Willow Smith Performs New Single 'Fireball' on Thursday Night's 'The X Factor'

Willow Smith Performs New Single 'Fireball' on Thursday Night's 'The X Factor' Has anybody missed "Whip My Hair" being all over every Top-40 stop on the FM dial?

If so, your 11/11/11 wish just came true.

Willow Smith stopped by the Thursday night's "The X Factor" and she came bearing gifts: her newest single, "Fireball." It's a collaboration between the young could-be pop star and rapper Nicki Minaj, and to Will Smith's progeny's credit - well, it sounds (by even her own admission) a lot like "Whip My Hair." It has a similar beat, similar flow and will probably appeal just as much to people who loved "Whip My Hair."

For what it's worth, any exposure Willow can get will help her out, not to mention her famous dad: Will announced Jan. 11 that he plans on producing a film based on the comic strip "Little Orphan Annie" starring his daughter, with music by Willow's Roc Nation Records boss Jay-Z.

Smith has already starred in "I Am Legend" alongside her father and also performed in 2008's "Kitt Kittredge: An American Girl."
