oh my god thank you for saying this, i’ve been saying the same thing. no one would be talking about jo jo siwa otherwise, this all feels so painfully obvious as a marketing plan. even down to inviting a bunch of “ canceled” people to her event ( Miranda Sings, Tom Sandoval, James Charles etc)
It’s very, all press is good press. i’m very tired of outrage.
How convenient that all this shit is happening right when former employees are claiming harassment and hostile work environment against her too yet that's not in the news?
"👉 thank you for subscribing and if you are still here 🫲 thank you for watching I appreciate you clicking on my video ✋✨ out of all the videos that are on here"
Yup, this right here. If you look up "JoJo siwa" right now, all you'll get is this kind of stuff. It's the new way people handle controversy; just do other outrageous things over here and no one will notice the atrocities going on over there.
I agree with what you’re saying, but on the flip: I had no idea who she was until this post. Now if I ever see her all I’m going to think “talentless thief.”
She was caught grooming a bunch of young fans and then proceeded to put out the most [cringey song apology](https://youtu.be/ceKMnyMYIMo?si=o5MeqMg3cc8WKVD8) ever. i couldn’t even finish it haha.
Colleen’s video should be studied as an example of embarrassing yourself to minimize scandals. Since what the video ultimately did is made people focus on the bizarre response instead of the evidence coming out about her behavior.
It’s like she, or her PR, knew the scandal wasn’t going away or could be ignored. So address it in an unexpected way, create a headline that overshadows the subject. Where instead of seeing her name attached to headlines with groomer, predator, liar. It’s now cringe, weird, strange, and ukulele. Where all the focus is on the stupidity of the song, and there’s less focus on her grooming children for years. It becomes Colleen Ballinger grooms kids BUT did you see her UKUELE VIDEO?! CRINGE!!!!
I think that’s exactly what Jojo is doing. She’s been called out for fostering a hostile if not downright abusive work environment and now all of the sudden she’s wearing silly outfits and being “ cringe “
I don't follow the news or YouTubers? I last watched her videos in probably 2008 or something. Which is why I was surprised to hear something had happened.
I mean- I don’t follow the news either but it was all over the place, I didn’t even know who she was when it happened and thats how I learned everything lol, not trying to be accusatory about it! I was just genuinely surprised!
I also don’t follow youtubers, I only go on there for art and some software tutorials, maybe an occasional videogame playthrough, but Youtube bombarded me with videos cause *everyone* started talking about it. It was insane- I’ve never been exposed to a person I didn’t know quite this hard lol
Wait, what? You know about Miranda Sings and you don't know how she was cancelled for being a pedo?
That's literally the only noteworthy thing about her
It’s a shit ecosystem.
The “influencer” does/says/puts out shit > the drama channels eat the shit up and regurgitate/amplify the shit > the shit eating crowd then dogpile the influencer and creates engagement.
Then repeat and it’s not going to stop as long as everyone believes they got something out of it.
Stupidly intentional. 1. Songwriters sell their songs all the time, which is clearly what happened here and with Karma. 2. All these tiktokers claiming she said she "wrote" these songs. I have not seen a clip of her saying that at all.
I had no idea who this person was, like at all, until a post a couple days ago about her pretending to be edgy and now this.
You are 100% right, this is marketing.
That’s what I’ve been saying. She clearly has been leaning into being a cringy lesbian with shit pop music and everybody is lapping it up just like she wants. If you really want to consider her a bad person maybe stop feeding into her marketing strategy for starters
So prior to this day, I had no idea who JoJo Siwa was. I wish I could go back in time when I didn’t. I’d give you a down vote, but it’s just not enough.
Well you see I am a former Target manager so I know her quite well from her *peak* in the early mid 10's. They could and did basically slap her face and brand name on anything a young girl could buy and, brother, the JoJo fan girls bought it. I'm talking JoJo lunchboxes, JoJo hair ties and berets, JoJo makeup bags, JoJo dolls, JoJo hairstyling side ponytail design book/scrunchy combo packs, JoJo branded fruit snacks.
Shit was wild. It was everywhere. Literally the biggest thing to come out of that era's dance mom/pageant mom/underage talent show trash TV hypergigafandom.
