Essay for a mag
This is what I am going to submit to a magazine who is looking for reader-editors, and asked us to write a 400-word essay...hehehe. I'm excited.
Worthy heirs for the title of ‘Teen Queen’.
The once-reigning teen queens are fast growing and moving on from their labels-stars like Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan and Keira Knightley. It is only natural that people start looking for a new batch of teen queens worthy enough to fill the shoes of their predecessors. Let's take a look at this slew of young talents whom we have handpicked and examine what they have to offer.
Candidate number one is Emma Roberts. Seeing as the 16-year-old is currently fronting a movie, Nancy Drew, Emma surely must have something good to offer! Previously acting alongside actor Johnny Depp in Blow when she was just ten and then having a considerable role in the teen flick Aquamarine, Emma now comfortably holds her own fort in Nancy Drew. We just have to hold our breaths to see if Nancy Drew will rake in the profits at the box-office. If it does, movie executives will know they have a star on their hands and we’ll be sure to see more of her. If her movie flops, she can always use the old trick in the book, her connections. Dad's a longtime actor and aunty’s the famous Julia Roberts herself. Or, Emma can have a go at singing, seeing as she contributed to a soundtrack for the movie Ice Princess. So we are pretty sure Emma will hang around no matter what happens. Of course, we like Emma as she is already, just from watching Aquamarine in which she played the bubbly friend role -and she said that role was too easy for her.
Candidate number two is Vanessa Hudgens, otherwise known as Baby V in her songs. This 18-year-old Eurasian (mum’s Filipino-Chinese-Spanish, dad’s Irish-American Indian) star started out doing musicals such as Evita and The King and I. This multi-talented girl then scored the lead in the made-for-TV Disney movie-musical, High School Musical. The movie was such a hit that two more sequels are in the works. Furthermore, the soundtrack album for the telemovie, which Vanessa sang on, was number one on the album charts. Vanessa went on to record her debut album, V, in just under two months. Her album was warmly received, debuting at #24 on the US Billboard album chart. We predict it is only time before Vanessa moves on to bigger things like starring in movies, and taking the same route as Hilary Duff, a former Disney star, did.
Candidate number three is American drama, Heroes’ breakout star, Hayden Panettiere. Acting for many years as Lizzie Spaulding on the US daytime drama, The Guiding Light, Hayden also appeared in considerable episodes of Ally Mcbeal. When she was just nine, Hayden voiced the character Dot in the animated movie, A Bug’s Life. For that movie’s Read-Along, she was nominated for a Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album for Children. She then acted in a various movies like Remember the Titans-alongside Denzel Washington, Racing Stripes, Ice Princess and Raising Helen. Acting in the hit NBC’s Heroes catapulted Hayden to long-overdue recognition for her acting skills, and a sign of more things to come. This 17-year-old sings too, releasing a debut album in July and previously singing in soundtracks for the movies Ice Princess and Bridge to Terabithia. We think this star can only get brighter.
Candidate number four is Joanna Levesque, otherwise known as Jojo in the music scene. Where do we start? This pop sensation was offered a record deal at the age of 6 but her mother turned it down due to her young age. With her incredible singing talent, she did not have to worry as she was again offered a recording deal when she was 12-and which she wisely accepted. The rest is history. She finished recording her debut album-on which she wrote three songs and started touring with the prince of R‘n’B, Usher Raymond, before releasing her single, Leave (get out). That number one song made her the youngest solo artist in America to achieve this feat. This16-year-old girl of French, Irish, American Indian and Polish blood have started trying to break into the acting scene, scoring a lead in Aquamarine with Emma Roberts and acting alongside Robin Williams in RV. We say she is a star to look out for.
PS: I wanted to include singer/actress Brie Larson but it's way over my word limit already...check her out performing:
