yeah, she acts like she's the complete opposite now but really it's the same thing but in black and white instead of looking like a unicorn vomited on her lmao. if she really wanted to have this dramatic change she'd dress in neutral colors and not have rhinestones on literally everything and just be chill lmao
@@SD-wn3cm I’m confused as to how you’re having such bad reading comprehension. No one wants her to do drugs. OP’s comment is referring to how she’s trying so hard to have a bad girl persona, but it just comes off as forced.
@@SD-wn3cmwhat OP is trying to say is that Jojo is trying to hard to be “an adult” that her misinformed idea of doing this, will make her one. The example used is saying that if a person had no idea the effects of a cigarette, they would think it would make them high. It’s the same as teens who are even sparkly apple juice and told it’s champagne and they act drunk cause they think it’s supposed to make them drunk. Hope that clears things up. 👍🏻
The recent drama around JoJo Siwa on TikTok has me thinking a lot about what happened with Noah and TikTok in general more lately. Disclaimer, I have no feelings at all about JoJo. Don't know much about her other than she's been all over my socials the past few weeks due to this new song and music video she recently put out. Today the drama revolves around the original "Karma" song and music video, written and performed by Brit Smith, getting posted online. This has led to TikTok going to war with JoJo Siwa, claiming she lied about writing the song. That she stole the song, etc. The problem? She didn't do either of those things. She never claimed to be "scared while writing" Karma. She explicitly said she was scared of Karma-because its lyrics were outside her usual brand. She also didn't steal the song. She bought it legitimately as a lot of people in the music industry do. But those two facts have gone ignored on TikTok, because the facts aren't as funny or scandalous as the memes and rage bait people can generate. Then of course, when JoJo posts a video obviously upset and crying about the hate she's gotten online today, those same people lambast her over being a rich woman crying in her expensive car. Ring any bells? Noah Schnapp has been driven off of social media at this point. Years of TikToks have been privated, his RU-vid has gone quiet, and he's even taken down most of his Instagram. All in response to hate he got from some bad internet actors who took a strongly-worded post in support of Israeli hostages AND innocent Palestinians and turned it into a claim that he supported the wholesale genocide of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. Just like JoJo, people invented stories because obviously what he actually said wasn't spicy enough for virality. They claimed he laughed at dead Palestinian children. Ask them to show you where he did this, though, and they'll show you a picture of him smiling while people WHO ARE NOT HIM in the background have "Zionism is sexy" stickers on or in their hands - which is not the same thing. Not even close. They've lied and said he harasses people of color on the set of Stranger Things. Every report we have from people who work with him, though, says he's a sweetheart. See the trend? I am begging anyone who has managed to read this far to stop using TikTok as a news source. Like any video app, every single person who posts on it has a slant, a bias, a narrative, an agenda. For most, they just want attention, likes, and views and they know what trends - baseless rage, memes, and cruelty in the name of fun. Many of them like to dress up as activists fighting for the little guy, while they themselves are wealthy creators who are doing absolutely nothing to solve the problems they claim to care about. Defend anyone they rage against and you're just "defending rich people." Trust me. You're not doing the working class any favors by being vicious c***s online. You're not "taking on the rich" by lying blatantly and making your lies go viral. You're just a terrible person with selfish intentions. Be better than that.
I lowkey feel bad for her.. she’s absolutely been manipulated by the adults around her her entire life and even still as an adult. It’s like her whole life is a pr stunt. Idk, she should be able to have been a normal child with a normal life.
@@RosieObrien-_- unfortunately that is also probably an outcome of the abuse from dance moms and what i can only imagine was her moms bs way to deal with it. jojo shouldve been taught better and she wasnt, you cant fault her for that. we CAN fault her for refusing to take critisicm though
@@daveys_tiredI dunno at a certain point I feel like even with negative upbringing you need to take accountability for your actions. There's other kids from dance moms that don't seem to be bad people. She's absolutely a victim but now she's just continuing the cycle of abuse.
@@morveil7647 i understand that and agree to a certain extent but its hard to break the cycle all on your own especially when you're never really taught how to. plus the people who surround her (its not her fault her mom's a piece of shit) teach her all the wrong ways to handle important life changes. like I don't think any mother would think that a healthy way of dealing with her daughter growing up is by making a new song and a press tour to go with it. i really just think that she (and many other child celebrities turned adults) are a product of their environments. not saying that share no blame but they're not the root issue
Her rebrand looks like she's on a episode of a Disney show with a subplot about one of the characters going through an "edgy" phase, only to inexplicably drop it by the end because now they're obsessed with frogs or something.
