I appreciate her honesty.
JoJo is an amazing person.
I'm proud of her!
me2
Alain Bruno i do to. makes you feel...connected to her in a way. and you can relate as well. its good
I thought she was older, she's still so young and acts so mature! A good role model.
She's an old soul
Glad she's doing better! This industry is sick. More respect to you Jojo
"But I refuse to cry", "No tears will fall from these eyes" - Jojo
Glad she's back and got away from that ridiculous record label. I feel like if she didn't come out for 20 yrs we would still be here like, "Yes! JoJo's back." That won't work for everyone but it was highly anticipated. She can sing her butt off and she makes great music. There was never anything wrong with her size and regardless, she has the actual talent, always has. Ppl are beyond ridiculous. Glad she sued them. I've been rocking with her from the very first album and still listen to it.
its rediculous, it honestly makes me want to cry. Jojo was SKINNY...I think its disgusting that the music industry still wants women to be anorexic in order to pursue a career...i thought we were past that...Look at Adele for example. Jojo was NEVER overweight, she simply had a wholesome, healthy girl next door image that hollywood wasnt yet ready for. I appreciate women like Jojo who are true to themselves and dont try to emulate the cookie cutter ideals of hollywood!
Exactly what I was saying from what I remember Jojo was skinny! I was obsessed with her music as a kid she was a huge part of my childhood as well as Stacie Orrico (who I also can't wait for a comeback) like the fact that they think an artist can do great work when they are telling you to take diet supplements and your too fat when your weight is perfectly healthy is mindblowing to me. But I'm So happy my bae is back she is an artist her song with Alessia Cara is fire!!!
PREACH YALL...PREACH!!!!👏👏👏
Love JoJo she's too real
Ya
When Your Fav comes back 10 years later with A Lit ass song, dope features, amazing lyrics, outfits always on points, a world tour and a Full Album! Let me know. JOJO is QUEEN!
as much as i love jojo..... i'd have to disagree, mariah carey has the biggest comeback of all time
Darkrace12 I don't know her..
the shade i see xD
K Lu you cant use that on mariah...
Happy to know she's healthy and freaking BACK in the game.
She's so amazing and has been through so much.
Yes
I love this woman sooooo much she is absolutely amazing singer love her to pieces
all this time I thought she just didn't care to make anymore music and she was just a one hit wonder. really she was just being quieted and she was living in a hell . so sad man, if only we heard about this when it was happening and people could've helped her. but damn she is strong! to get knocked down for this many years, and to finally be able to come back swinging and better and stronger than ever, shows that she's in it for the right reasons. what a message she gets to share with the world now, and she's happier than ever and gets to use her deepest darkest moments to shed light into whomevers life that needs it.
Brian d same, I'm so sorry for her. but it's good to know that she came back stronger
From having suffered through eating disorders myself I find it disgusting how in the industry you would actually get people to make someone go on a crazy diet, a young girl too. It's revolting. Now she can stick her middle finger up at them, good on her. She's talented no matter what bloody size she is.
I grew up listening go Jojo and didn't realize how tough she had it and probably still has it. I am so happy to see her back at it because she truly has a beautiful voice that should not be wasted
Wow she's gotta be one of the realest celebs ever. Love her music and voice too!
I love Jojo. She is so strong. She is so talented. Been a fan since i was 11. 24 now and more of a fan than ever!! So proud of you girl! I knew you could come out on top, fuck your old label!!!!
Love her I'm proud of her
Honestly is so rare these days in the industry, she's so real, one of the many things you can love about her.
This chick is just amazing! I love her raw and honest she is, and just being opened with her words! Mad Love for her!!!
YOU GO GUUURLL!!!!! She's so amazing and so underrated :(
She's amazing
she looks exactly the same
Yes
Long Hair, Don't Care it’s genetics
July 2019 and I'm still bumping that album I was so happy when she came back and happy she's doing better....her and her singing was NEVER a problem but a gift
I feel so proud for her!!! Keep it up baby 💙
you are that good of a singer JoJo ...you are a rare gem in the music industry. One of a kind, so please dont ever change. Don't ever sell out girl!!
