JoJo's Music Story: The Truth about her Career 

She should of pursue acting again.

and i'm one of em i love this girl !

She does have songs out new ones look em up.

That's a reach, but I see what you're tryna say

I love jojo s album songs “ say love” number 1

ayana and that, unfortunately, keeps her in the dark

Wasn’t she on one of the love and hip hop shows?

Ayana, Yessss👏👏👏👏👏

ayana we will wait for jojo’s comeback

labluestar1 HELL NO!

Jasmine Sullivan sound grown asf too when she was 11yo😩

good thing she has a nice fandom behind her ....

Agreed and her range is insane. No need to pit one against another. It divides us... and is so high school. One compliment to the person the video is actually about, shouldn't be a slight to anyone confident in their OWN ability😧

@@delicatedominance Right. Both Jazmin and Jojo can can coexist in the r&b game.

@@delicatedominance not tryning to ➗ making a statement 😏 i love the both of them... Its not the serious😂😏😌

This! If I was an artist and Whitney knew me and my music, that would mean more to me than any Grammy or award!

I literally was thinking the same thing

💯%

unsung

OMG I LOVE YOUR MASHUPS

YAS!

Hey love it

Raheem d I really love your mashups it always brings back 90s with new generation right now

Facts same here

Girl I see you everywhere! Got your playlist on lock girl.

@@TheCinderellaPrincess lol i no right i be seeing you too😂😂

Factsssssssssss

ms. sassy diva, where are the young, afr/black american (NOT MIXED OR BIRACIAL), FEMALE singers of today that are being pushed into the limelight? when i was a young woman there was mary j blige, swv, brandy, monica, 702, faith evans, envogue, adina howard, toni braxton, india arie, erykah badu, lauryn hill, jill scott, kelly price, total, nicole ray, nivea, selena johnson, angie stone, lil mo, ashanti, etc. etc. women i could look at and see myself. who do young afr/black american girls have to look at to see themselves? let me guess sza.....HOORAY

Facts 🙏🏽

Se

Dwayne J S don’t speak so soon. She’s still signed to Atlantic ;)

She did sell out! I saw so many satanic hand signs in this segment

@@MRkx990 She actually left the Atlantic label and formed her own record label Clover Music. Not everyone in the industry is a sellout. She's indie nowadays. They tried to gloom her but she wasn't with the BS. Also JoJo wanted to do music with R Kelly but her mom didn't let her and if that did happened she would've been a victim. If she did sellout, she would've been as big as Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato in today's society but she's not today bcuz she refused to sell her soul. That's why she was having label problems and those lawsuits bcuz they (Blackground) were forcing her to sell out and she refused plus it took years to get out of her contract with her lawyers involved. There are two ways of signing a contact, with blood aka your own blood or a regular pen aka black and blue. She didn't sign her name in blood at all but her mom warned her about the industry when she was younger. Celebrities also have choices towards selling their own souls or not selling their souls. If she did, she would've been controlled like Cardi B and Ariana. She said in this video that she was in a difficult wicked situation.

Emmanuel Johnson I would have watched it for her!!

She would have been too old for Hannah Montana .. i think

Alexa Quinonez jojo is just 2 years older than Miley so I don’t think there would have been a problem

Miley was amazing but Jojo would've done the role just as well

Not too many young artist that come out of Disney seem to keep grounded as they get older. I'm glad that wasn't her path.

Barry Hankerson is just an evil & oddly twisted person, he won't even release Aaliyah's music on streaming sites which is just weird af.

All record labels want is puppets to fit the industry's agenda tbh

Right, most likely because she refused to sell out and they wanted to show her that they were in charge by locking her down and not letting her put anything out smh

Disney channel aint nothing too play with they will make sure youre a house hold name

She redid a lot of her songs if you listen to her on Spotify! They sound so much better it’s crazy!

refreshing

@@annipsy2185 eeuhm what? Jojo is born a male. He is a castrated boy on female hormones. With ages he starts to show his true gender that jaw is growing, her bones, hands, shoulders keep growing. Btw thats why "she" sings so well. Its a castrated boy. Like almost all celebrities/elite, they are baphomet worshipping satanists who follow the law of reversal and Aleister Crowleys teachings.