RIGHTTT trying to prove she's grown up so hard that she's completely missing itttt?? like a ton of other child stars n celebrities grew up and didnt have to prove anything likeee dove cameron?
When she was in an interview talking about doing the song Karma, she was like "I didnt want to say i was a bad girl, because i WASNT a bad girl" so even she knows shes forcing this bad girl thing
She is literally the same person but going through the edgy phase she missed out on 10 years earlier. The lack of interaction from people her age has left her to act this way late
It is giving sheltered child rebelling by doing what they think the "cool kids" do but also not wanting their mom to be TOO mad. Honestly surprised the song doesn't have the word "frick" in it
That's exactly what i was thinking, her intended audience is still definitely kids, but now the very sheltered kids that think they're being edgy and mature
You remember that episode of Hannah Montana where she met the pop star Isis, who gave her the advice that she needed to switch up her image to stay relevant, and so Miley freaked out and tried to adopt a fake metal imagine that didn’t suit her at all? No reason.
@@haroldharold9042girl it’s not about that💀 You can’t claim to be creating a new genre and then release a song that was written and recorded by another artist 10 years ago
Yeah I definitely knew about it. You know what her Mom said about her during the show where girls have to dance. “She Deserved nothing!” That’s what she said and JoJo cried because of her mother’s words.
@@SD-wn3cm Hey what do you mean she’s not been in any real controversy. Was the defending literal child predators and abusing/exploiting disabled kids not good enough for you?
Tbh my problem with her isn’t her rebrand; it’s the fact that she has been hanging out and collaborating with known creeps and completely ignoring concerns. She’s clearly been through a lot of pressure as a kid but it feels like she’s not rlly trying to get better idk if that makes sense
I genuinely think that she's so sheltered and yet so taken advantage of that she has zero idea what a healthy child/adult interaction is supposed to look like. Not to let her off, JoJo should be dragged for all the terrible stuff she's done. She needs it.
I feel like it's highly possible she was groomed. Especially being a child star from as young as she was, knowing what we do about the industry, it's entirely possible she was around some horrible people that conditioned her early on. I want to say: I don't support her and am in no way condoning her behavior. I just recognize it and feel like that could be happening here. I can only hope she matures and starts growing away from the toxicity, but you never know.
@Luca-tj7pd Chad talks about the xomg girls abuse IN the video. Siwa's mom is terrible and we're about to have another Britney on our hands in just a few years.
@ville__ asperger’s syndrome is now just under the autism umbrella, because asperger was a nazi who wanted to distinguish those who could still be of use to the Reich from those who should be killed.
I love that she tried to become 18+ but 10 year old girls still sing her songs. I had a dance recital and had to share a dressing room with a bunch of 10 year old girls and they were all singing karma and just substituting the swear words for other stuff. JOJO YOU LITERALLY FAILLLEEDDD
the funnier thing about the words is the original didn't even have the "effed around" line the line originally is "messed around" Jojo wanted to be edgy by changing that one word and it's not even a full curse word.
honestly my theory is she's still genuinely trying to get kids to be her audience, just in a more roundabout way. like she's hiding it behind this supposed "edginess" but we can all see it's clearly immature, and obviously is not appealing to actual adults
She just comes out with a metal folding chair and rails somebody across the back when they least expect it. Can you smell what the rock is cookin?! I’m tired. I need a nap…..
Idk I was a homeschool kid and I got into drugs and alcohol at 12. She needs to catch up if she wants to be as cool as homeschooled kids. Btw I got sober by 19 when I had my children.
when you said her mum is behind it , everything clicked in my brain this girl is still being absolutely used and I cant even be sure if she knows it or if she has really been that brainwashed (which is normal for a child star); a shame whatsoever
Honestly, I think this stunt was done so that people talk more about Jojo being cringe instead of her hanging out with bad people. I can't tell if Jojo knows or not, because on one hand, she says crazy shit like "I'm inventing gay pop" which could absolutely relate to the attention thing, but at the same time, she seems to so genuinely believe what she's saying that it just might be what her managers/mom told her. If that's the case, she might genuinely believe that this phase is what's best and that makes me sad for her. But she could also just be in on everything and be just genuinely terrible
I agree she has been brainwashed and her mum is behind a lot of that but shes exploiting children too. Shes "rebranding" due to not just being friends with james charles and collen ballienger but also because of her exploiting kids too also this song was written 5 years ago and the writer wanted to sell it to miley and now JoJo has it an is pretending she wrote it herself
There really is a difference between "going off the rails so disney (who has controlled my life) has no choice but to let me go" and "everyone has to have a bad girl era sometime!"
