Jojo go to Hollywood Records!!! lol.
Still, Jojo hasnt established herself well enough as a pop star to take that long of a break from doing music...She should re-think that decision.

There was a 2 year break between her debut and THR.. it's just another two year break between THR and her next album. It's next year.. not that long lol.
And yes, Jojo needs to leave Blackground ASAP. But not go to Hollywood. They will screw her over even more than Blackground has.

i think we can all agree that JoJo needs to politely split ways with Blackground, call it a good run and find another label that will put real money into her.

But I actually think Hollywood Records would do her right, they dont do Hilary very well, but at least they would have TWO money makers on that label instead of just Hilary. :\

If JoJo wants to kill her career, she'll go to Hollywood Records or stay with Blackground.
Let's face it -- HR is a Disney-esque label. JoJo isn't exactly a Disney-esque artist (not saying she doesn't appeal there, though). She's too mature and talented for her age for HR.

JoJo doesn't even deserve a part 2 thread -- this era is DEAD. yeah what the hell?? since we're all doing it, i'll throw in my two cents about the single that we'll never see released -- at least let it not be Let It Rain lol.

I think Motown would be better for her than Hollywood Records. Nevertheless, of the 3, Blackground is the best to stay at until she could find a better label: Geffen, Def Jam, Columbia, Warner (are they still around?), Atlantic (maybe not).

Neither is Hilary Duff, but she is with them along with Jesse McCartney. Hilary doesnt appeal to Disney at all, or with that audience, but she's still with them. If anything, JoJo would do better to get that Disney audience behind her, she'd be more successful. :)

and the very last thing JoJo should do is become another Disney goon!

JoJo has the vocal talent to be a huge superstar and I really hope she reaches the level of success her voice is worthy of. Her talent matches up there with the top female vocalists and not with the no talent lip syncing female pop stars.

And Jesse is the very epitome of a Disney artist..

Oh wow I must be going crazy or something because I had a dream that "This Time" was the next single and it was picking up spins.
Man I dream about weird things.

Ah that's great! I'm sure Interscope will manage her better than Blackground did, after screwing up both Libra and The High Road I'm just done with that label lol

Oh that is completely evident but hit singles not be hit singles is just stupid for radio and for the record company!!! I literally want to kill someone for not releasing "This Time" as a single!!!!! >:( Glad to see she has changed labels. Interscope should do a lot better promoting her and release the right singles. Also glad to her she will be working on her next album starting in January!!! :)

That doesn't necessarily suggest that he signed her, just that he's working with her. Unless it's impossible to separate the two - I don't really know how those relationships work. Anyway, it's a same CFY wasn't released here. That song is such a natural hit.

Isn't JoJo partly to blame for this doing poorly? She was the one who wanted 'How To Touch a Girl' released, correct?

^ to be fair, they didn't do ANY promotion outside of a video for 'How to Touch a Girl'. I bet if she had done some live TV Talkshow performances it would've helped her out.

It was still a terrible choice for a second single. Especially when she had some great potential hits on the album and following a smash like 'Too Little Too Late".

Anyway, it's a same CFY wasn't released here. That song is such a natural hit. You know, I thought about that after posting it. I'm not sure if the article is saying that he's still working with her despite starting the new label or that she's moving to the new label with him. I'm thinking that she moved with him because he's the president of Da Family and co president of Blackground, and if he signed her, I don't see why she wouldn't move with him. Also her official website has been redesigned and it's just listing Universal Music Group as her label and Blackground has been taken off. Interscope is owned by Universal Music Group.
