She didn’t care if they were keeping up or not. She was just doing her thing. 🤣
Yesss 🤭🤣😅
Yes!❤ I love her.🎉
Too grown!
And was 😂❤
Well, my name is Tyrone Carr and I'm a big fan of the Jenifer Hudson Show and I was just watching that show on May the 13th with the little girl and Niecey Nash And Jenifer Hudson And It Was So Very Darn Quiet! And on a different note I would like to say something to Ms. Hudson, I have reached out to your representative team in the past before about my story and the struggles that I went through and how Jesus Christ brought me through and delivered me from addiction and took me away from homelessness as well living in different States as well Miami Florida and Abilene TX where I'm now resididing right now but I'm now living in my own one bedroom apartment and I'm very blessed and I've been sober for over 11 years Thank You Jesus! I Surrendered My Life To Jesus Christ In 2016 When I went to a program in Multrie GA. Called Turning Point! And it just so happened to be the place and point where I made the choice to surrender my life to Jesus Christ and turned my heart over to him and gave it all to him Jesus Christ and left It all, everything at his feet, AMEN! And That's Why I'm Asking MS. Hudson For A Chance To Tell My Story On Television And Their 's A Little More About My Sister And Mother That I Would Also Like To Share With Her, But Will Definitely Discuss This At A Later Date And Time Okay! Thank You Very Much For Taking The Time To Read My Story And Have A Blessed Day Sincerely Tyrone Carr
Some of these children have been here on Earth before! Ms. Shirley is some of these children!! LOL 😅
Absolutely an ancestor
THANK YOU!!! WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS SOMEONE ELSE IN THAT LITTLE BODY AND WE LOVE IT
Yes ma’am she is definitely an ancestor!!!
She seems to have an old soul! She is adorable and dances so well
Yessss! Remember the elders saying that? 😅🥰
May God protect this child
Exactly!
You have no idea. There is so much controversy going on over this. Protection from every ADULT her mother puts in her life.
Too late
I have a strong feeling in my heart her mama would die for her daughter! Idc, she is protected, she is loved and I know she is well taken care of. You can tell she is smart and intelligent. Her mama ain’t no dummy.
@sophine7189being no dummy doesn’t equate to having morals. Money over morals is ok when you aren’t using a child for profit and that child is using adult language and acting like an adult. There are many sickos out there.
I feel like Ms Shirley was the only one who REALLY knew the dance!!!!
Right ❤
😂😂😂
She was ! Lol
😂
Jennifer & neicy was in lil mama's way..🤪
Ms. Shirley taking interviews now?? Keep going girl !!❤
Ok I'm a proud Auntie over here
@@shawnmccree8613Me too! 😘
❤
Smh 😢 lost fools this is a child!
Pump the brakes baby girl!! It's slippery down that slope!!
Showing baby Shirley on a talk show really made me think how far they would go to boost up their ratings by promoting this four year-old shaking her butt.
they don't like hearing this
this. the zoom ins too, like just say you’re catering to pdfs and we can all be done with it
@@jules6578
That Part There.
It's not about that. Stay focused. She is baby and her rmother is encouraging her possible God given talent. Let's pray she uses it wisely if she pursues dance. I rather see her do this type of dance then some of those skank dances we teach our kids aka the twerk. Line dance is an art no different than any of the Shuffle dances we do at weddings. If you can't celebrate and elvevate then vacate💁♀
@@onenightwithkingjesus god does not save or protect children from predators--especially in holy places! this mother is parading her child around dancing to inappropriate music and dances, you people entertain and fund it.
Wow, this little girl is really moving to be her age! Can we say how good Niecy looks in that red dress and that red hat.
Niecy looks incREDible!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Right. I said, "WOW"! as soon as I saw her. Like, okay red!
❤❤Yes we can👏🏾👏🏾.😊😊🪭🪭👢👢
Yes Niecy does!!
Niecy looks real good in that dress but that little girl is going to grow up being fast as hell I'm just sorry but I don't condone this type of behavior for this child and throwing your hips and shaking and twerking it is not good and y'all condoning this shame on y'all
She is one of the prettiest kids I’ve ever seen
She's So Stinkin Cute 😍
She needs to learn something other than that grown folks stuff.
Isn’t she! ❤
@@charlottemorrowand how do you know she doesn’t ??? She can know that AND other things at the same time. You really need to shut up
Beautiful lil sister 🌹☺️
Please protect this child. This day and age, it's way too many weirdos out here
Imagine calling a 4 year old a werido she a kid bro hop off...
@@itsyourbestiereneehe’s saying that she needs to be protected from weirdos, not that she is one
@aubreysglowuptips oh
@@itsyourbestierenee how dumb and naïve can you be?😂
@@johnbonner2344 who aked for your opinion?
