of the junk that's out now!!! your daughter is so cute and interesting!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

[cgoldsmith]

That is such an honorable thing to hear. Thank you. The old school is the way to go.

[welcometojaswood18]

Your so welcome!!!

[scarbarb]

Nia is brilliant. she is a delight and very entertaining. keep up the excellant work

[justicelyric]

cgoldsmith, why don't u have this child auditioning for commercials or t.v shows??

[MKUltra3]

spare her

she's too good for that

[glenrich84]

class clown in the making...lol. at least she is singing the good stuff

[Volcomecutie12]

my grandfather is walter williams of the ojays and when i saw this i thought she was

soo cute i can't wait to tell

him about this she amazing keep up the good

work.

[cgoldsmith]

Are you kidding. Nia just loves the OJays...as I grew up with them. Please let me know what he thinks.

Earth, Wind and Fire saw her and allowed her to sing with them in Vegas that I posted on youtube. It is so nice that the old school artists are such a good influence on her.

Tell Mr. Williams we said hello and we love the music. May the Sound of Philadelphia remain forever. I have always loved the colaborative voices of Mr. Williams and Mr. Levert. It is magnificent.

--Nia's mom

[cgoldsmith]

I would also like for your to tell your grandfather this. I don't let Nia listen to a lot of the music out today because they are very inappropriate. Tell him thank you for singing music with a message that Nia can learn things from

Also, he had met Nia and me before about 3 years ago. He happened to be in the same hotel we were in when we were having a family reunion. Nia was about 3 yrs old at the time and he spoke to us. We were so excited. I doubt he remembers, but we do :)

[Wassernixxe]

cute :)

[TeMpThAnG]

so much feeling. so much attitude. so precious. so amazing. =)

[indymunda]

Nia , your fan club in the UK would love to see you perform your version of the INTRUDERS "I LL ALWAYS LOVE MY MAMMA " for your MUM, DEDICATED TO HER EFFORTS , poignant to everything the Ojays , Intruders ..SO MANY FAB. GROUPS OF THAT ERA - GAMBLE & HUFF, BELL , CREED achieved with great success - silky , luscious "butter sould melt in your mouth " , soul with lyrics that HIT THE VERY NERVE of our own lives .

[cgoldsmith]

I love that song as well. I cry everytime I hear that song...it is on my itunes. My mom died a long time ago (See Nia singing "Home" on youtube dedicated to a grandmother she never met) and it gets me choked up to hear that song. Good choice Indymunda.

[tennille1998]

I'm sorry about your loss. It's always very sad when we lose someone we love very much. Hopefully Nia will give you a lifetime supply of happiness!! She is very cute and adorable!! If I was told I'd have one like her, I'd quickly jump at the chance.

[tennille1998]

Maybe she'll grow up to be a professional singer. She's got the talent for it. Or perhaps she could do it now - that is if you want to start her in showbusiness at an early age. After all, Michael Jackson was just her age when first he started out.

[cgoldsmith]

Thank you. My mom died 10 yrs ago, so she never met Nia. But Nia talks about her and "feels" her soul as if she were still here. That is a comfort to me. Thank you so much.

[tennille1998]

You're welcome. I'm sure your Mom is watching Nia from heaven and even blessed her with her musical talent.  Your Mom is definitely living on inside Nia.

[tennille1998]

I understand that Nia is 5 years old. I have a niece that's 5.  I don't know if she sings, but I know she dances. She does ballet. Does Nia dance as well? Perhaps they will be good together. She can dance while Nia sings. When does Nia turn 6? My niece turns 6 on July 2nd.

[the1lique]

[indymunda]

The Whole World admires your talent Nia , you ve got a fab. MuM . Ive had great joy & pleasure going to TSOP 28/07/07 on our 1st visit to your GREAT NATION , listening to imports of late HAROLD MELVIN (RIP) disco/uptempo acoustic versions of the originals b4 he died , who in the musical vein of GAMBLE & HUFF sang 2 songs poignant like BACKSTABBERS - with the great MFSB orchestra ....

[sonciaa]

She literally IS a star. You have born precius;) Good luck! And when she'll be older - come to Poland, and give us concert of that amaizing little girl! ;)

[esmereldatitswallop]

Nia is just priceless! I have watched most of her videos now and she is simply amazing - still can't get over her peforming with EWF, what a memory to treasure.... :O)

[cgoldsmith]

Thank you. YOur user name sounds familiar.  Thank you for commenting nicely again.

[devans1817]

get down get down!

[dimplezs]

SO CUTE

[sjthorn]

Aww, this is adorable. My mother and I just can't stop watching these videos because she's so cute! I hope she continues to sing and dance; she'll be amazing!

[cgoldsmith]

You are so kind. Thank you very much.

[KoroOutbreak]

This kid is amazing.

[Jermhatespants]

What an awesome kid

[Cedarflame]

This great i saw it on a friends blog. She is going to grow up to be a neat adult I bet.

[msdash84]

too cute...can't wait to see how her voice develops in the future...either way she'll be a star...keep entertaining us baby gurl... : )

[pgteal]

That song is older than she is and sounds like she's been singing it for years.

[errrrm78]

Nia is a born entertainer. As her parents don't let her do anything else other than performance arts, as this is clearly what she was born to do. Best wishes.

[indymunda]

what can more can I SAY , thats not already been said by said by so many ... NIA is just packed with emotion , just like the opening orchestral (MFSB) , musical score opening piano, cha cha bass , with violin strings " bang ! WHAT THEY DO - THEY SMILE IN YOUR FACE , did GAMBLE & HUFF & THEOJAYS realise 35 YEARS LATER a young girl WOULD hit us with the same impact as they did ! love to hear NIA sing THE LUV I LOST - late H.MELVIN

[cgoldsmith]

As always, Indymunda, you are the best. I am glad your trip to the states went well.

[indymunda]

your a FAB person just like NIA - in what is a cynical world , with great suffering . ONE THING THAT BRINGS GREAT WARMTH & COMPASSION IS " SOUL " R & B my total admiration for a musical intepretation of life form , in my my opinion transcends other musical forms/taste " THE SOUL OF A MAN " .. the music has to why we exist , do what we do - TOP STUFF ! BEST WISHES FROM THE U.K .

[YarBaby]

i've just recently been introduced to this young lady, and i must say she is growing nicely.......cgoldsmith, keep up the good work!

[cgoldsmith]

I really appreciate your kind words. Thank you so much. I am her mother.

[cgoldsmith]

YOu are so kind. Thank you very much.

[indymunda]

[brieher]

Nia, I think you are great. I know that you will continue to do great things in life, I wish you all the best with your present and future career.
