HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
Hi All,
I've been reading some of your comments, and though I would answer some of the recurring questions you have been asking. In response to the question of my age, I am presently 17 yrs old. I will be 18 this year, on December 20th. Contrary to the information posted on my Wikipedia page, which has a ton of wrong information, my father is not, and never has been, a blues singer. He just likes to sing, and has a good voice. My mother did sing professionally. She was trained in musical theatre, and was a professional church soloist for many, many years. In regard to the question of my ethnicity,(which is wrong on Wikipedia again) I am Scottish, Irish, English and Polish on my mother's side, and French Canadian, Irish, and Native American on my father's side. And again, contrary to what Wikipedia says, no one hired an acting coach for me on the set of Aquamarine. The acting coach was hired for another actress, but all the leads worked with her. I have been acting since I was 4; did local theatre, and some radio and tv commercials in the New England area, and then national tv shows from age 7 on. I made my professional stage debut, at age 8, in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, in the role of Mustardseed, at the Huntington Theatre. I received my first union card from the American Federation of Television & Radio Artists(AFTRA) at age 10. In answer to the question about my dating Joe Jonas; No, we are not dating. We have been just friends for a couple years now.
There, I hope that answers some of your questions. Hope you all have a great Valentine's Day!
Love,
Jo xoxo

I wish she talked about what she's doing musically... But that was nice of her to clear all that stuff up.

Someone just edit her wikipedia page and write "Jojo confirmed her new album is with Def Jam Island and the first single 'O, I C U' is coming out April 27" or some bull, and maybe she'll address that too!

She's on Def Jam? I didn't know that. Hopefully, it's a change in the right direction. I know Def Jam is hit or miss.

She posted a new bulletin on MySpace
Hi Guys,
I am now recording my third album, which I hope to have out this fall. I'm planning to have a single out before then...stay tuned. I'm excited.
Love,
Jo

We love you, Jo!

I really wish "Coming For You" had been released. It would have been at least as big as TLTL.

I know, it was my favorite song on the album with TWYDM. But I am really excited to hear her new album! hopefully with better promotion. It's a shame this didn't go platinum since it had such huge potential.

She said the album is titled "All I Want Is Everything." She wrote and produced some of the tracks herself, but she's also worked with Timbaland, Polow da Don, and DJ Toomp. It'll be out late 2008. The movie will be out in the Fall.

Hopefully whoever is managing this album does f it up with the single releases like whoever picked the singles for "The High Road" did!!!!!! After "TLTL" it should've be "This Time", then "Coming For You", and to close "TWYDM"!!! 1.5 million in sales easily if they released the singles like that.
"All I Want Is Everything" is a great album title. Can't wait for the 1st single which should be released in the middle of the summer for a fall release!!!!!

Who wants to bet JoJo's next first single will sound like "Too Little Too Late", which sounded like "Leave (Get Out)"?

^^ i dont know about that.. i thought there was a big difference between the two. for one TLTL sounded alot more studio... and with the high notes and stuff. Leave was a stronger lower song. But to go with odds, her first single will probably be mid-tempo.

I think it sounded a little like it, but it wasn't a direct copy like most people say it was.. I think she'll start out with an upbeat song a la "The Way You Do Me" or (a less boring) "This Time", and then have the second single be mid-tempo.

i hope so. actually i wish she could lead with The Way You Do Me and then follow it with uptempo Coming For You. but don't even get me started on the single choices for THR

"Coming for You" is more mid-tempo than uptempo.