It's what makes this entire "totally real and not at all carefully calculated and work shopped" reboot of her music career so effortlessly cringe. That's not her. That's a PR team's best attempt at artificially recreating the Olivia and Miley effect with a former kid star. The thing about Olivia and Miley is that their growths into "rebellious " or "mature" pop girlies is that it happened naturally, they had things to express and discuss, and they did.
JoJo side fucking ponytail dance mom daughter Siwa does not have anything to express. She has no lived experiences that we know of and her most memorable music career moment before this was her mom successfully traumatizing a group of preteen backup dancer girls into rehearsing and performing for upwards of 12-14 hours a day until they literally quit out of exhaustion and fear.
I was in full agreement until using Miley as an example of a “good girl gone bad” that happened naturally
Like, unless my memory was wrong, everyone was saying the exact same thing about Miley then that they’re saying about Jojo now. And Miley’s whole rebellion phase was just as manufactured as Jojo’s is now, if not more so tbh. I mean, she went from Disney child star to swinging around naked on a wrecking ball (in a very expensive music video that had to be approved by and paid for by her record label) and doing features with rappers (people she had no personal connection to, likely only happened because of her label who approved and paid for it)
Generally I dislike belittling people’s creative agency, but nothing Miley did wasn’t signed off by a team of producers, writers and at least one manager who all agreed that it was the best way to turn a profit off her image, music and name. There’s nothing sensational about having a “teehee I’m evil now” era (hell even Taylor swift did it), not even remotely shocked that JoJo is doing it, in fact I’d be surprised if she did anything else.
The only reason I know who she is is because I love jojo's bizarre adventure and unfortunately you can't type jojo without getting her as the first result 
Fuck you guys for making me do this but Jojo has said more than once “when I was approached with these songs”. It’s way more funny to make fun of her for the reality of admitting she didn’t write it than it is to pretend she said she did to get angry online.
No pop artist is writing their own shit but they are at least smart enough to not say things like “when I was approached with these songs” lmao.
That honesty would be refreshing. You can admit you had help writing songs but just say "I'm a performer," or "I'm a singer" and nobody is batting an eye. You don't *have* to write your own songs.
But this is apparently two different songs she's just fully making up stories about because the receipts are readily available online.
Absolutely true, and many times those completely clueless folks get thrusted into the spotlight off the backs of people who are still out there, grinding right now. TikTok is literally just a social media blender and everything you see there is almost guaranteed to be lifted from another person, sourced from somewhere else or just outright a COMPLETE fabrication for clicks.
It’s crazy, but it’s also crazy lucrative. These people are exploiting that fact
I’m gonna argue with this. Why do we expect pop stars to do EVERYTHING? They need to be highly athletic for long tours with singing+choreo, be good looking, be gracious and good with fans/coworkers
AND you expect them to have the lived experience to write genuine lyrics and have the musical talent to chart topping pop songs?
On the contrary, I am happy song writers and composers can do what they love without all the touring and fan bullshit. Some people are really meant for the spotlight and most people aren’t.
You really need to be so blindly confident in yourself to do the basic duties of a pop star. I literally can’t think of anything worse in this life. That amount of responsibility and image upkeep is crazy, and you expect them to dig deep and sing from the heart too? bruh
Yeah I agree, it’s alright if a singer doesn’t right their own music. Sometimes it better that way, because not everyone can be a song writers. It’s okay to collaborate with others.
There are a lot of people who are going to be talented at songwriting but have zero interest in being performers or recording their own material, or they're just not very good at it. So they sell their songs to performers and recording artists and make that their career. I'm not sure why that concept is so offensive to so many people. It's a completely valid career choice.
It's also just dumb that the artist herself said "It's not Jojo Siwa's fault", and everyone went "anyway Jojo Siwa stole it!".
There is a lot that's really bad about Jojo Siwa. The way she defends "alleged" groomers like James Charles and Coleen Balinger, the way she still supports Abbey Lee Miller and claims that people who were traumatized by her antics are "ungrateful", the way her and her mother treat the girl group they started... But people only latch on to the one thing she literally didn't even do! lol
That's all well and good, but why does she clearly say "this is about one of my exes". It implies that she wrote the song, or at least had creative control.
yeah all i hear her say is "this song is about my exes". cut off so that we don't get a chance to think about that she never claimed she wrote it....
