I cant wait!
Here's the full article.
NEW YORK — It's practically become a rite of passage for teen pop stars — if you want to cross over to the big screen, it might help to channel a little Joan Jett. That's what Britney Spears did in "Crossroads," when she sang along
Photos, audio and video from this story Hilary Duff, Ciara, Jojo, More At CosmoGirl!'s Born To Lead Awards to "I Love Rock 'N Roll," and now JoJo follows suit, in her upcoming film debut, "R.V."
"I made a conscious decision not to play a singer in a movie, so I'm definitely not [singing for real]," she said. "But in one of the scenes, I have to put on an iPod and just sing very off-key to a song I had no idea existed before, a song by Joan Jett. It's so out of character for me!"
Just don't ask her which song, because she can't remember. Is it "I Love Rock 'N Roll"? "No..." "Crimson and Clover"? "I don't remember! It's a lesser known song, but it was great," she said.
The 14-year-old singer/actress, who was honored in New York on Tuesday by CosmoGirl! at the magazine's Born to Lead Awards, finds it "weird" that although she shot "Aquamarine" first, her second film, "R.V.," will be considered her movie debut ("JoJo Gushes About 'R.V.' Adventure With Robin Williams"). "R.V." was shot this summer in Vancouver, British Columbia, and will be out in March. Meanwhile, "Aquamarine" was shot last year in Australia, but will be out one month later, in April (see "JoJo Says She's No Lindsay Lohan, Scrambles To Ready Herself For 'Aquamarine' "). "It all gets turned around really quick, huh?" she joked.
Now that she's got two films in the can, JoJo's returned to work on her first love, music. For the first time in two and a half years, she's hunkering down in the recording studio, collaborating with "some great people" — people she wants to keep a mystery for now. And no, it's not necessarily Dr. Dre (see "JoJo Says She's 'Not That Kind Of Girl,' Wants Dr. Dre For Next Album")." "I want it to be right when it comes out," she teased. "I really want it to be special and surprising. I'm going to have to leave it to your imagination!"
Still, she couldn't help but gush a little bit about her sophomore effort. "It's so incredible; I'm so excited about the direction I'm going in. The new songs sound great, mmwah," she said, making a kissing noise. "I cannot wait for you to hear them. It's just a natural progression, as far as the maturity of vocal, the maturity of lyrics I'm writing as well."
Part of that newfound musical maturity includes using live instruments, because "that's really important for me," she said. Her first single for the still-untitled album is called "Too Little, Too Late," and is due to hit radio in January.

I don't really like her but I did like "Leave" and "Baby Its You." So I'm kinda interested in hearing this.

Did "Baby, It's You" go Top 10? I forget. I do remember "Not That Kinda Girl" flopping big time, though. Poor Jo. Everyone loves her and I have a feeling this will go Top 10 though.

Baby Its You peaked at #7 on Pop and #22 on the Hot 100. NTKOG flopped beyond belief peaking at a very pathetic #49 on Pop.

Baby Its You peaked at #7 on Pop and #22 on the Hot 100. NTKOG flopped beyond belief peaking at a very pathetic #49 on Pop. And if this song is along those lines, it should flop too. She had no business singing the lyrics in NTKG.

That girl is mature enough to sing about whatever she wants. She's 14-15 years old

It's weird, I heard "NTKG" ALL the time on radio here and on Sirius radio.\
Where did "Leave (Get Out)" peak?

It shocks me that it never went Top 10 on the Hot 100 despite hitting #1 on Pop. A #1 on Pop is usually enough to get atleast Top 10 on the Hot 100....I actually can't remember the last song to hit #1 on Pop and not go Top 10 on the Hot 100 (excluding "Leave" obviously.)

I was going to post this..lol
I am excited to hear it, but I wonder if we will hear it in January or it will be delayed. "Leave" was out in January but her album didn't come out until like June, I think...lol but that was different since she was unknown then and they needed to give that song time to build, and oh did it ever...
This time I dont think they can give it as much time

I ascap'd Billy Steinberg. The only thing I recognized right away was "Eternal Flame". I liked "Leave (Get out)" and "Not That Kinda Girl" a lot, but wasn't a huge fan of "Baby, It's You". I'm curious to see how this sounds.

I went to another site that had better layed out information and artists names to go with titles. And I actually recognized quite a few of his songs. Here are some of the bigger hits: Alone- Heart I Drove All Night- Cyndi Lauper I Touch Myself- The Divinyls I'll Stand By You- The Pretenders Like A Virgin- Madonna So Emotional- Whitney Houston True Colors- Cyndi Lauper

So basically he hasn't written much of a hit in over 10 years. Sounds like JoJo is using Destiny's Child's format for successs!

I hope this will sound OK. I don't really like any of those songs he's done.
Luke, was the version you heard done, or was it just like a demo?

Luke, do you know any lyrics from this song? I'm curious to know what it's about.