This baby has more rythym than I’ve had all of my 57 years. Just adorable n talented🩷🩷🩷🩷
I’m the same age and I agree 😂😂😂😂😂😂
When choreographers say "use the space" this is what they mean
Yesss. The way I just giggled!!😂😊
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Yess
This is a perverted song and dance about hitting it from the back. What have this world come to?
This little girl made my day! The confidence at 4yrs old is oozing out of her skin. 😂❤
She is adorable. Love her little country twang too. What a blessing for the "Happy Place."
“That's me”” she makes me smile so BIGGGG!!! Its the confidence for me 💅🏾🤌🏾
Me too
She’s so cute 😊😊😊 but I still think this dance is to grown for her.
That's not her problem. It's grown ups projecting their issues on her. She's only a kid doing a dance & having fun. She's not sliding on the ground, but she has a mother, an active father, & if THEY are ok with it, then no one else should have a say
It is. People talk so down on Hollywood but cheerleading in the comment section.
@@yvonnegarnerbecause every parent is a good parent and no one has ever exploited a child b4
You look around my age & when we did the butt popping dances before twerking was a thing and before us there were kids doing the same dances they did freaknik dances and no one batted an eye bc it was apart of the culture…her popping her hip for 2 secs definitely DOESNT equate to grown…she’s clearly a little girl
Guessing you mean the stanky leg part when she pops the fan🤷🏾♀️ Maybe, but it's a line dance and her mother is monitoring her, I can tell.
She is adorable, a dancer and entrepreneur. She told Jennifer she needed to go to the store and buy herself a Ms. Shirley fan. Look how she advertised her Ms Shirley fan business. With the help of The Almighty, she will do great things. She is already business minded. Dancing is opening doors for this innocent and precious young lady.
AMEN 🙏🏾
That part... the (un)SHAMELESS PLUG took me out!!!❤❤❤😂
🎉🎉🎉
She said go get you a Ms. Shirley Fan! Her mama better get on that quick! 🎉
Yes she is
Ms.Shirley shut the stage down!!!! You betta step baby❤
Please protect this child from these weirdo’s and creeps 😢
I'm here for Ms. SHIRLEY 🥰🌸🔥💅🏾 She ate as always 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Yassss internet niece... So proud of my girl 💃🏾
Just sitting here surfing the web and came across this little girl dancing. Think you for putting a smile on my face Miss Shirley 🤠
The way she gave herself some space was everything... get it ms.shirley
Her little self 😍 was stepping. Niecy looks good in red😊
It’s pink get your eyes checked
@@Saramars-g7fNiecy's outfit is 100% red
What a gorgeous little girl 💕💕
Mom saying when she was a baby… she’s still a baby 😅
That's exactly what I said 😂
But her soul is not
Exactly!! She said it multiple times, and every time, it made me say, "She is still a baby"
😂😂😂😂 lol my thoughts exactly
Mom meant when she was a toddler, now she's a preschooler.
Miss Shirley is too cute!! She got her groove and I love that. Neice did great in keeping up with miss shirley
That baby has an old soul. I love her confidence. I pray she continues to shine with that beautiful spirit and confidence. Gone Miss Shirley❤
She doesn't have an old soul , she just learned from her family and paid attention
@@Perfectly_Imperfect6fter St Elizabeth Farming
God protect this baby at all time in Jesus name Amen to enjoy life an to have fun while she a toddler Amen u go girl love that out fir its Sharp u got ur move down pack an ur on beat an on time wow holla Ms. Shirley
She has to grow up fast of her mom intends for her to make it in the entertainment industry. 💰

She said Miss Shirley hunny 😂😂 she would keep me laughing 🤣
Exactly! She been here before.
Yes, Honey! Yes!
‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
PERIODT!!!!!!! Toooo cute🥰🦋✌🏽
I thought they called her Ms Shirley cause she has an old soul lol. That child has definitely been here before. And I didn't know they have Ms Shirley fans! I might have to get me one or two cause none of my fans are that big. I've been wanting to find one
Yeah, kind of did.
She's a little beautiful and talented angel, love Miss Shirley and continuous blessings to her, her mom and family ❤
Ms.Shirley ❤ has a her own Hair Care business too! We Love her.

🎉🎉🎉yasss
Ms. Shirley isn’t missing a beat.. She’s a very talented lil girl & has so much rhythm..Love to see her dance 🥰.. I smile every time I see her..😊
Oh My God!!! This is cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Miss Shirley is everything ✨⭐️✨
She's an old soul right there. she definitely been here before
😅a
You ain't never lie🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Give her credit. She's smart and intelligent. She ain't been here before and that's what makes her great. You people and this old soul bs is getting old
I love Ms. Shirley, she an adorable little girl. I’ve danced since I’ve been out my mother’s womb, nasty people judged but if you love dancing nothing will stop you. I hope this baby dances until she doesn’t want to do it anymore. Mom continue to love on your baby and encourage her gifts!!! 🙏🏼
I don’t understand how this little girl gets so much hate on the innanet when she’s so cute and just dancing innocently. Love me some Ms Shirley ❤ Keep stepping baby! Mom ur doing a great job promoting her! 👏🏽
Hate??? Who is hating her??