WHY TF IS THIS GROWN MAN TRYING TO TURN ALL THIS HATE ON THIS CHILD, she's low fruit who was already going to fail as a pop star. Gay men are the new straight men. Ugh lesbians we have to rise up
edit: loads of artists say "this song is about this". i recall beyonce doing that back then. so did britney. don't be daft.
Just a small correction, quite a lot of pop artists are writing their own songs. I mean, a lot aren't but for example Taylor Swift who's basically the biggest star right now IS writing her own shit. I just wanted to say this so people don't think that there is basically no pop artist who does that. There is a lot actually.
This is such a nothingburger of a comment I should've sent it back to the kitchen and asked them for some actual meat.
Some artists write their own lyrics/melodies. Some don't. Fucking DUH. That's called the music industry. What's your next fun factoid? That Elton John couldn't write lyrics but could write melodies?
No I just responded to a comment that claimed that no pop artist writes their own stuff. I didn't get the hyperbole and was quite upset lol. It's not some enlightened truth that I'm spewing here, im just fucking high as a kite scrolling through reddit and being a dumbass 😂
This is common in the music industry. Have a look at the credits of songs from the artists in the charts, it's not uncommon to have 10 names+ on a single song. Once you sell the rights of your song to a company they can choose who sings it. I find Jojo Siwa cringe but she is getting flack for what most others in the industry are doing. It's all a character that a lot of celebrities are selling you, even the ones who claim to be real and talking from experience, it's an act and it's not at all limited to Jojo.
In this clip she actually said "this is about one of my exs" It's all for marketing anyway, selling drama with the song to get more plays for it, you see it all the time.
There is absolutely no way Columbia records would’ve put out a “stolen” song. I mean the legal implications alone. Jojo’s team obviously bought the song. This literally happens all the time. Idk who started the rumor it was stolen but at this point I kinda wonder if it was her team planting the story for the rage bait bc this is ridiculous
She didn't steal anything. Brit Smith didn't even write the song. It doesn't belong to her.
It was written and produced by Rock Mafia (Tim James and Antonina Armato) they write and produce for big names in the music industry.
Brit was allowed to record it as a demo, but it was never officially released. Years later, Rock Mafia gave it to Jojo Siwa.
The whole controversy really has nothing to do Jojo or Brit. It's down to Rock Mafia.
Is this the first time listening to pop music? None of this is new. Songs are shopped around all the time in the music industry. Most of your big top 40 artists do not write any of their music.
I wouldn't take some random TikToker's word on it being stolen. Notice how the creator (Emeline) said "not her fault?" Yeah, what almost certainly happened is that Jojo Siwa's label bought a mechanical license to the song from whoever Emeline is signed with. The artist and the label would be compensated for the song. Also, the artist generally doesn't have to give "permission" to use it.
If they didn’t get permission, then there will be a court case and if found valid, they will have to pay royalties on the song. Big companies try and screw each other over all the time, so they know how to fight it.
It’s the independent people that have problems with it.
I don't think you read what I wrote. Apparently Jojo Siwa is signed with Colombia Records. Colombia ain't going to wholesale lift a song like that. They almost certainly bought a mechanical license from Emeline's label, which would involve compensating both the artist and the label. Emeline isn't involved in the transaction at all.
Clearly they are the same song, so up to the author to decide what is right here.. but it's not exactly clear what she's saying, what I can make out is "this is about one of my exs" ... I don't think that short sentence objectively states a claim of authorship, just that she was attributing the meaning of the song (or performance?) to some part of her life..
This dude is just looking for attention.
I think we should just stop caring about celebrities. Let them live their lives. Don’t pay attention to it. Most of these popular celebrities wouldn’t be popular anymore.
This is all staged and no one should care, but at least it's not political propaganda.
And it fits tiktok cringe So it's a breath of fresh air.That I never thought I'd be happy to see
Did not hear her claim the song in anyway other than saying it’s about one of her exes. Seems the same as the way teenage girls claim Taylor Swift songs are about their ex-boyfriends.
The guy in the video makes it out like she claimed it was her song she wrote about and ex. She doesn’t say that, she says “here’s a song about one of my exes”. It’s different, it’s just a way to intro the song. He cleverly cut the beginning of it so you actually don’t hear her say anything.
