Since Sophia and her 5-year cousin/hype-girl Rosie uploaded their adorable “Super Bass” cover onto YouTube two weeks ago, it has received (as of this writing) more than 3.3 million views. And it even caught the attention of Nicki herself, who excitedly tweeted: “I HAVE to meet her. She is a SUPERSTAR!!! Like did u hear how she sang the bridge? The attitude? OMG!”
And Nicki is right–when Sophia gets to the bridge of the song, she belts it out with surprising force (right on key, no Auto-Tune necessary) and tons of divalicious flair.
The video has also caught the attention of new fan Ellen DeGeneres, so it’s possible that Sophia is about to follow in the footsteps of Greyson Chance, who was plucked from YouTube obscurity and turned into a star by Ellen last year. Sophia and Rosie will appear on Ellen’s show Thursday, along with the much older Glen Campbell.
Watch her below singing Keri Hilson’s hit song.