@@Auntie7077shes just being extra. Nobody is “hating”. Ppl are just saying some of the moves are a bit sexualized for such a lil girl
5:10 for reference.
@@DaintyAbbyPeople are sexualizing her, she's an innocent child...smh
I think some are concerned many overly I agree but many may be thinking about the move done with the fan shaking. As we all know, we as humans, will always find something wrong with something. How great life would be if we looked in the mirror and paid more attention writing to ourselves. Ppl should try to understand each other’s points of view and have happy thoughts about this young star. I’m an 80’s baby my mom would have never let me shake nothing like this BUT this is a different time. She also seems to have a mom that really cares about her daughter and she is going to keep her safe. Also some ppl have issues with this but NOT a little girl of another race shaking as part of a dance. IT is a dance move no different from any other dance of this time or times b4. I myself was a taken back at first but taking the whole thing into context, I see no issues if the child’s parents see no issues. She is a precious beautiful angel and she is enjoying herself, that’s how I see it now. She could be doing other things but she is having fun and enjoying her playful years. God bless her and her family
Get it, Ms. Shirley (La'riyah)!!!
😂I love "Miss Shirley" she is an adorable, bright little lady! 👢👢On The Ground! Where them fans at? I pray blessings over her life, her mother and family. Jennifer, I love your positive show, blessings!!!
Ms. Shirley showed up and delivered. Too cute
She is so freaking adorable! 🥰 Go head Ms. Shirley 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This baby girl is absolutely adorable and definitely a old soul! She's doing her thang!!!!💜
I'm retired at 31, went from Grass to Grace. This video here reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, honest wife and 35k biweekly and a good daughter full of love just like this little angel❤
I'm feeling really motivated.
can you share some details about the bi-weekly topic you brought up?
@@Kelley-C.marry1 It is simply the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US amd abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
Big thanks to Mrs Christine Marie Rocke
With her guidance, I reached 850k through trading Big thanks to Mrs Christine Marie Rocke . I'm still surprised how she gets her analysis and strategies, she's an absolute genius ♥️
Can't imagine earning $36,000 biweekly, God bless Ms Christine Marie Rocke, God bless America 🇺🇸♥️
"Boots on the Ground" is going to be the song of the summer! Congratulations to Miss Shirley as she did her thing. Continue to do your thing and keep up the good work! :-)
I never met a Soul so old in a Baby before! ❤😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😭😭 Get It Miss Shirley! 💕
Yes ma'am, No ma'am , and thank you should be taught. She's still adorable.
She isn't on a plantation.
I agree
No, it shouldn't. Respect can be given with a clear "Yes" or "No".
@@Aprilluvsfood THANK U SOOO…VERY MUCH
Just stop please. I grew up in the 1960s and we were taught to show respect without using the slave master's language.
She is AMAZING! She has the most BRIGHT spirit!
Wow! That little girl is born to dance! She’s definitely got the rhythm and coordination most kids her age don’t have. She’s definitely a talented little girl.
It's her calling and gift. I wish people would stop judging miss Shirley. She is enjoying life beside she only entertaining😊
I wouldn't be able to keep up with Miss Shirley. She has every thing down pack, fan and shaking it low. Go baby girl! ❤️
Nothing cute about a baby shaking it low. With all the perverted things going on . Child porn,sex trafficking . Wake up people!
SMH
I love seeing little black girls enjoying themselves
I love to see people enjoying life period!
Facts

Ms Shirley
You are awesome young little lady
Keep dancing 😂❤❤❤
May God bless you
I love Ms. Shirley. She is too cute. 🥰 I just hope they don’t forget she is a baby and not have her grow up to fast.
She too Grown..I don't think it's cute😮
I don’t think that’s going to be an issue.
Jealous of a young child dancing! @@sonjalightfoot3728
Oh please! How is she too grown! She is a sweet child!
@@sonjalightfoot3728 Wow..
Yes Yes Mz Shirley. You Are Awesomely Fantastic 🤠❤ 💃🏾
Omg, Miss Shirley is adorable!! She owns it!! ❤❤❤❤
i love that 803Fresh has her in his official video that he debuted on Sherri today, also.
I was happy to see her, too.
Adorable 😂❤ That fan almost as big as her ❤😂
I love you Ms Shirley…keep dancing sweetheart ❤
I don't have to tic Tok Thank you so much for showing Ms Shirley. That baby made my day.
you can go on youtube and learn. Ms. Shirley is cute as a button, she is smart, she knows a lot, but she definitely does not know the steps.