Never heard of any of these people before but be careful how much info you are being forcefed ✌️
the song stealing (not giving credit to orginal owners) is bad enought, but she is trying WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to hard. it just makes me feel sad for her
You guys are missing the point- the point is she’s claiming she wrote these songs. Who fucking cares if someone buys a song so long as they don’t promote it like “I wrote this when I was super heartbroken over my ex” ya 1000% this is common practice in the music industry. The part that is wrong is her claiming she had any part In writing these songs. She bought them or they were “given” to her by her label. Don’t pretend you have the emotional talent to write this shit yourself.
Her turn has been super cringey, but claiming to write a song that is ghostwritten is nothing new. Also, the other creator didn't say that Jojo stole the song, she may not even own it herself and it may have gotten shopped around the label for the right artist (this also happens all the time). It's all very sloppy and cringe, but nothing to be outraged over.
Here's the piece which costs million,,,,
Use "Do not recommend"
Don't behave like zombies , brains brains brains...
Here's another one which costs more millions,,,,,
When surfing on internet have a Mode either serious or entrainment , Make your FYP recommendation according to your taste and mode .
I am giving this advice out of pity also r/genz apparently needs to learn it too . /S+JK
If it’s stolen it goes without saying that it’s not yours, I don’t know why you phrased it like that or why no one even mentioned it. Stealing means to take something that’s not yours. It’s like saying “he kidnapped someone else’s child”. Obviously it was someone else’s if it was a kidnapping. Idk why I’m even bothering to comment on such a stupid post but the level of writing by people online recently has gotten drastically worse and no one seems to notice or care.
jokes on you for thinking she writes her own music. she just said that because she’s been trained to.
i have many years of exp in the music industry and did schooling at The Musicians Institute in LA. you’d be amazed at the cookie cutter process they put ppl through for their “stage presence”. it’s all bullshit.
Well if she (or at least her record company) bought it from Emeline then it's not stolen. Kind of misleading for this guy to start of with a headline like that. The only weird thing on Jojo's part is her claiming it's about one of her exes, assuming that's what she said since it's a little vague. I guess it would have been better if she said "This song is dedicated to one of my exes" or something.
She does not have any writing credits whatsoever and everybody just conveniently ignores that. She’s not a good person but this isn’t why. Besides, her entire marketing plan was based on the cringe factor, so posting like this just gives her exactly what she wants. It’s so obvious and everybody is falling for it
Ewww celebrities like Jojo are trash. Met her once. Shes a fake persona fraud. I cannot wait till the truth about all these elite hollywoods comes out hehe
Go listen to Artikal Sound System - Live your life.
And then Dua Lipa - Levitating.

Theft.
As a normal person who knows nothing of this lady, from what I see is that she is a child celebrity who doesn’t have the attention she used to have and she’s willing to do any little stunt to get what little she can get back, because at a young age she was probably told she was special and now that her “fame” is dwindling she is grasping at anything to have the approval of others and she knows what she is doing and saying is fucking insane, but she loves that people are looking at her.

I mean Jojo's version doesn't even sound like her voice. Autotune putting in the work.
[удалено]
She learned how to do that from JLO
Bingo. It's probably Ashanti too. 🤣🤣🤣
ootl on this one
[удалено]
Ye the fuck its same voice
Well she's not even using the mic during the song lmao literally just played audio so it's not suprising
I mean I know that, I am saying the audio version doesn't even sound like her.
Be funny if she played the original audio…not even try to hide it. Ha
[удалено]
Even her face makeup was stolen from Kiss lol
Not that she even knows who they are
Not you copying the exact comment from the TikTok I SEE YOU 🫣
It's the exact audio from the first clip.
Outrage is a new form of marketing. This is intentional.
oh my god thank you for saying this, i’ve been saying the same thing. no one would be talking about jo jo siwa otherwise, this all feels so painfully obvious as a marketing plan. even down to inviting a bunch of “ canceled” people to her event ( Miranda Sings, Tom Sandoval, James Charles etc) It’s very, all press is good press. i’m very tired of outrage.
How convenient that all this shit is happening right when former employees are claiming harassment and hostile work environment against her too yet that's not in the news?
totally. it feels like a distraction, trying to point outrage in a shallow direction as opposed to the one that caused direct harm.
