@B, I agree, whoever is behind her is really being very selfish and sucks at doing business !

@B, It seems so, but let’s keep our hopes up.
It’s too obvious that there’s some force that’s been keeping her under the shadow all these years.

Did anyone know that she was offered the role of Hanna Montana before Miley? She turned it down because she wanted to focus on music. True to her passion, the kind of artist we need right now.

Im glad rap up is covering everything Jojo or else I would have never gotten to checking her out.

yes, yes

She had a huge battle to be released from her contract. She fought it for 3 years and they held all the music. That is why she hasn’t been ABLE to release any new music. That new album is coming soon!

Even though the album process is moving slowly, you guys have to keep in mind that the industry is NOT what it use to be 10 years ago. Back then, an artist would drop a single, and then, less than 3 months later, a full LP was presented for listeners. But, the music business has abruptly changed within the past 3 years or so. Now, artists are doing singles, because the record sales are super low and increasingly dropping because of the instant readiness of the internet (leaked tracks and pre-released albums). Singers are still in the studio cutting tracks all the way until 2 months or before an actual release date is given to the public. With JoJo’s case, everything is moving slower despite the popular demand from her loyal followers on the internet.

In a way, I’m extremely excited that we have things like Youtube and entertainment blogs like Rap-Up and others to keep us posted on the work because without, JoJo could have definitely faded to black. No matter how talented she maybe, we’re in a different era were talent is overshadowed by bright wigs, mediocre vocals and drag inspired fashion. Shameful, I know, but JoJo is the way. The way to display her determination with sheer hard work. The way she remains dedicated to her music, because when things are tough like they are now, it’s very easy to give up and give in. But, she still stands ready to burn a fire in the hearts and minds of her listeners. I know that “the train” maybe delayed, but that doesn’t mean it’s not coming. You guys gotta be patient and have faith, SHEESH! You little shits are overly zealous and will leave, but I’ll wait on the stoop with a crooked smile on my face when the train gets here. :p
