This girl is 13 years of age. I repeat....13 years of age!!!

The music industry is so sad that it'll take a 13 year old lolita, tart her up even more, throw a "Boys Stink" tube top on her and then let her talk about an affinity for loving cock. How sad is this? I just saw her music video and the VJ said she was 13 years of age! Even the lyrics are horrible:


JoJo - Leave Get Out Lyrics


I've been waiting all day for ya babe
So wont cha come and sit and talk to me
Tell me how we are gonna be together always
Hope you know when it's late at night
I Hold on to my pillow tight
And think of how you promised me forever
(I never thought that any one)
Could make me feel this way
Now that your here all I want
Is just a chance to say

[Chorus]
Get Out, (Leave) Right Now,
It's the end of you and me
It's too late (now) and I can't wait
For you to be gone
Cuz I know about her and I wonder how I brought all the lies
You said that you would treat me right but you were just a waste of time


Tell why your looking so confused
When im the one who didn't know that truth
How could you ever be so cold
To go behind my back and call my friend
Boy you must have gone and bumped your head
Because you left her number on your phone
(So now that through all that is said and done)
Maybe I'm the one to blame
(to think that you could be the one)
Well it didn't work out that way

I wanted you right here with me but I have no choice you've got to leave
Because my heart is breakin
With every word im say
I gave up on everything I had
On something that just wouldnt last
But I refuse to cry
No tears will fall from these
Eyeeee eyeee eyeeesss
[Chorus X2]

The only relationship she should have at 13 is with her family. Let's get real here people.
I just find it sad that grown men and women have to objectify a young girl in this way in order to make a quick buck. Even worse are the pedophiles that probably secretly snap off a couple of quick jerking sessions when they see the video. I shudder and pray for board members here that have young daughters that might get influenced by this crap.

Girls at 13 should be worrying about their Barbies. Not cock.

Unbelievable.

I agree 100%. But this is flamebait on this board, seeing as how every other guy here will probably be fapping to her pic

On a serious note, she should clean that whorish looking make up and go back to hanging at the mall.

"Homeboy"

VERSE 1:
My home since knee high
We came up on the south side
Where you had to beat the street lights home
We got into some street fights
But the next day we be right back get it all
Wherever there was me, there was you
And we were like crew
Straight from junior high school
Then you messed it all up
Started pushing up
Kissed me on the cheek
And I fell in love

Shorty's a little taller now
Into big things, he's a baller now
His heart never changed
I can see he's still down
I can't forget him (No no no no)
More than his voice is changing now
All that I see is rearranging now (Now)
It just ain't the same
Catchin feelings now
I should tell him (Yea)

CHORUS:
You knew you were the boy next door (Next door)
Don't want to be my homeboy no more
Saw something that I never saw before
I think he wants to be my baby, baby
Been thinkin bout him all my life (My life)
Now I see him in a whole new light
Something about it feels so right (That's why)
I think he wants to be my baby, baby

VERSE 2:
Every night when we get home
Undercover talking on the phone
Here comes my mother
It's way too late
Might get in trouble
My heart can't wait (So much to take)
Writing till my hand cramps up
4 pages saying I'm in love (I got a crush)
Can't get you off my mind (Can you pick me up baby)
I'm sure I'll be fine when I look into your eyes

Shorty's a little taller now
Into big things, he's a baller now
His heart never changed
I can see he's still down
I can't forget him
More than his voice is changing now
All that I see is rearranging now
It just ain't the same
Catchin feelings now
I should tell him (Gotta tell him that I love him)

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Chocolate covered candy kisses
They keep me reminiscing
All I want is what your giving
Nothing like your affection
So in love and you're the reason
There's no more lonely season
Make me love you, drive me crazy
Think I wanna be your lady
(Repeat)

Oh-we-oh
Oh oh oh (Don't wanna be my homeboy no more)
Oh-we-oh-we-oh-we-oh
Oh oh oh
Oh-we-oh-we-oh-we-oh
Oh oh oh
Oh-we-oh-we-oh-we-oh (Why why why why why)
Now homeboy wants to be my baby, be my baby, be my baby
Oh-we-oh
Oh oh oh (He don't wanna be my homeboy no more)
Oh-we-oh-we-oh-we-oh
Oh oh oh
Oh-we-oh-we-oh-we-oh (No more)
Oh oh oh
Oh-we-oh-we-oh-we-oh (Said he)
Now homeboy wants to be my baby, be my baby, be my baby
(Wants to be my baby now, now, now now now)

I cant really comment on this artist or the current music industry because it turned me off along time ago, but I will say that its disgusting what parents let their 8 - 12 yr old kids listen to.