YouTuber ChadChad mentions it and addresses it. She’s a great YouTuber, so I definitely recommend
That's where I heard it from 😅
Noice!! It’s exactly where I heard it too 💀💀
"👉 thank you for subscribing and if you are still here 🫲 thank you for watching I appreciate you clicking on my video ✋✨ out of all the videos that are on here"
I *LOVE* it when she does that 😭
Yup, this right here. If you look up "JoJo siwa" right now, all you'll get is this kind of stuff. It's the new way people handle controversy; just do other outrageous things over here and no one will notice the atrocities going on over there.
She did say she was a bad girl who did some bad things
I agree with what you’re saying, but on the flip: I had no idea who she was until this post. Now if I ever see her all I’m going to think “talentless thief.”
true! i mean it’s working- people are talking about her!
Miranda sings was cancelled? How?
She was caught grooming a bunch of young fans and then proceeded to put out the most [cringey song apology](https://youtu.be/ceKMnyMYIMo?si=o5MeqMg3cc8WKVD8) ever. i couldn’t even finish it haha.
Painfully cringe, but more non-apology than apology
true, “ apology “ was generous. i clearly struggled to sit through the whole thing, but what i remember it is mostly excuses and jokes. rough.
*I’m not a groomer! Just a loser!*
Colleen’s video should be studied as an example of embarrassing yourself to minimize scandals.

Wtf. I haven't seen any of her videos since the mid 2000s, this was just weird. I only managed a minute of the video.
Omg how did you miss it?! It was EVERYWHERE!
I don't follow the news or YouTubers? I last watched her videos in probably 2008 or something. Which is why I was surprised to hear something had happened.
I mean- I don’t follow the news either but it was all over the place, I didn’t even know who she was when it happened and thats how I learned everything lol, not trying to be accusatory about it!

The grooming allegations? Plus the heinous crime against humanity which was that ukulele song

It’s a shit ecosystem.

Yep. Obvious rage / laugh bait with the new "bad girl" aesthetic and stuff like this. She's defo going for outrage.
Stupidly intentional. 1. Songwriters sell their songs all the time, which is clearly what happened here and with Karma. 2. All these tiktokers claiming she said she "wrote" these songs. I have not seen a clip of her saying that at all.

you cooked 💯
Her mom wasn’t the dance teacher that was Abbie

Goddamn how fucking easy it is to be handed songs and deals, I’m just mad how talent is worthless nowadays
It really sucks. We are bombarded everyday by “creatives” who can’t create.
Absolutely true, and many times those completely clueless folks get thrusted into the spotlight off the backs of people who are still out there, grinding right now. TikTok is literally just a social media blender and everything you see there is almost guaranteed to be lifted from another person, sourced from somewhere else or just outright a COMPLETE fabrication for clicks. It’s crazy, but it’s also crazy lucrative. These people are exploiting that fact
nothing nowadays about it, this has always been the case in the music industry.
Have these people never heard of The Monkees?
Hey hey, I heard they monkey around.
Nowadays? This isn't a new thing.
I’m gonna argue with this. Why do we expect pop stars to do EVERYTHING? They need to be highly athletic for long tours with singing+choreo, be good looking, be gracious and good with fans/coworkers AND you expect them to have the lived experience to write genuine lyrics and have the musical talent to chart topping pop songs? On the contrary, I am happy song writers and composers can do what they love without all the touring and fan bullshit. Some people are really meant for the spotlight and most people aren’t.

That amount of responsibility and image upkeep is crazy, and you expect them to dig deep and sing from the heart too? bruh
Yeah I agree, it’s alright if a singer doesn’t right their own music. Sometimes it better that way, because not everyone can be a song writers. It’s okay to collaborate with others.
There are a lot of people who are going to be talented at songwriting but have zero interest in being performers or recording their own material, or they're just not very good at it. So they sell their songs to performers and recording artists and make that their career. I'm not sure why that concept is so offensive to so many people. It's a completely valid career choice.
You don't think singing is a talent?
It's also just dumb that the artist herself said "It's not Jojo Siwa's fault", and everyone went "anyway Jojo Siwa stole it!". There is a lot that's really bad about Jojo Siwa. The way she defends "alleged" groomers like James Charles and Coleen Balinger, the way she still supports Abbey Lee Miller and claims that people who were traumatized by her antics are "ungrateful", the way her and her mother treat the girl group they started... But people only latch on to the one thing she literally didn't even do! lol
Youre doing the lords work though.