@@jimdim1010 right

Jim Dim omg 🤣😂🤣😂

@@Y21lizz you will understand what i say. When you watch netflix or tv next time. Try to look at the "females" as a man and the "males" as a woman. You can search about hollywood transvestigation. For example, look at how Adriana LIma and Angelina Jolie age, they grow bones (shoulder and a jaw) like a man with age while real woman should have bone loss! They are ALL inverted!

Queendreamer I thought the same thing.

I was very annoyed by that lol

I agree it sux I'm not a fan of that brat I apologize but that is how I feel I'm a child of the 80's and the 90's and she trumps the bowtard anyday.

Tamar Braxton's ex husband discovered her!? And Aaliyah's uncle!?

Yes!!! JoJo is the real talent...Jojo siwa please find others name!

🤔 Probably Because She Didn't Wanna Sell Out My Opinion🤷

man fuck barry

Tiana Haley and i’m happy she didn’t sell out and still hasn’t. Most artist are only in it for the money and not the music. Thank God she stays true to her craft.

@@tianahaley9913 she did kinda sell out

Exactly sooo soo sad🙏🙏🙏jojo baby we want you back

I would have agreed with you about JoJo not selling her soul for fame except you can clearly see her make the 666 sign at 14:33..What a shame and she did not even get much career popularity after she did that.. I honestly wonder if there are any popular music artists in the entertainment industry(besides country) that have not already sold their souls...:(

Ikr?

@@0627iris muahahahahahahaheheeehehehehehahahahahah....Heheheh..wow..I needed that laugh, thank you! AN 'ok' sign means 666..gotchya..

@@Timbo6669 Wake up!

@@0627iris I'm sure Tori Kelly is one of those artists who would never sell her soul for fame

Regular ppl can't afford expensive lawyer just yet

A lawyer LaToya? Wow.

Girl, exactly!!! ALWAYS involve your lawyer!!!

I think most of them have parents who put them in those situations just for money. Not every one has money for lawyers,not everyone has good people around them.

I know! Poor song choices and poor management. She knows this, too. So sad. She’s an angel 😇

Hot Chocolate BINGO!!!!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽

I love her and Tori Kelly.

Factssssss and Tori Kelly have some good music 😫

How is it sad that she didn’t wanna sell her soul to the devil?

I want a collab between them!I love them both!

Aww that's adorable :) She seems like such a nice woman..

Damn......she blew up like 6 mths later.

Ohh u are lucky

Wow

Dope... that cd is worth more than any of her songs bc its b4 she was a super star

Amen

Fact

Word!!!

For real

She doesn't know 'em lol. If she knows who you are, you're set.

Totally agree!

Uh- uh. #TaylorDayne

Sylvia Gomez I used to be a jojo fan but when she stop coming out with music i moved on to other people but i wish her well in her career

Visuals by MaNnY even if you go solo these evil people run the industry and sooner or later if you become famous you will run into them it’s best to stay away from the evil music and film industry altogether

This

Visuals by MaNnY it’s really not changing. It just looks that way. All the artists that seem home grown and like underdogs are all plants used to make the industry look like it’s for the people now

Agreed 100%

Thanks to Trump. Look it up

She has a new song out on Spotify called "Gold."

I feel the same and I feel so much hurt and disappointment for her first record label. They could have done so much better. I cannot understand how some people could be so malicious.

@@mirandasant3624 need to download it asap ♥️

@@shellynajohn37 100%! Its just so unfair!

She could sing. She still can sign, she is so much better than the singers out there today.

shinydiscoboi ikr. Without the video I would think is a 21 singing at this stage she is at 12

Na she just sucks honey ! If she was good she could make it now !

Me too such a good voice

DearNurse Nicole right

Dasia Green lol I hate when that happens

I agree. It's really annoying

Dasia Green girl same here!!!!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dasia Green lmao ❤️

FACTS

look what they did to Nicole Wray...

Yupp

@@paulsmith3128 who she¿

That’s life period. We all make that decision. Everyday at work, depending on what you do. Everyone makes that choice.

Totally agree with you!! Damn, this girl can sing!!! I bet singers like Selena G., Taylor, Katy, even Demi, were shaking in their shoes hoping this girl doesn't come back on the scene. Force to be reckoned with!