I work in a middle school w/ a iBook for every student, and see the trash they listen to and what influences them , it really is disgusting. If you think they dont write lyrics like that think again, of course like you mentioned they are influenced by the current shit the music industry produces.

Not That Kinda Girl Lyrics


Yeah-eahhh, hmmmm
yeaaahhh

CHORUS:
I'm not your every day, around the way
Don't go car-hoppin', chillin' on the block
On a cell phone frontin',
Never that, cuz I'm not that kinda girl
I need to know how you roll
And how you get down low
Drop my money in the bank
Take me home and meet your mama
Can you handle that?
Cuz I'm that kinda girl
I'm that kinda girl

VERSE 1:
Boy you aint impressin' me
With your jewelry, your designer clothes
Or the games that you try to play
Think you need to know, I got my own
Dont need you for your dough
Hearin' me, maybe then we can flow, let me know
Make me smile, maybe we can chill
Keep it real, show me something I can feel
Cause I'm not your average ordinary type
Could you be that kinda guy I like?

CHORUS

VERSE: 2
Everytime I be up at the spot, chilling with my crew
We'll be hanging out, get in a little late
You start bugging out
I dont think it's fair
You don't like the clothes I wear
How I do my hair
I don't really care
But it's not for you
And I aint got nothin' to prove
There cant be any us, if there can't be any trust
Nothin' to discuss, no doubt
I'm not that kinda girl to let you play me out

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
You might take me shopping, but I'm not your property
If I dont like it, I decided
I can make it on my own
As long as we disagree to agree
Down for you and you're down for me
Baby I'm what you want and we can build a love so strong

CHORUS

Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Not That Kinda Girl
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Not That Kinda Girl
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Do you know what kinda girl I am?
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
I'm that kinda girl
ooohoohh-yeaaahh

It's pretty obvious greekboy has a crush on Jojo, or else he wouldn't be posting all these lyrics.

I think you're upset because you suddenly feel guilty about all those masturbatory fantasies you've used for Jojo.

The lyrics help to reinforce how pathetic this little girl sounds. And why are they trying to make her sound so "hood" with the "baller" lyrics and crap like that?

Can you say "manufactured" pop?

In all honesty her album sucks. Only decent sounding song is the single.

I want to see a timeline of pictures of her. How the fuck does a 13 year old look like THAT?

Theory 1: JoJo is NOT 13.

I really don't think that a 13 year old's parents would really approve of their little angel cavorting wildly to songs about boys that go past 2nd base with her. Therefore, I think that the 13 year old thing is to stir up controversy, and she's really 18.

I'd seen this girl on MTV and thought she was cute.

She's only 13? Awesome! Young girls today are hotties.

I have a tough time saying Kids is a good movie. I suppose as some great big 'expose', people claim it has merit, but I don't see it. Though the end really brings things full circle, which I enjoyed. Didn't really feel any point to the movie, but then I also depised all the characters.

Bully is a very interesting movie, I enjoyed it more than Kids.

Jojo? First i thought JoJo (of the manga and anime), then Jo Jo (of Kaci & Jojo). i don't bother to keep up with "music" on the radio these days so i had no idea.

She's cute. Looks like Jenna von Oy, though not as hot. Whether she's legal or not doesn't matter; the entertainment business is about image, not reality, which explains why people fap to Britney Spears.