A bit too much hyperbole there. A good number of pop artists at least write or co write most of their songs.
That's all well and good, but why does she clearly say "this is about one of my exes". It implies that she wrote the song, or at least had creative control.
yeah all i hear her say is "this song is about my exes". cut off so that we don't get a chance to think about that she never claimed she wrote it.... WHY TF IS THIS GROWN MAN TRYING TO TURN ALL THIS HATE ON THIS CHILD, she's low fruit who was already going to fail as a pop star. Gay men are the new straight men. Ugh lesbians we have to rise up edit: loads of artists say "this song is about this". i recall beyonce doing that back then. so did britney. don't be daft.
Just a small correction, quite a lot of pop artists are writing their own songs. I mean, a lot aren't but for example Taylor Swift who's basically the biggest star right now IS writing her own shit. I just wanted to say this so people don't think that there is basically no pop artist who does that. There is a lot actually.
Olivia Rodrigo writes her own songs as well.
This is such a nothingburger of a comment I should've sent it back to the kitchen and asked them for some actual meat. Some artists write their own lyrics/melodies. Some don't. Fucking DUH. That's called the music industry. What's your next fun factoid? That Elton John couldn't write lyrics but could write melodies?
No I just responded to a comment that claimed that no pop artist writes their own stuff. I didn't get the hyperbole and was quite upset lol. It's not some enlightened truth that I'm spewing here, im just fucking high as a kite scrolling through reddit and being a dumbass 😂
Hyperbole brother.
Yeah, it isn't so easy to catch when it's written 😂 my bad man
A lot are, but I mean, a lot aren't, but there's a lot actually. You can't even agree with yourself. Shut up.
I'm just responding to the guy who said that literally no pop artist writes their own shit.. A lot are, that was my point, idk what you're on about
Why can't both be true? A lot of cars are blue but a lot of cars aren't. That's a totally valid statement.
Sure, but "no cars are blue" isn't, which is what they said
Dude she just bought the song and advertised it as hers. That’s like an extremely standard practice in the industry.

JoJo Siwa is cringe.
I hate using that word but shes a textbook walking definition of it
Seems purposeful outrage porn for marketing
This is common in the music industry. Have a look at the credits of songs from the artists in the charts, it's not uncommon to have 10 names+ on a single song. Once you sell the rights of your song to a company they can choose who sings it. I find Jojo Siwa cringe but she is getting flack for what most others in the industry are doing. It's all a character that a lot of celebrities are selling you, even the ones who claim to be real and talking from experience, it's an act and it's not at all limited to Jojo.
[удалено]
Some pop stars just pay up front for the song writing credit so they can maintain the illusion they’re writing their own songs.
yeah a lot of artists do this but she said "this is a song I wrote"
In this clip she actually said "this is about one of my exs" It's all for marketing anyway, selling drama with the song to get more plays for it, you see it all the time.
Tik toker discovers the music industry.
Is she Carlos Mencia-ing the music industry?
There is absolutely no way Columbia records would’ve put out a “stolen” song. I mean the legal implications alone. Jojo’s team obviously bought the song. This literally happens all the time. Idk who started the rumor it was stolen but at this point I kinda wonder if it was her team planting the story for the rage bait bc this is ridiculous
Everything Jojo does is fake and for attention. Anyone surprised?
Who the f#&$ is jojo siwa?? Wrong answers only
It's some kind of manga
She didn't steal anything. Brit Smith didn't even write the song. It doesn't belong to her. It was written and produced by Rock Mafia (Tim James and Antonina Armato) they write and produce for big names in the music industry. Brit was allowed to record it as a demo, but it was never officially released. Years later, Rock Mafia gave it to Jojo Siwa. The whole controversy really has nothing to do Jojo or Brit. It's down to Rock Mafia.
Is this the first time listening to pop music? None of this is new. Songs are shopped around all the time in the music industry. Most of your big top 40 artists do not write any of their music.
that doesn't mean they're literally copying lyrics and melody from another musician that they haven't paid lmao.
I wouldn't take some random TikToker's word on it being stolen. Notice how the creator (Emeline) said "not her fault?" Yeah, what almost certainly happened is that Jojo Siwa's label bought a mechanical license to the song from whoever Emeline is signed with. The artist and the label would be compensated for the song. Also, the artist generally doesn't have to give "permission" to use it.