Am I the only one that has listened to her music faithfully since she left the scene? And yet, I didn't know that she was gone that long... lol
Her music is incredible
No.
I still remember when her songs 'get out' and 'too little too late came' out, I absolutely loved them and I loved her so much! And then she disappeared for a long time and I've always wondered what was going on and whether she would make music again. I'm sooo glad that she's back and I had no idea she was going through so much! I can't believe that her label pushed her to do those things! I'm glad she's back and stronger than ever! Wish her all the best!
She's only 25?!
i know i thought she was older, she's been in the industry for years
Ella Jackson Holy Moly
She's 26 now.
13 when she started
Best come back album!! Shes the best!
Yes
Mariah jojo she probably already has, listen to her song Hollywood, it describes everything she's experienced! and it's chilling
I love her talking voice and personality so much
Nomadic David I know right
1:40 She's got one of the best voices and techniques of anyone known in her age group and it's sad that she had to doubt that at some point.
Shes so special, an old soul
Her album is really good!
So happy she's back on the scene
I'm curious to know, where was her family when that label forced her to lose weight? did they ever intervene?
she told me how upset her mom was but she was of age at 18 - hope this helps answer your question and thanks for watching!
Kim Martin But all 3 of those women came back from the deep end stronger and wiser for their struggles. I'm glad how all of them showed resilience and never gave up.
I love her so much. I idolized her when she came out because we're the same age, have followed her ever since, and got to meet her early in October and she's just as nice as she seems. glad to see her star keep shining
She said she wishes she could have had an eating disorder. But what she doesn't understand is she most likely did. Eating disorders are not about being skinny, most people who struggle with this disorder are actually feeling so out of control that they want to gain a sense of control. Hurting themselves by not eating helps them feel like they are in control of something. It's very complicated and sad. I'm so thankful she has made it through and she's sharing her story. There are many people out there who can use this for motivation.
She's too real for that messed up industry.
JoJo is arguably one of the greatest singers of our time as far as Millennials go
She's back in her prime!! Full Force!!
Her smile.. Ughh.. so beautiful that it leaves me confused...stupidified... and epilepticly seazured. Love her.
Go JoJo!! 💕
I am so fucking proud of you JoJo. I've been a fan since your Leave (Get Out) days and still bump those tracks. Never stop chasing your dreams and please do continue to be a beacon for aspiring singers out there that you don't have to cave in to pressure or look a certain way... Your talent is what speaks. The rest is secondary. Be true to yourself, and the true ones will be right there rooting for you. Love you girl! And thanks for this interview!
I love this girl. I've been a huge fan since I was 10 years old. Always looked up to her as a role model even though we're only 3 years apart. Her music got me through some rough times. I still see her as a strong, determined woman.
The music industry is horrible!!! These celebrities are slaves. Lately a lot of music artists biopics are coming out to reveal the truth. Remember at the end of Fergie's song "Glamorous " she's say "the industry is cold, I'm glad my daddy told me so" Don't be fooled. It's not all glitz and glam .
I always wondered where she disappeared to!!! I was a fan and surprised that her career didn't take off because of how incredibly talented she was, now I see that she, like many, had her struggles/drawbacks with the industry!!! Glad she's back, and that she and her voice is stronger than ever!!!
i ADORE this woman. Her new album is everything. Please support her.
I'm so happy you are now free JoJo. I love you & your music and will always do. Be true to who you are & your music. Do what you love and you will always be victorious.
I LOVE HER! When I first heard her album 10 years ago I thought she was amazing! I still think she's amazing! I'm glad she's better now!