Well, Selena DID get screwed to get where she is. Just saying

Margote demi can sing though

Exactly. Selena is so boring compared to Jojo.

Well you have to look at Selena’s background she probably had money to afford a lawyer to go over a contract with her while Jojo didn’t. Also if Selena wasn’t on Disney channel I can’t imagine her having an actual singing career

Shaquanna Epps I wouldn't say best voice but she has a resonating voice that just pierce through u, when she hits those notes.

MeggzBott the has one of the best...technically 100%

MeggzBott reading is fundamental. It literally says ONE of the best

That’s effed up in general to not own anything about you. Just the sound of it is absolutely ridiculous.

Ikr!! They stole her a voice like Ursula did to Ariel...smh

Happened to Taylor swift and millions of other singers in the past

Yeah Jojo was real life little mermaid :/

Right?! It's straight evil, but it is something she had to sign a way. Made a deal with devils and they straight up stole her voice. Crazy

Cosmic K it’s more sad that she signed so young she probably thought it would be fun and that she would be a super star luckily she didn’t sell her soul to the system and Is much happier now

@@yuyu9619 maybe it was a blessing in disguise that her label had so many issues and held on to her so long. That might have kept her safe from the real corrupt big time execs that were trying to get her in stuff too. She's humble and happy now and doing what she loves.

shit is trifling

SongwriterJT man can you imagine at 13 Whitney THEE Houston acknowledging you and your song?! And Mariah loving a cover you did?

I know right!!! What an honor it must've been!!😊

That would be amazing and it would really help kick start her career again!

Yeah, that would be good idea.She is hardworking, super talented & does her best to perfect her voice. She would get justice she deserves & publicity to her (almost ruined by others) career.

Amen to that!

I love her! She seems down to earth not a prissy princess thats precious feet can't touch the floor. (Ariana) lol

I feel like if she were to make a song with a new artist cant think of who atm she would get the boost she needs. She is still very talented.

She needs a hit song or a collab

I've always been a fan of her from the beginning and I was so sad when she just disappeared

Nicole Taliaferro literally 👌🏽👌🏽

Ikr I just love it

Nicole Taliaferro she really does an excellent job

TOTALLY AGREE. You can see & hear the RESEARCHED & PRESENTED DOCUMENTARIES time spent . @EMPRESSIVE, a TRUE EXAMPLE of RU-vid JOURNALISM AT ITS BEST. NAMASTE🙏🏾👑🎈♀️💪🏾

Thanks for this info.

It was mentioned in the video

Natalie gonzalez thank you miss know it all lmfao

Thank you :)

First and second*

Better than ariana tbh

@@m.h.1593 her voice has more soul to it than ariana

You can see that image and popularity,clout , is what it take to be successful in the industry, especially nowdays ,and that is so sad , that why you can hear alot of song have the same rhythm or sound the same , cause people think by copying somebody , you can make it too, you can see that in these rapper nowdays or celebrities, so sad man,some are scare to come up with different style or flow\sound, cause it might feels like you not going with the trend which , for so many people/upcoming artists is the successful way to make it far ....but ,honestly it started to get old cause there is so much copying going on , that is hard to be a true fan of one artist , and also alot of them are making music or release quick single just do get famous or rich fast ,while they dont even have the passion for music , they just doing it for money and thats it .....

@@jahdroy9595 true its all about chart succsess and not love for the music or much creativity its all about no emotion and bland average songs that will be forgotten and not live to be liked by other geneeations like 90s and early.2000s music.

Shes back

michael Longford she released music and even redid her older stuff

Wtf do you mean thank God she signed that contract??? That contract fucked up her career or were we not watching the same thing???🤦🏾‍♀️

BiancaaaMercedes they’re saying thank God she signed it as a minor other wise she wouldn’t of been able to get out of her contract.

I remember her in the uk she was huge and then there was nothing from her

michael Longford I can’t believe she was 13 when those songs came out. When I saw the leave video, I thought she was 16

I agree like dammm i heard about her in junior high school

think it sucks that got taken away from her smh.

i saw her at the o2 academy a few years ago, and she was so good. it’s a shame she didn’t get her break. especially after jumping trains and a lot of her unreleased songs leaked. ‘the other chick’ ‘forgetting about you’ were amazing.