I have tried to learn this dance for months and I watched Lil Miss Shirley and I got the dance finally after a day.
She’s a doll and has such a sweet personality.
Yesss Ms Shirley!!! So happy to see this beautiful baby and mommy on the JHud show. I love me some Ms Shirley. She makes my day! 🥰🥰🥰 Keep on stepping baby!!💕💕💕
I had the most horrible day today until I came across this omg this made me smile from ear to ear! She is so adorable❤
That last time jhud was watched with appreciation, and now will be scorned!!!!!!!
Beautiful mom & daughter🥰😍
I saw the video for boots on the ground and 803Fresh has her in the video dancing. No negativity over here. Dance baby girl and I hope I am here to see you dancing professionally. Love it.🥰
The guy who sings that is her uncle
That Miss Shirley is so funny! She looking at them like "Where you at??" lol
Too cute….and talented!
🤣🤣🤣🤣💕‼️ remind me when I was a kid I Loved all the dances 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾Couldn’t wait for soul train came on me and my sister and cousins and aunts used to be front and center
I love watching this beautiful little dance. Just so amazing.
She is so Amazing and just fantastic love looking at her dance ❤❤❤
I LOVE THIS for Her!!! Keep up the GREAT work and to the Mom Tish you are AMAZING as well!!!
I love this sweet baby girl😍 she's so dang cute ❤ she's going places !! 😍😊
Now that was to cute, I'm 59 and don't know how to do the dance, I guess I'll get on Tik Tok😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Ms Shirley!❤❤ Thanks J for helping put her out there.
crazy how this mom is leting this 4yo pop her but like this my god protect her
She the cutest 😂❤
When she said hold one piece 😂 so so cute ❤️
When I was a little girl I loved to dance - to copy my teenage cousins! They did the mashed potato and twist and temptation walk! Let that child have fun!🤠
She left them "ol ladies" in the dust! 😂
She sure did!!
Ms. Shirley is too cute!!! ❤😂😂
That was so damn adorable, go on Ms Shirley!
she can dance I've followed her she can go!💃💃💃💃💃💃
Love This! I can't wait til she's older to see how she made the world smile at her talent
She is an old soul. She is just so cute, but she has that spark. It's just fun to watch her interact with adults.
Soooo proud of you baby girl. Big things will keep coming. Lynn Echo The Actress loves you
I'm a fan been following her videos since early march. I'm not listening to the negativity remarks everyone entitled to their opinions so. I think she is a star in the making
I just got done going in on some grown women on this topic. The crazy lady claimed that this mother is USING her daughter for profit and that the child speaks like an adult!!! The child is intelligent af WTH do you expect? I guess bc she don’t fit the narrative of being the mean bitter black mom that hates on her daughter and bc the child have an extensive vocabulary, it must be abuse abuse abuse!!! 😂😂😂 This weird adult obviously have deep rooted hatred for their own mothers and was made to suppress their talents. It’s coming from an ugly place. They are extremely jealous of this baby and her mother. It’s sad to see, and it be your own people!!!
Just look for the post statement “may god protect this child” you’ll see the hate.
I love this!! She need to teach me lol
This deserves way more views. Absolutely underrated
I love this baby🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾She is so adorable and can dance 🥰🪭👢🫶🏾
This Baby probably srill wearing pull-ups, taking over somebody's talk show!!
😂😂😂😂 Adorable, lil self!! 🤩😍🤩
She did such a fantastic job I’m so happy for her🤗 I LOVE ME SUM MS. Shirley 🥰🥰🪭🪭💙💙💙
Yes work Ms Shirley cutie 🥰 pie
This baby ran the stage. She is a little dancing doll❤
Hope she learns that fast when she's in school if she does she'll be phenomenal❤
Apparently, children are not learning in schools in the USA because High School graduates are reading and comprehending at a second grade level.
@@teresamarie7460you said the key word apparently depending on where you get your information.
Yes, she’s a fast learner! She knows her numbers and can say them in Spanish. She can spell and write her name! Ms Shirley has a very good mother!
@@teresamarie7460And yet, Black women are the most educated demographic…

You already know the ans to that. The one that's also making a profit. This child is being groomed to appear in hollywood n all over the 🌍 selling fans, clothes, as you see blk celebs are promoting her. I think the OJ's said it best, For the ❤of money.
This shit breaks my heart

Thank god someone said it
She is exactly who she thinks she is 🥺💕. Also she seems so sweet, well behaved and polite.
She is adorable!

Ms Shirley is adorable. 😍 Work on that yeah to yes when speaking to adults. Put a little respect on it. 😁
She’s going to be fine. She already knows how to conduct herself. Way better than some of these big people
Most adults don't deserve respect. Judging and criticizing other people's kids