She's very talented
Not normal! No 15 year old has to ever go through that. Jojo you a queen. Forever love♥️
Love you Jojo❤❤❤❤🔒
She is so positive and seems her fans are the same. Needs to be more people like her
i think the last time i heard from her was her Marvins room remix, at least she's back noq
JoJo is incredible. This might sound corny, but I aspire to have her attitude, her drive, and of course her talent, she's a beast.
I have always loved this girl, such a genuine talent and a person
fuck! she inspires me!
JoJo you are the shit be yourself and you will kick it off hard this time great job much love
Messed up. Music industry stinks
Adeola O so true
Yeaaaa! Happy to hear your unique voice again! Glad you've overcome! 💪 ❤
She has a healthy, beautiful body. That is how girls should look like; not anorexic stick figures.
We love you JOJO!!!
She’s so talented and intelligent. Sometimes we hit rock bottom. Doesn’t mean it’s the end. It’s just a pit stop somewhere not nice, but more like an unpleasant pit stop. And we can get back into the car and keep driving.. Life is a journey.

Big things are coming for her! Still so young.
i love you jojo. inspiration to us and thank you for your honesty about the music industry
It's so funny to think about when i listened to her when i was going through some shit. So i am thankful for this beautiful soul. Because your music is key to allot of overcoming AND going through real life shit. The raw and real that speak the truth all you can do is show them that love back. No matter where this girl is at. I don't know shit about the industry but i can't even imagine. All we can do is show more love to the ones who have come so far.
Proud of you Jojo. Much respect.
Welcome back JoJo!
ahhhh i want to give her a hug
STRONG
More power to you 🙏🏼
She's Inspirational I love her!
Jojo is talking about the hcg "diet" which is a HORRIBLE thing to do usually thats for pregnant women not for men or for women that aren't preg. thats insane that record label had her on that shit, Thank god she has a strong mind and soul and said fck that and now she's better, Love you jojo!!!!
Im glad shes back
She's FABULOUS!!!!!!
Her talking voice is so amazing😊
JOJO awesome singer and person!!!
i am so proud of you #jojo I wish you all the best goodluck i believe in you ur one of d best... all the way here from the philippines 😊
I love her new album❤❤❤
Used to had a big crush on this lady. The business has taken toll on her. She looks older than 25 now.
She looks beautiful and like a woman. Idk what your problem is, but there is nothing wrong with how she looks.
I think she looks amazing. And she looks around 25 for me.
Such a brave spirit and rol model!
i guess that's the problem... it's 11 years now since the high road, a completely different generation are listening to music and most won't have heard of jojo at all. but i still hate that she's not a huge star anymore, she totally deserves it
waoww thats crazy.. im actually not surprised but im sure most people would still listen to her music and love her probably even more if she could just be herself♡ i wouldnt care what she looked like she is so talented either way
Jojo, you're awesome.
Love Jojo!!
Oh I didn't know her record label worked for modeling became it's not ok to hold someone's weight against their own career. Clearly they had nothing's to do with her looks.
I saw her in Charlotte she was great!
She is so underrated! They need to play her songs on the radio!
*Jojo >>>>>>>>> Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande* (don't judge) 😊😊❤❤
it is so sick what that label tried to do to a young girl. some people don't even care who they hurt as long as they make money off of hardworking people. I'm glad she is in a better place now
this is a smart interview
missed you Jojo
That was fuc*ed up how she had to live up to whoever threatened her they wouldn't release her music.
Pls be more famous than before. I’m so sick of taylor swift and katy perry
I think what she's talking about is HCG, my mom has done it a couple of times. I don't think it's that extreme and it does work but, that's fucked up to make someone do it when they don't need/want to.
ima always love her music regardless what her body weight is
Love you girl.
I❤Jojo.
you glow girl!!!🙇
Jojo is amazingly beautiful 😍
jojo! still a fan
I love you jojo❤️
she is real talent and beauty. she doesnt need to do that. but I understand.
I love her
