12979045, 1st time ive seen someone praised for *not* getting quality acting roles.
Posted by Reeq, Thu Feb-25-16 07:09 PM
nice spin.
|
12979073, she's 19. Quality roles? Like? What she miss out on?
Posted by Basaglia, Thu Feb-25-16 08:17 PM
she don't want zoe kravitz wack ass role in dope.
she don't wanna be "the black girl" on scream queens. keke needed that joint.
i just don't know what she's supposed to be doing to qualify for your "made it" list of black female celebs.
|
12979079, you brought up acting roles. not me.
Posted by Reeq, Thu Feb-25-16 08:27 PM
good to see you mention some of those "99% of black actresses"
that are actually getting roles tho.
|
12979040, Yup.

12979042, I see her all over social media but have no idea what she does
Posted by Hitokiri, Thu Feb-25-16 07:04 PM
I've had to google her a few times. And it never stuck with me.
Never heard a song of hers.
How did she get the spotlight she has?
|

12979248, Her Disney sitcom K.C. Undercover is still going
Posted by bigkarma, Fri Feb-26-16 09:01 AM
I have an 11-year-old son who appears to have his hormone beginning to stir behind Zendaya.

Oh wow, the youth have it quite lucky. I only know of her from that Blackish episode and only know of her name as result of the post you're responding to. I don't know how I would respond as a if I got to gander at her on a regular, much less on a TV show marketed towards children.
Based on that episode of Blackish, she appears to be a bit grown for Disney, but then again Raven Symone had a hit Disney show for years and had quite the adult body, so what do I know.

12979096, No. I BEEN calling her the American Rita Ora.
Posted by PROMO, Thu Feb-25-16 09:01 PM
They keep trying, but it's not gonna happen.
|
12979219, Fam, I came here to say something similar.
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Fri Feb-26-16 01:54 AM
I don't know either of their work.
|
12979214, Her debut album was criminally slept on.
Posted by Seven, Fri Feb-26-16 01:09 AM
|
12979216, Purple. Doesn't matter. She could retire today
Posted by ndibs, Fri Feb-26-16 01:15 AM
On the money she's made.
I think she will be difficult to put in movies, she's about 6'1 or 6'5 with heels.
Unless they have her playing opposite of Ashton kutcher or someone.
|
12979225, Tom Cruise is like 4'11" and they make it work
Posted by RobOne4, Fri Feb-26-16 03:38 AM
her height aint a problem just like his isn't
|
12979243, Tom Cruise has star power tho...
Posted by legsdiamond, Fri Feb-26-16 08:39 AM

12979258, Not at first tho
Posted by ThaAnthology, Fri Feb-26-16 09:14 AM
Risky Business could have flopped really badly.
|
12979362, Studios PREFER short actors tho...

12979220, When I saw her with ODB marked the 1st time I used the word "ruse".
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Fri Feb-26-16 01:57 AM

12979330, wait, what?? you saw her with Ol Dirty Bastard?? was she like 8 years old?

O Dell Beckham... ODB get it....

12979253, The question is will she try to sex it up.
Posted by bigkarma, Fri Feb-26-16 09:08 AM
That appears to be the formula. Right now she is still firmly in that Disney lane, which is a lucrative lane to be in, but she's soon to age out.
So, does she make the move that her predecessors like Brittany, Christina, Selena, Arianna...etc...etc. have made by either making a sexed up album or appearing in a sexed up movie role to break free of the kid's zone?
|
12979254, Something New sounds too much like Creep to me.
Posted by lightworks, Fri Feb-26-16 09:10 AM
I know that's the point but it just makes me wanna listen to Creep not more of Z's song.
Maybe the young kids like it though
|
12979255, It feels like one awkward marketing push
Posted by BigReg, Fri Feb-26-16 09:10 AM
I was confused her popping out of nowhere on Blackish, then suddenly I realized she was everywhere...I just didn't notice.
While Ill never knock a man's hustle, and she could be talented, it just seems like a cynical post Kardasian* branding campaign then someone who wants a serious career in the arts...
*obviously without the sexualization. People kind of just throw shade at that family because they feel that they got huge off Kim's literal assets, but there are thousands of people selling sex in Hollywood..there was a cynical branding push there over the years that's fascinating. that people don't factor
|
12981148, its funny you mention the sex push with her
Posted by RobOne4, Wed Mar-02-16 05:33 AM
her co star Bella Thorne on Shake It Up which was on the Disney Channel has been getting a ton of roles. Popping up every where. I know she was in the Duff movie and the Scream TV series. But every time I see her she is in a super tight dress or a bikini. I think she barely turned 18. Even her IG account is pretty bad. Zendaya's people are probably taking notes from her.
|
12979344, Odell look like a grown ass man with big hands and zendaya look like a kid

12979494, In order for her to really pop off..
Posted by TR808, Fri Feb-26-16 01:51 PM
She will need to have her phone hacked and nude photos of her pop up on the internet....
Or a leaked sex tape....
Or a major nipple slip at an awards show...
|
13404337, SMH...I think about this thread every time she levels up even more.
Posted by Basaglia, Mon Sep-21-20 10:23 AM
In 20 years, this thread gon be like hatin on Prince in 1979 after "his lil disco hit" talmbout "they tryna make him happen."
|
