He's got the adoption thing down pat, but can he sing?

Things are still coming together for the Sony Pictures remake of Annie with Willow Smith in the title role. But the 10-year-old "Whip My Hair" singer has got her eye on a certain A-lister for the role of Daddy Warbucks.

"Brad Pitt!" Smith told Access Hollywood.

But the pint-sized songbird noted, "We're just going to have to wait."

While the project is being produced by Willow's uber star father Will Smith and musical King Midas Jay-Z, Willow said she's drawing inspiration from a younger performer -- pal Justin Bieber.

"I learn from him when he’s performing and doing what he does so the crowd gets excited," she said. "I get to learn from him a lot."

    Not to sound racist, but if you're going to do a remake... why is Willow Smith playing Annie? Annie was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl.
