doesn't really make sense. Randomness to be random.

That guy's strong.
- They were doing the flips. It looked kind of cool.
- I just really like the dancing. - The choreography is good.
I didn't really enjoy the music. I don't know. It's just not my style.

- I liked it better than the others. - The other ones, it was just
a lot of completely different things. This one was more in a story.
- They're very similar in styles of music,
but not the music videos themselves. I think they've really improved
in the effects. - (FBE) So, we have one more video
to show you. But do you remember the kid from the first music video?
Well, she's actually all grown up now, and she recently got to perform
that same song for an award show that went viral on Twitter.
So, we're gonna show you that now. - Oh, wow.

- I love her songs. - These performances are probably
cooler than the music videos. - It's so cool that she, like,
combined almost every single song that she's did into, like,
a two-minute routine. - That was actually pretty cool.
I like that one. I like the background.
The background was pretty cool. - That had a big audience.
I want an award. Can I go to the Oscars?

- (FBE) So, that was the music artist Missy Elliot.
Have you heard that name before? - No.
- No. I've only heard her music. - (FBE) Missy has been making music
since 1997. - Oh, wow.
- (FBE) She has had a music career for over 20 years.
- 20 years, whoa. - That's older than my mom.
(ding) - (FBE) So, had you heard
of Missy Elliott before today? - Yeah. Her music's everywhere.
You can just search up Missy Elliott and one of the songs from 1999
or something like that pops up the first thing.
- I knew she was a singer and she had good music,
but I didn't really know which songs were hers
and know everything about her. - I'm not surprised that I've heard
the songs before, but I'm definitely surprised
that I've never heard of her before. - (FBE) Missy Elliott is known
for her odd music videos that take you on an adventure
with wild visuals and well-choreographed dancing.
- They are wild. It can get a checkpoint for wild,
a checkpoint for good editing, and a checkpoint for good music.
- (FBE) From what you just watched, what did you think about
Missy Elliott's music and videos? - I guess the effects
were pretty cool. It's either really wacky
or it's telling a story. - It's very weird. (chuckles)
It's very weird.
- It's kind of like different music, because what I listen to
is kind of like Kidz Bops kids. - She seems like she kind of
knows what she wants to do with her music.
I feel like she knows like, "Okay, I want this to happen,
and this is what's gonna happen." - It looks like she doesn't care
if people think she's weird or not. She just went for it.
- (FBE) So, in an interview, Missy Elliott explained that she knew
she wanted to be a superstar for the rest of her life
since she was in kindergarten... - Oh my gosh.
Checkpoint for being a good person and knowing their dreams. (claps)
- (FBE) ...telling reporters that she thinks this is why
adults have to listen to kids, because sometimes they know
what they want and will remember it from a very young age.
Do you agree? - Yes. I agree so much.
- Yeah, because sometimes I'm right. - I agree, 'cause KIDS RULE!
- (FBE) What did you wanna be when you were in kindergarten?
- At that time, I wanted to be a chef. I don't cook many things,
but I do cook sometimes. Now I wanna be an actress,
but I remember my need to be a chef when I was little.
- Digging for probably dinosaur bones. My favorite dinosaur is a T-rex
and a long-neck. They were like the size of the room
and their neck would be taller than the building.
- An animal scientist, because I like animals.
- At first, I wanted to be a veterinarian,
but I realized how sad it would be, because sometimes animals might die,
and I get really emotional. - I wanted to be a makeup artist.
My sister is an artist too, so I wanna be like her.
- (various) Aww! - (child) Cute!
- One of my favorite artists is David Bowie.
And when I was in kindergarten, I said I wanted to be
an astronaut rock star on the moon. - When I was in kindergar--
well, first or second grade, I've always wanted to be on Broadway,
and I've always wanted to go audition for things,
and now I'm doing that. - At that time, I was just like,
"I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do and then I'll figure it out later."
- Maybe when I was in kindergarten, I wasn't thinking to my full potential.
- (FBE) What do you think you wanna be now?
- I wanna be... not poor.
- (FBE) So finally, Missy Elliott has been around for a while,
but if you had the chance to talk to her,
what advice would you give her about her music career?
- I think I would say that you're amazing at singing
and like she looks beautiful. - Maybe like she's
a really good singer. - I think she should keep going,
because that's just good. - If she likes what she's doing,
then I'd tell her to keep on going with what she's doing.
- I want her to keep doing her own thing,
because... it is just cool. - You should create what
you wanna create and don't try to keep
the style that you had just to maintain popularity.
- Bring back some bangers like I know you will
and keep going and thriving like you already are.
- Keep doing what you're doing, girl. You know I love it. It's so unique.
And don't change who you are, because if you change who you are,
you're gonna be like everybody else and I love that you're not
and it's so cool. It inspires me to be
who I am today. Love you.