Someone else prop did her looks, idk but I don’t think she designed and made her makeup and costume. It’s prop the peeps that created it, who drew from it. But she could have drawn inspiration without knowing them I guess. It does go to show a lot tho, that she doesn’t know what is such a direct reference to what she’s wearing
Tbh I don’t rly have a problem with the song “Karma” being cringe is not a crime, but the fact that she exploited disabled kids + defended Colleen makes me love it when ppl hate on Jojo.
Best part is she didn’t write it, the original is online from Brit smith lol she didn’t release it and she’s been interviewed about it. It’s from 2012. JoJo is pretending she wrote it.
One of the reasons for her rebrand is definitely to distract from the exploitation, ive seen way more people talking about the rebrand than the allegations so its lowkey working
The problem is that she has only ever been aware of what’s occurred during HER lifetime and she’s so sealed in that bubble that she’s believed all the hype that her mum and her PR team have told her. “I’m a pioneer? Noones done this before? For real? Let’s run with it!”
It's like she is going through puberty. First, she was a little child with all the fluorescent sparkly clothes, and now she is in the emo phase of a teenager. Soon enough, she will be a businesswoman, working an office job.
the emo phase of a teenager in her early 20s... tbf though she's basically just a parody of miley cyrus except less genuine and dressed like goldust without any of the gold
The new villain "Karma" just starts flirting with Marinette, who has to awkwardly flirt back and distract her, while Cat Noir tries to sneak up and Cataclysm her oversized hairbow.
Colleen I could believe she was groomed by so I was always iffy about that situation. idk the situation with Todrick Hall. All ik is that Jojo and her mother abused children, and no one is talking about it.
@@_sippingcider6934in her podcast interview w howie mendell she was like colleen is so normal everyone is lying about her being weird with kids anyway we became best friends when i was 12 and she was 30
The way Jojo is trying so hard to show everyone she is a now changed person is the equivalent of a 6-year-old showing their parents a "new dance move" they made
I've seen Vtubers do more controversial stuff than her. Granted, that's a high bar, but still it's the 2020s and she's not doing remotely enough if she wants to shock audiences under the age of 90.
This feels like a 12 year old trying to sound grown up by swearing a lot. And she’s still hanging out with predators who reinforce her weird concepts of adult/child relationships that she learnt from being exploited for content as soon as she could walk.
🙋🏻♀️Former Claire’s Creative Director here. Jessalynn is 100% behind the branding and yes, her taste, manners, personality and class are as bad as you would assume.
I think the thing that urks me is that she wears "edgy" like a costume. Like it's so clear that she's just playing this like a part in order to escape being seen as a child star rather than actually finding her real identity as an adult.
Bruh exactly. I think there’s something to be said for confronting the shadow- former child stars in particular need to do this as they are basically only allowed to exist as an objectified image and are denied the nuance that gives them humanity. So a “bad girl” phase makes sense. This particular attempt is so manufactured that it lacks any of the growth that such a phase normally brings. Well adjusted people have usually done some level of work to confront their own negative feelings or “darkness” and this, like so much media right now, has no genuine substance and was made with safety in mind. I’m not saying she should do anything outrageous- pushing the envelope for the sake of being edgy is also “safe.” True daring involves honesty and modern media follows the same formulas over and over. More annoyed with Jojo’s team for telling her exactly what to do and not allowing her any real input.
Compare hers to Miley Cyrus and she's just cringey but harmless. Mileys seemed like a cry for help and it was bordering on pathetic to watch. I guess I'm saying there's levels to this
Honestly I kinda wonder if we're not seeing the first marketing campaign based entirely around cringe. It would explain a lot, and if that was the goal, it succeeded. Everyone's talking about her.
The first clip of jojo was so inaudible it just sounded like “heybabagananananaguys” like jojo ik you’re a bad girl but that doesn’t need you need to be bad at talking. (Btw for anyone wondering I am NOT trying to bully her I just found her hard to understand)
Nah theses no chance of a law suit. if you look on streaming platforms like Spotify, the actual writers are credited… she’s just saying she did even tho it’s an easily proven falsehood
no she can’t sue her because jojo bought the song and it was unreleased anyways. it’s bad that she’s claiming to have written it because that’s just completely a lie but it is technically hers now
i just realized your entire reaction to the song is no longer in this video after re-watching it since it first came out. Well, you know what they say: Copyright's a Bitch! You should've know better...