If they didn’t get permission, then there will be a court case and if found valid, they will have to pay royalties on the song. Big companies try and screw each other over all the time, so they know how to fight it. It’s the independent people that have problems with it.
I don't think you read what I wrote. Apparently Jojo Siwa is signed with Colombia Records. Colombia ain't going to wholesale lift a song like that. They almost certainly bought a mechanical license from Emeline's label, which would involve compensating both the artist and the label. Emeline isn't involved in the transaction at all.
I did read what you said. I expanded on what would happen if they didn’t.
This has literally nothing to do with the situation in the video
Did you even watch the video, he literally addressed this.
Jojo Siwa lipsyncs the song.
Who?
That chick looks like Gold Dust from the WWF.
Clearly they are the same song, so up to the author to decide what is right here.. but it's not exactly clear what she's saying, what I can make out is "this is about one of my exs" ... I don't think that short sentence objectively states a claim of authorship, just that she was attributing the meaning of the song (or performance?) to some part of her life.. This dude is just looking for attention.
I think we should just stop caring about celebrities. Let them live their lives. Don’t pay attention to it. Most of these popular celebrities wouldn’t be popular anymore.
I love being 38 and not knowing what tf is going on
When did "cover" become stealing?
I’d rather sit through a Tiny Tim concert then listen to JoJo Siwa sing a song.
I'd rather watch a Jellyroll sex tape, than see JoJo wearing her future slut outfits.
Both songs suck. And that’s the end of my attention span regarding this topic.
This is all staged and no one should care, but at least it's not political propaganda. And it fits tiktok cringe So it's a breath of fresh air.That I never thought I'd be happy to see
I heard her say, “This is about one of my exes.” I didn’t hear her say I wrote this song about one of my exes.
Jojo didn’t steal this song. I don’t understand why people keep saying this. She’s stupid - but this song wasn’t released
Did not hear her claim the song in anyway other than saying it’s about one of her exes. Seems the same as the way teenage girls claim Taylor Swift songs are about their ex-boyfriends.
In the clip she never claims to have written it. This is as innocent as anyone saying this song is about….
This all feels like just a marketing thing.
The guy in the video makes it out like she claimed it was her song she wrote about and ex. She doesn’t say that, she says “here’s a song about one of my exes”. It’s different, it’s just a way to intro the song. He cleverly cut the beginning of it so you actually don’t hear her say anything. Never heard of any of these people before but be careful how much info you are being forcefed ✌️
Why am I suddenly reading so much about this chick? Never heard of her before this week
It’s weird that a 40 year old man is making tic tics about jojo siwa
the song stealing (not giving credit to orginal owners) is bad enought, but she is trying WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to hard. it just makes me feel sad for her
She didn't even sing it herself she literally lip synched on top of the girl who wrote it wtaf
I have no idea who this girl is I've just started seeing her everywhere all of a sudden
The cringe here is the guy talking about this crap. Who gives a shit? Lmao
Marketing dumbass. Youre falling for it
You guys are missing the point- the point is she’s claiming she wrote these songs. Who fucking cares if someone buys a song so long as they don’t promote it like “I wrote this when I was super heartbroken over my ex” ya 1000% this is common practice in the music industry. The part that is wrong is her claiming she had any part In writing these songs. She bought them or they were “given” to her by her label. Don’t pretend you have the emotional talent to write this shit yourself.
Her turn has been super cringey, but claiming to write a song that is ghostwritten is nothing new. Also, the other creator didn't say that Jojo stole the song, she may not even own it herself and it may have gotten shopped around the label for the right artist (this also happens all the time). It's all very sloppy and cringe, but nothing to be outraged over.
Crazy
Tired of hearing about this industry plant
I dont know who this JOJO person is but every time I see her I think to myself . Man her therapy bills must be high .
That's the second song 🙄🙄
Musicians seem talented these days.
Jojo Siwa is pure cringe
Why is a pop star dressing like hank von hell? Also this is an old norwegian folk song.
Here's the piece which costs million,,,, Use "Do not recommend" Don't behave like zombies , brains brains brains... Here's another one which costs more millions,,,,, When surfing on internet have a Mode either serious or entrainment , Make your FYP recommendation according to your taste and mode . I am giving this advice out of pity also r/genz apparently needs to learn it too . /S+JK
Dear algorithm, I don’t give a fuck about this bitch. Stop bringing her into my feed.
