      fuck rocket money if yall want a good way to not worry about subscriptions dont rely on someone else just sign up with fake card that will still verify funds but never charge past a certain limit. privacy app creates fake cards that will process payment even with fake address information, so you can sign up for sketchy free trials and never have to even think about it with that level of security.

    I graduated high school in 2011 for reference. Katy Perrys i kissed a girl was WAY WAY more controversial lol. Can you imagine saying you created gay pop in the yr 2024 AFTER lil nas x GOT BUTT NAKED IN A VIDEO AND TWERKED HIS BLURRED BOOTY HOLE AT US.
    Edit: dear boomers. Yes I absolutely realize there are a million other references for gay pop or icons that made giant leaps for history in the music industry. I'm not ignoring those and I'm not claiming they don't exist I'm just saying that this is the most extreme I can think of. Once again I'm not a child I am in fact in my 30s. Lol I am totally old enough to have references for Elton John and Gene Simmons and Marilyn Manson and Madonna and all of that stuff. I just still think that Lil Nas X twerking his butternut squash at us is way more gay. Way way way way way way way way way way way more gay. If you had not seen that music video you need to go watch it because you're going to be shocked that you are shocked that Jack Harlow is with a woman. Lol

      I hold A LOT of empathy. I wonder if some of her harsher critics understand what kind of trauma came with Dance Moms. She's also only 21 and while I'm sure the immediate response would be "when I was 21 I knew better", Jojo didn't have the same childhood as most people. She was influenced by terrible people left and right, I genuinely think she doesn't understand why some of her behaviors aren't okay. I think she has a chance to grow into her own person, but not while there are so many critical eyes on her. She needs to get away from her mother, especially.

    The thing is at some point you have to be financially realistic about helping your kid achieve their dreams. There’s nothing wrong with encouraging your kid to have passion and goals (you should), but if it comes to the detriment of forcing your OTHER CHILDREN and SPOUSE into a financially precarious situation (esp when you were financially stable before this), then you need to reevaluate your decisions. Additionally, the fact that these parents were more than okay with letting someone abuse their kids (I do understand that contracts were involved) and decided to stay is absolutely wild.

    Lets be clear here. This is the same mom who put her 6yo daughter on tv. Not just tv but being on Abby's tv show. I have a 7yo daughter. You couldnt pay me enough to allow my child to be treated like garbage in front of a nationwide audience. Its just too young imo. Also on dance moms the MOMS were just as big a part of the show. So she wanted the spotlight too. Yet everyone is just shook when Jojo does crazy wild shit like what shes doing rn. Tbh i feel bad for Jojo.

    It's like she's just now hitting her 13 year old emo phase with all the pretentiousness of a suburban white child who thinks they know everything is just trying to be as edgy as possible without the understanding of what that actually means but it's a grown &ss adult woman with millions of dollars who thinks she can pretend she doesn't know who Gene Simmons is or that thinks she's the first person who invented gay music

  • @gyrthez246
    @gyrthez246 Před měsícem +9

    I think the way her Jojo's mother thrust her so far into the spotlight was the thing that set Jojo up for failure. She was branded as an innocent child star and was forced to keep playing into that narrative for many years at such a young and impressionable age to keep providing for her family.
    I hope Jojo is able to realise that she does not have to live in the spotlight to live a wonderful and fulfilling life, and I hope with that she's able to put this weird image behind her and move on to what she truly wants to do instead of doing what she or her mother thinks will draw or keep eyes.

    The thing is, Jojo is still young, and she was raised in the Dance Moms culture and is still managed by her mother. Yeah, she’s legally an adult, and I don’t think some of what she’s done is acceptable, but I just think we should be making sure we take this into consideration.

  • @sallthings3343
    @sallthings3343 Před měsícem +6

    I think Jojo is an industry plant. Like she went to a party, met some elite, sold her soul for extreme fame. She is trolling us. She didn't sing the song in her own way, she literally stole vocals too. Like a coverband or karaoke singer sings along with songs. She's in a world where its okay. Did she spend time with Diddy? What did she endure behind the scenes. Look up moms trafficking their kids to people like Abby. It isn't too off base to suspect. I'm not claiming I know anything! But if you deep dive that stuff you start thinking the worse. Sorry.

    Cost your children their opportunity to do what? Be miserable and get cheated out of money? Why would you want this “opportunity” for your child, or for them to be in that world? How do people keep falling for this same grift? Protect your kids. Clearly Jojo refuses to see that she was ever abused, and bc of that she has become an abuser/okay with abuse around her.

    Not to excuse Jojo's action, but she's been taught to just take whatever is thrown towards her way. Instead of teaching her that for example the way she was treated at Dance Moms is wrong, she was taught to deal with it.
    You un-learn to listen to your own needs and feelings. So when someone like Colleen comes around Jojo most likely pushes the weird feelings away... once again: she's been taught to accept inadequate behavior from adults towards her. Beinng an adult pleaser, not exactly a people pleaser.
    And we have no idea how the dynamics between her and her mom truly are. Maybe it's a Jeanette McCurdy situation. We don't know.

    About her being cruel to the children in the TV show... I feel like Jojo finds comfort in treating them the same way (or even worse) she was treated in Dance Moms. She probably thinks "the harsher, the better" because it makes them "tough". Either that or she's just plain evil. Not justificating, just an observation.

    It’s baffling to me when people are shocked when competition dancers are mean. It’s a damn viper pit. I lucked out because I was a boy and a champion, but I’ve seen how messed up it can be. Sorry. Dance Moms actually WARNED people. If you don’t want your kid to learn the law of the jungle real quick, PUT THEM IN RECREATIONAL DANCE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER. Don’t take them to a brutal championship studio. Feel bad for Leigha, but she should always have been a soloist and gone at her own pace. AGT would have EATEN THAT STORYLINE UP. I’ve been on AGT twice. I know how production thinks. Also, what is the carrot of stardom? You better dance because you love it. Because it’s thankless. If you’re doing it to be a star, you are asking for a world of pain. 😅