@@SD-wn3cm but you can't be sure that it's actually her decision, and one way of another, she 100% needs therapy simply for being a star and even more a young one
@@Just_a_l0v3sick_girl could be a transcript bot, could be a team of people with too much time on their hands (somehow i doubt that, the name itself is kinda odd) idk, people get defensive if you take issue with it. feels weird to me anyway
It looks like she was gonna go on her usual Claire’s run at the mall, but happened to spot hot topic out of the corner of her eyes 😭 but she only stayed in the sanrio/earring/anime merch part of the store
Honestly it makes her seem even younger, I was surprised to hear she's only a few months younger soon, she's almost 21. When I heard about it my innitial reaction was "Eh, she's just learning how to express herself, every teen goes through it." I still feel that way but it's obvious that her trying to be more adult is backfiring.
@olenchka i think op means that everything jojo is doing is making her seem like a teenager trying to discover themselves so it was shocking to find out jojo ISN'T a teenager
For real, she’s got me thinking that she barely entered her nineteenths BUT NO??? I saw her real age and it was a shock because it really feels like she’s just experiencing changes that for regular people (or specifically non child stars) started and ended way sooner 🧍🏻
Remember not to look directly at the rebranded JoJo without special safety glasses. Even though she looks dark and edgy for a brief period, you can still get permanent eye damage.
3:11 so she wants to “invent” gay pop but then immediately lists several songs that already fit into the category. Girl is so desperate. But I’ll give it to her, that dance move of rolling back into a headstand was pretty sick.
It’s so awkward watching her say over and over that this is the biggest jump when everyone can see it’s not. I guess none of us should be surprised, but it certainly is… something. It feels like akin to a child thinking they’re so edgy and different because they dressed up an iconic horror movie slasher instead of a princess for Halloween one year lol.
thank you for ALSO reminding everyone about the ab*sing her dance team part, people keep leaving that out and it's like wait she actually is a bad girl she's literally a terrible person
“That had music and video.” said with flawless curtness, as the sign behind her is half-obscured and thus reads only “Really.” is either a happy coincidence, or the cherry on top of the most exquisitely directed music-video-reaction-video I’ve ever seen. The screaming dog moment had to be reviewed multiple times to contextualize. I’m crying, that was perfect.
thank you for editing in the elements during your choreo LMAO literally as soon as you started dancing, I was like "ChadChad is the Avatar we need, but don't deserve"
So fun fact, the song karma, was in fact a word for word copy of a Britt smith song, by the same name. The only word she changed was “messed up” to “effed up” which kind of fits her whole “oooh look at me I’m so edgy” theme
Pretty sure she sold the rights to her or something along those lines, did the same thing with another song she claims to have written. Nothing wrong with claiming the rights but it’s kind of strange when she goes around saying she wrote the thing.
i feel like so many people don't know how commercial pop recording works. it's very common for songs to be recorded by multiple singers and passed around before finally being released. brit smith didn't write the song either, it was written by a team of writers who sold the rights to jojo's label.
"No one has even questioned the music video yet" You know what she was right, it was when I watched the mv when I stated questioning all my life decisions
Jojo saying how scared she was of the lyrics while being in the brightest cutesy pink room and then later singing Karma in her car with unicorn seats is so funny
_Right?_ I'm as flummoxed as you are -not that Harvey isn't cute, though- This is clearly the main piece of news in this video! :D (that said, I romanced Sebastian in my playthrough, which I'm pretty sure means I'm super basic. After the clip Chad Chad showed and your comment I kind of have a mighty need to dive back into the game and see what the other paths have to offer...)
its so funny she thinks she taking such a daring leap. she’s “the first of the generation” SO many disney stars turned to music that children probably wouldn’t listen or understand. i mean sure… olivia hasn’t humped a beach in her mv’s (and i really hope she doesn’t). but as someone who watched a lot of olivia’s stuff as a kid and loves her music now. it’s just something that happens idk. kids grow up (i mean that’s crazy /sar) jojo’s just taking it way overboard tbh 💀💀
Good girl to bad girl is literally one of the most predictable things a musician can do. Literally everyone does it. I would be more shocked if an artist did the opposite. I don't know why people think this is shocking or unique.
The only way Jojo can convince me she's an adult is if she addresses and apologizes for her mistreatment of the young girls on her XOMG show. An adult faces the consequences of their actions.