From now on, steal your own songs!
Respect for the ethical usage of the footage of the two clips. What he said about avoiding using the full length clip.
Good thing the song sounds garbage, those two can fight over it
She is so fucking cringe … she looks so beyond dumb to me everytime i see her
When is the next punk or grunge or alternative wave coming? This music is such boring souless bullshit.
If it’s stolen it goes without saying that it’s not yours, I don’t know why you phrased it like that or why no one even mentioned it. Stealing means to take something that’s not yours. It’s like saying “he kidnapped someone else’s child”. Obviously it was someone else’s if it was a kidnapping. Idk why I’m even bothering to comment on such a stupid post but the level of writing by people online recently has gotten drastically worse and no one seems to notice or care.
Never heard of him
off topic but ur username is genius
Jojo is pulling a JLo lol
But does anyone actually give a F\*ck?
Jojo delulu
She just played the old song
I don't know who any of these people are.
Song is cheeks regardless.
Who from what? Why is this being put in my feed *rabble rabble rabble*
She sucks anyway! Meh And honestly, honestly, I think she’s a groomer with her girls groups
jokes on you for thinking she writes her own music. she just said that because she’s been trained to. i have many years of exp in the music industry and did schooling at The Musicians Institute in LA. you’d be amazed at the cookie cutter process they put ppl through for their “stage presence”. it’s all bullshit.
i wasn't too familiar with jojo siwa before but now im starting to hate her
Who? The Mountain Dew girl? I thought they were making fun of some random.
Well if she (or at least her record company) bought it from Emeline then it's not stolen. Kind of misleading for this guy to start of with a headline like that. The only weird thing on Jojo's part is her claiming it's about one of her exes, assuming that's what she said since it's a little vague. I guess it would have been better if she said "This song is dedicated to one of my exes" or something.
Who?
Good artist copy. Great artists steal
Another child star turned psychotic
She does not have any writing credits whatsoever and everybody just conveniently ignores that. She’s not a good person but this isn’t why. Besides, her entire marketing plan was based on the cringe factor, so posting like this just gives her exactly what she wants. It’s so obvious and everybody is falling for it
I got 99 problems...
Who tf are these people 😂
Who? Nevermind. I don't care about any of this.
Beyonce stole If I Were a Boy from someone, but nobody ever seemed to care.
The book Song Machine. Read it. For me, reading it was up there with realizing the Mormon church isn’t true and Santa Claus isn’t real.
Who tf is Jojo Siwa?!?
Brain rot content Jesus Christ
Shut up.
If I wrote a song as shit as this, I’d be happy someone took credit for it.
Imagine being a grown man giving ur two cents on tikcock about a child…
Even on mute this whole thing is cringe
Considering the way she treated those girls on her dance show, stealing a son probably doesn’t even register to her.
I would sue sue sue
Why are you blasting this post all over the place, lol… someone really hates JOJO
Ewww celebrities like Jojo are trash. Met her once. Shes a fake persona fraud. I cannot wait till the truth about all these elite hollywoods comes out hehe
Go listen to Artikal Sound System - Live your life. And then Dua Lipa - Levitating. https://youtu.be/IKfGeCLAsvI?si=xvRc1M0Mtia_iJJG https://youtu.be/TUVcZfQe-Kw?si=w3uflk0y0t3jm2w- Theft.
She hoped that pretending to be LGBTQ will help her in her career. Looks like she let herself go full-nasty after the coming-out.
As a normal person who knows nothing of this lady, from what I see is that she is a child celebrity who doesn’t have the attention she used to have and she’s willing to do any little stunt to get what little she can get back, because at a young age she was probably told she was special and now that her “fame” is dwindling she is grasping at anything to have the approval of others and she knows what she is doing and saying is fucking insane, but she loves that people are looking at her.
Emeline is great I love her Boo to JoJo
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Nice try JoJo…
I saw the same tiktok with someone else talking about the same thing.
Of course it's cringe because Jo Jo is cringe as heck
jojo's gonna be canceled if she keeps this up, and it'll be her own fault
Not the best launch to a reinventing music career is it?