And although i had strong love/hate thing with Kids, i never thought it was a good movie. It was like an extended, dramatized version of a 20/20 undercover report

The lyrics to those Jojo songs sound like they were written by a computer. You could probably write a program pretty easily to rip these things out: teach it some rhymes, seed it with a few nouns and verbs that are emotional button-pushers (heart; pillow; need; baby), and tell it to hold the percentage of urban slang to, say, 20%: enough to make the lyrics sound "hip", but not so much that it'll make the suburban soccer-mom parents uncomfortable when they hear their fourteen-year-old daughters in their bedrooms, listening to the music of today.

I'd hit it!!

ow..oops.....13 years old huh...euhm.....wow girls really grow up quickly nowadays...ahum

My little sister is ten years old and looks quite a bit younger...I really wonder how she'll look in three years.

Sad, but not surprising. I also don't think it's necessarily indicative of a degradation of quality in the industry; pop-stars have been being "manufactured" for decades. The fact that she's young and is singing about things may not have actually happened to her are only telling of what musical trends are currently popular, not necessarily the state of the industry as a whole.

Also, I thought any point that "Kids" might have had was lost in the movie trying entirely too hard to be "shocking".

I weep for humanity. This girl should be in school. She's probably just finishing up grade 8 for crying out loud.

i'm sure your last sentence wasn't intentionally incestuous (or hope), but i had to read it five times before it didn't sound that way.

i saw her on a TRL visit.. she is about half the size of the hosts, and definitely looks like she is 13 or younger dressed in some crazy attire.

Hrm... I'm sure she has a private tutor; I doubt her parents would let her forego her education just because she's the current flavor of the month. To be perfectly honest, though, she's an extremely talented singer and you wouldn't believe she's thirteen if you've seen some of the interviews she's done. She seems a little more sure-footed than you're average thirteen year-old, plus, when she says, "It's unfair how people automatically assume that because of my age I don't understand the things that I'm singing about", I have a slight inclination to want to believe her if only for the fact that she seems to carry herself so unlike what you'd think her age would imply.

She's probably having fun anyway; I'm assuming a lot of what goes on concerning the business is a little transparent to her. I really don't think there's anything wrong with pre-teens have an idol that's roughly there age and perhaps even younger than themselves in this case. What would be in appropriate is if they started to whore her up, and I hardly think having eye shadow and hoop earrings would seriously qualify as sexually exploiting her. If anything, the only people I see interpreting it that way would be you guys.

I don't know what elementary school/high school experience was like for everyone, but even when I was in 5th grade (~9 years old) other classmates would discuss who they'd like to be with. Even if only in the context of a puppy love and innocent pre-adolescent attraction, I wouldn't consider it out of place especially within the context of school children today, where kids are supposedly growing up even faster than the norm.

Once she starts crooning about hitting it, slaving herself, masturbation, or walking down the red carpet in her underwear and trenchcoat then yea, I'd be a little concerned. Otherwise, from what I've heard of her single on the radio, it doesn't seem to be abnormal other than the fact that she's the youngest thing to hit pop charts since Britney Spears.

If the parents see enough money on the contract, they'll approve. We're talking about a society that continues to see parents leave their kids locked in a car for 3 hours while they go inside the mall to try out some dresses.

I've been sick of this shit ever since perverted fucks in the media started the legality watch for such people as Britney Spears, Natalie Portman and Anna K. It's become more and more acceptable for teen girls to be "sexed up" (so to speak). I still say it all started with the sickening coverage of Jon Benet Ramsey, with the media calling her nothing but a "beauty queen" while showing images of her wearing makeup that weighed more than she did.

No joke. Everything really lackluster. It was really nice how all the stories coincided, but then again, Kids.
And what was up with the gay sex between the school outcasts? That was way out of left field.

How the hell is this sadder than a russian underage lesbian duo? Nothing, I repeat, nothing will shock me anymore when it comes to old psychos who would sell their own dicks to make a few bucks.

Well, no, I caught the TATU. It's just that I was confused; I thought you were saying that at one point, TATU had penises (penii?) and had removed them and become lesbians for fortune and fame. I was concerned for the millions of men worldwide that had fapped to TATU (not me though- I like my porn with naked girls).
