“Some have conjectured that Zendaya Coleman, the 19-year-old singer-actress-dancer, can do no wrong. That assessment has so far proved pretty accurate.
When Zendaya was 16, she became the youngest contestant on “Dancing with the Stars” — and placed second overall.
The next year, her debut album’s lead single, “Replay,” went platinum.
