She sounds like any member of a 90's/00's R&B girl group.....but not the lead vocalist of one... I'ma say no...

"Demonstrate" reminds me a mixed of Aaliyah "Come Over" and Drake "Marvin's Room"

That's probably what she wants. Yep. Ever since they shut down making the music video for "Anything," I feel she's just wanted to leave that horrible record company.

My only issue with Demonstrate is the uptempo part. They should cut that out and just let it be the sexy R&B jam it's meant to be.

Demonstrate can possibly give Jojo the needed traction. I think Urban stations could possibly gravitate to the song which would bode well for her. I hope she can finally catch a break after so many years of trying.

I don't really follow her like that so I could be wrong but I feel like Jojo has always been R&B with some pop leanings but has never gotten any recognition from urban radio. I don't know why that would suddenly change with one record but I really like her so I'm hopeful.

Demonstrate is sexy....it reminds me of TLC for some reason. Its a flop single thought. I dont know what they are thinking with this girl.

"Demonstrate" won against "Settle Down" on my local CHR's Jam It or Slam It last night.
To be fair, though, "Settle Down" already won two days in a row.

She confirmed in an interview with Vibe Vixen the album won't be called "Jumping Trains" anymore. The sound of the album has been totally revamped, and she's about halfway done. She going back in with 40 in a few weeks to finish up. She says the album is inspired by 90's R&B. She also attended the Teen Choice Awards yesterday:

Will Disaster still be on the album? I hope so, because that's tied with Too Little Too Late as my favorite song of hers.
And I like that casual look for her.

I wonder if she'll release another mix-tape of unreleased material since they've decided to scrap "Jumping Trains".

Releasing Jumping Trains would be awesome, cause I have a feeling that is the album I actually will have wanted in the end... Also, it's hard to believe that the album that does eventually get released will basically be the fifth that she's recorded.

Anyone else who watched Katy Perry Part Of Me thought of JoJo when they were talking about how Katy's old label held her as hostage and they probably didn't want to let her go because they knew she would become a big star with another label?
Think that's the same case with JoJo, she could be so big with the right label. Wish she would get signed to a great label and become the big star she deserves to be.

Jesus Christ what happened here? Things were looking up for a bit, but now it looks like the past 3 years just didn't happen. She's back to square one. AGAIN.
Girl, just give us Jumping Trains as a mix tape. I've been ready for it for far too long now.

Yeah, I figured we'd be testing that cd as a mixtape anyway (since she's recording more r&b stuff for the new cd) but I'm just over it all. I feel bad for her, her label is just...

What movie is she going to be in? Why can't she be released from her label? She deserves so much better.

Perhaps she'll release her next mixtape as a double disc, All I Want Is Everything and Jumping Trains?

^I'm pretty sure all the All I Want Is Everything material ended up on Can't Take That Away from Me.
I want that Jumping Trains mixtape ASAP. Blackground has made us wait too damn long.

What she had on CTTAFM is nowhere near the amount of tracks she recorded for AIWIE. Chad Hugo and Kenna alone had about 4 more tracks that are still unreleased from that project, along with Pharrell doing about 1-2 songs, Danja having about 2 more unreleased tracks, etc. She has about 4-5 albums worth of tracks that are in lingo.
