Jennifer Lopez's 11-Year-Old Daughter Just Blew The Internet Away With This Alicia Keys Cover

"You better have vocal control, girl!"

The talent apple doesn't fall too far from the tree in the Lopez family!

Over the weekend, the internet was in for an unexpected treat when Jennifer Lopez shared a video of her 11-year-old daughter, Emme, covering Alicia Keys' all-time classic, "If I Ain't Got You." And after listening to her pipes, it's safe to say she got it from her mama and her daddy!

  • On Saturday (May 11), J.Lo uploaded the 10-minute video to her YouTube channel, giving fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse into her rehearsal process leading up to her performance for The Today Show's summer concert series.

  • As with any Jenny from the block affair, there was plenty of glitz and glamour, with a sneak peek of her first live performance for her latest single, "Medicine." But there's one moment that had the internet shook in a whole new way featuring young Emme. 

  • The pop star was in the middle of vocal lessons before Emme, her daughter with salsa icon Marc Anthony, and a friend came into the room. Like any proud mama, Jennifer encouraged Emme to show the team her cover of "If I Ain't Got You."

    Emme showed off her powerful vocals, easily belting out high notes as a pianist played along. One member of Jenny's camp excitedly shouts, "You better have vocal control, girl!" as the 11-year-old pulls off an impressive vocal run. Talk about singing chops!

  • The 11-year-old might just have a fan club on her hands with many already declaring themselves fans.
