They've already fucked this release up. Blackground was a shitty label, but that was really half of the problem. Her management is terrible. The management firm she's signed to is based in Canada, and they don't know what it takes to make it in America, IMO. And the managers that work for her simply just do not have enough pull in the industry. Unfortunately, I don't see her leaving them anytime soon because they stuck with her through the label drama.
Another thing that happened, in the midst of recording the new stuff, is that the A&R who brought her to Atlantic, Aaron Bay-Schuck, left to take a position as the president of A&R over at Interscope. I wonder if we would've gotten these dry ass singles, had he still been A&Ring her project. Her bad luck in the industry continues...

My question is where the hell is the video? I assumed the radio push would be around the time the video was released... and we're still waiting on that.

Video premieres on Monday on MTV and MTV Hits will be playing it every hour. Well that's a start I guess. We still need the adds date. This is the type of song that could have benefitted from two adds date: one with the digital release and one with the video release in case the initial release didn't spark enough interest to really get it going on radio. With no adds date, this is doomed.

She got away from Blackground and got signed to a major, but her career is in the exact same spot. This is going nowhere.

Rooting for her. Also love to see "Say Love" released to radio. Both are jams.

Her body is banging and the twins are sitting, besides that the video was very meh. Too much hand over face choreography, not enough group choreography, and that section where it looks like she was going to have a dance break was underwhelming.

Just how amazing does she look. I have to admit i was watching her boobs almost the whole time lol. Simple but effective, glad she's back.

Atlantic putting the song out weeks before they actually release the video and send it to radio gives me Carly/IRLY teas :( but I hope I'm wrong and that things work out for JoJo despite this. I just don't know why any label thinks such a slow rollout benefits anybody.
I have to agree with Bmac that the video isn't much of an event. This is really just your typical 'beauty shots' kind of vid, but you spend the entire time thinking something more is going to happen because of all the hints of choreography. She looks stunning though, that counts for something.

The video isn't very good, but JoJo looks really good in it. That was enough for it to hold my interest. I was looking forward to seeing her dance a lot, but of course not.

Yeah, the video is really low energy. All those dancers and nothing really happens, lol. Can Jojo even dance though?
This song is cute, but it's just not enough. She needed to come back with something way stronger, instead she played it safe and now she's not going to grab anyone's attention.

Damn she's rocking some side boob in the video. The video itself is just fine, but she does look very good.
I wonder if this has a shot at taking off once it impacts radio...

She looks great (not surprising), but the video is boring.

My only problem with this video is that purple lipstick that makes her look 45. Nice video.. there's not much of a replay factor on it, but I like it..

Her face is giving me Alabama MILF while her body and cake are on full display. I am hoping for this project to do well but have lowered my expectations even more.

I was more slayed by the 45 second a capella video of the song. She has vocals for days.

The video was ok. I thought her body looked great but I didn't care for her hair. I don't think parted down the middle and straight suits her. She needs more volume. (just my opinion) It's obvious she probably isn't a great dancer. The director and choreographer probably could have made her dancing scenes look a little more lively. Oh well I still like the song and I don't really care all that much about videos anymore since their barely on Tv anymore. I would MUCH rather them spend their money on radio promo than video promo.

The video is such a disappointment. Where did those budget go?

I want her to do well, but she NEEDS a big push. I hope the next ones does better, because I do enjoy those more.

She had a moment with this (at least in NYC, the gays were living for her) and it's all disappeared. Literally, a flash in the pan.

They didn't even try with this. I don't know what the whole point of this "tringle" and video was.