Her self titled album "Jojo" was released in 2004. The album you're referring to in 2016 was called "Mad Love."

and u know what jojo with black hair almost looks like demi with black hair

@Maximus Prime how are ariana, demi, and Tory Kelly culture vultures

Agreed

I got damn agree too!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

I always wondered what happened to JoJo. I liked her music back in the early 2000's. I liked this music bio.

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

She sounds different on this video tho

7 albums not 7 years. They could only hold her for 7 yrs cause she was a minor. Mom shoulda read that contract before signing it. Sad because her talent is magnificent and should she have remained around Demi lo a to and Ariana grande most likely wouldn't have made the scene.

Chandra Anjelica it’s possible she didn’t understand the legal lingo or they trusted their representatives too much.

missdemicarla I wonder if her mom/guardian signed on her behalf🤷‍♀️

@christian Williams to my knowledge the contract said seven albums. If it said seven years then the other gentleman is correct but ive never heard of music contracts in terms of years. I dont think that they didnt want her to have a career, i think back then it was moreso of other artists on the rise who couldnt compete with jojo lyrically but had the style and apperance to go alot further and releasing her from the contract would have given another label the opportunity to sign her and release new music. Also jojo is the youngest recording artist in history to have a #1 billboard platinum album. Sometimes when labels are able to recoup more money off an album they will shelf you instead of releasing a new album. This is to my knowledge im no pro.

@christian Williams right. Its kinda the same with the unexpected deaths of artist. Conspiracy aside, artists like big, pac, nipsey all worth more to the label, being dead than alive.

She was not an alcoholic

loly_Rach wtf your post seems like your monking her songs? Wtf is wrong with you & she wasn't an alcoholic waste of air ;@

She never said alcoholic she said battled alcohol, which JoJo said she did 🙄

BOOOOOM!!! Exactly THAT Henna Artiste💯 U won't get far, 4get bein a star... If u refuse 2 work 4 the beast! SO many sell their soul & give up FULL control... Thank goodness her career ain't dead, Or sunk like lead... It's ALIVE, not over, done or deceased!!

I swear to god I was thinking this !

No. She tried to but they wouldnt let her

@@ertfgghhhh how ?! Seriously you think they could refuse anyone souls

@@Hhjhfu247 they do all the time. Everybody wont be put on. They pick and choose

Neh-Bih Sangbong yazzzz

Exactly!

@@zek280 Before there was an Ariana Grande, we had JoJo. There shouldn't be any reason why JoJo wouldn't be as big as Grande. The music industry is cruel.

Well she didn't sell her soul to the devil, like Ariana Grande did.

@@nehsangbong7259 I think that Ariana is as big as she because majority of her fans watched her from Nickelodeon.

She released "Joanna" a couple months ago in her channel, it sounds great

Check out her song "Save My Soul" it came out in 2015. It's such a beautiful song!!

She just won her first Grammy this year! So happy for her!

She had a whole album comw out called Mad Love a few years ago! I love it, check it out!

Her comeback already happened

VH1 is horrible now. All they do is play Love & Hiphop all day long.

Let's tweet this!

She’s damn good with this

uhuhuh1966 I Completely agree. I wear/wore that album out!!

Yes it was!!! I hope you guys heard good to know and her latest trying to not think about it albums

@@Msklg of course!!! “Think About You” & “BID” are my shit!!!

@@uhuhuh1966 yesss…fresh new sheets is my ish…she’s going on tour in 2022

He did I really believe aaliyah would of left I believe she would of if she was still here and he did everybody dirty especially jojo

@@Renae12234 I agree. The bible does state family will be first enemy and to not put trust in man. He knew Aaliyah caught on to everything and wanted out. He couldn't take seeing his meal ticket walk away. I noticed she did do the devil horns in her more than a woman video but as she started to wake up from the matrix she wasn't about that. Did you ever listen to rock the boat backwards?

Why? Because she dated a black guy🙄

Ashley shim I believe she made the comment in reference to her soulful style of singing, not because she dated a black guy. Even if she did, why you pressed about it to assume that she’d be invited to a cookout simply because she dated a black guy? 🙄🤦🏽‍♂️

Ashley shim no

Jada Cole Aaliyah’s uncle has always been trash to be honest

Veronica Rosewood ya but that’s not how the labels present the contract... Do you think anyone in their right minds would sign anything that bluntly said “we own your voice” sign here ??

@@Rightwing789 I know. It's manipulative.

craisins 86 wow ☹️

IKR! But, they’re learning now. Thank God for people like her who have been speaking out and exposing the industry.

Try telling that to a 12 year old girl who's excited about getting a record deal

And Tinashe

@@shannonh.n.4046 no

JLo ate the soul of Ashanti.

I don’t think the industry meant to use ariana and Demi to replace jojo but I guess in many ways they did later after ariana, Demi and others starting blowing up Because before demi, and Ariana and others there wasn’t a powerful teen singer like Jojo

Ivy TheGreat Pink is selling out arenas and her albums do very well too. What are you talking about? Now Mya and Jojo on the other hand, yes I do agree about that. Mya and Jojo are both independent right now and they want it that way which I don’t blame them. Jojo been through too much with major labels so I see why she wouldn’t want to sign to another label again.

@@JWill951 you right about that and it's a couple of other female and it's guys too

@@JWill951 Yeah, Pink gets played on the radio all the time. They should've said Ashanti or Amerie

Delila Rose exactly just like Ashanti mya etc.

Lmao @ the invasion of the body snatchers comments. People believe anything 🤦🏾‍♀️ Because cosmetic surgery isn’t a thing.

But I just noticed that when Aaliyah and JoJo started going into acting while they were on the label that things started going sideways.

@@tony-mixes accurate, her uncle is very suspect in so many ways

@@creeyeh and as far as I know, he never wanted Aaliyah to have an acting career. But that's what Aaliyah started off with as a little girl, acting.

GIRL BINGE IT ALL!!!

High heels is amazing, and vibe, and FAB, and save my soul and when love hurts and say love! And the phonebook, jojo could sing the phonebook too and it would be magnanamus!

Mounia B on apple music too. Basically picking my favorites and buying them. so many hits that I didn’t even know from her last album. I remember hearing one or two on the radio but man, she needs to blow up. Soooo underrated

Noor Clean i mean... rumors WAS a bop

Sabia S yea smoking cocaine it is 😂😂

Lmao

Hell yeah

Yesss

I’d have to agree

So sad to use her name to manipulate .

@@airheadwonder ikr :(

I was thinking the same... Two different voices. (JoJo has the better voice) but since Aaliyah is immortalize because of her early death it was taken as a compliment. The uncle wasn't much of an uncle when he let the POS R Kelly around her. JoJo is a great singer and talent... But show business is nothing but fantasy and entertainment. Filled with fakes and whole lotta Autotune.

@@radioraffa I don't think she she use autotune

Janelle K- the 7 year law applies to any adult contract too (including actors) except the recording industry. It just shows how messed up the music industry is.

she's got a great personality

Sir. Dave ikr 😩😩😩

truth, I thin that 's happened to more than half

It’s some evil ish too, as soon as she said berry hankerson in the beginning I new this girl was fckd so much dirt on this man. People even say he was responsible for what happened to Aliyah cause she wanted to leave the label, and he is her family

Yea they do

Yep

@@ryanmates1087 imagine if she had signed with P Diddy, the nightmare would have been even worse.

I think they are defunct now. But I’ll never forgive Blackground until they do right by Aaliyah (aka: release her music) and Jojo.

They even did Tank wrong....WTF

Moral of he story is to READ the contract with an independent lawyer and negotiate for freedom and control

Don't sign with NO record label. Just go independent from jump. So many artists had to struggle to get out of contracts like Ashanti and Mya. It's terrible..... I'm happy JoJo finally got out.

Don’t work with black labels lol

Varvara Vakhrusheva omg yes! Till this day turn off the lights, shit on the radio, explode its on repeat. What a great lyricist she was/is. I try to keep up with her but she is sooooo private that is hard.

She already did.

Yes I need that documentary

I wanna see because Nelly is underrated her Loose album is a classic to I miss that era from her when was making Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and em.

not far off from when she was working on her debut album (she was 12)
