Pint sized pop starlet Jojo was on hand at New York Fashion Week recently to demonstrate to onlookers that she still has those awe-inspiring chops.
Lending a live performance to the ‘Front Row – Style360′ event, the ‘Sexy To Me‘ maestra donned a sexy, form-fitting black dress while strutting the venue’s catwalk (and up-and-down scales with killer runs).
As always, Miss Levesque delivered. See what we mean below:
Thanks to YeahImFamous!
To say ‘she did that’ would be a gross understatement. Between church inspired runs and riffs and soaring vocals, she brought it and then some! It is performances like this that demonstrate the singer’s hunger to succeed. A hunger that, despite all happening around her, seems to only grow stronger!
We look forward to the single’s accompanying video as That Grape Juice was privileged to be on the set during the making of. See that here…

Great JoJo! I don’t know what’s going on with she and her label, but I hope they fix it soon. She needs to be on radio, performing on TV, like actually “out there” for a public. She’s way talented too talented not to be/do as such.

Blackground was quick to send out false press releases and push the Aaliyah & Drake fiasco, but they apparently can’t be bothered to do anything the easy and legit way to promote the project they have with JoJo. JoJo is talented enough that there ought to be a bidding war right now between labels trying to secure her to their roster. It’s time for JoJo to severe all ties with Blackground.

Excluding the bitter beyonce fans who hate and envy Rihanna. I am sure 100% of folks would back ROC nation kicking Rita Ora to the curb and putting Jojo in her place. I am sure those who scream about talent who back that trade. I don’t expect those bitter beyhives, but those who love REAL TALENT and music would prefer to see Jojo on Roc nation getting heavily promoted over Rita.

And elderlyonce and her stans don’t want Rih to win? PLEASE. You started this war with Rih. Now rih will finish once and for all.
BEY is failing on her own accord. She is washed up and dried up. I saw her on Anderson cooper and she looked Chaka Khan’s age. She was pork plump huge and looked old.

Your stupid as fuck. No one started shit with rihanna. I came on this site respecting Rihanna and I still do. You dumbasses don’t like to give credit where it’s due and beyonce looks good for a 31yr old. Your dirty ass just want beyonce to fail so, she won’t dust Rihanna ass back to Barbados. You will deal that beyonce is the king. Rihanna can have the queen spot it’s all about the king.

What a fucked up world we live in. Roc nation spend 3 yrs and tens of millions of dollars on a washed up no talent robyn fenty wannabe who CANNOT SING.
While, nice, sweet, humble UBER talented JOJO, born with a soulful voice that pays homage to great RNB like xscape, 702, Monica, Kut Klose, jodeci etc is rotting on a Z list label.
So sad to see talent like this go to waste, while untalented flops who cannot sing OR SELL RECORD are being promoted and pushed like they are Micael jackson.
I hope Roc nation clear out all their flops and sign Jojo and fresh new talent 2013.

Jojo’s vocie sounds like RNB from 1994 – 1996. Them dayz, when they had all the rifts and hit all kinds notes. I have just been listening to some 702, Xscape and faith Evans.
Man, what has happened to music. I do not want to hear ”she can sing ” unless the bitch can sing like Faith Evans You used to love me. I agree with everything you have said about this Girls mazing vocal jobs. She is the real deal and deserves to be on TV

The RIP song written by drake needs to be given to a talent with star quality vocals. I hope that Drake can re record RIP with JOJO and appear on the track. It would be amazing and give both Jojo and Drake the number 1 in America, they have both been looking for.

the new Rihanna song sounds dangerous. I have only heard the instrumental – so add Rih one – of – a – kind – swag – signature – unique -vocals, plus ester deans Vocal production and it will send old fashion beyonce into a nursing home.
Then comes the video and the fashion…………..

The Rih fans are going nuts over the instrumental concept demo. Can u imagine when they get the finished product – plus the video and promo?
THAT IS WHY SHE QUEEN
Beyonce does not know where to go. She is not current. She cannot do RNB as it does not sell; she cannot do pop, as she was never pop; she cannot do reggae as is not west indian; she cannot dare to dance like Rih. Rih owns that genre. She cannot even do ballads cos that is Adele’s market.
LOL LOL OH, dear, looks like Beyonce is over!

Don’t matter,. It is 100% fact. I have just heard the new Rihanna demo and Beyonce will never be catch her now. I cannot see a 34 yrold mom can do to outsell Rih at this stage. If beyonce was 10 yrs younger, maybe.
Get used to Rih being the princess of pop.

Absolutely SLAYED the vocals. Those runs are soooo on point. Low tones, belting voice, control. THAT WAS BEAST MODE!!!
I mean we just gotta adopt her and get her on 106. Embrace her like we did back in the day with Teena Marie..
I know she can sing anything but the R&B is locked innnn with her vocals.

I am a Jojo fan, and this performance is now one of my favorites from her. With that being said why do I see Beyonce, Rita Ora, Ciara, and Rihanna in the comments. Why the comparisons? A real fan would be confident enough in their favs to not have to tear someone else down to build their favs up. Hating on other artists won’t change the situation b/w her and her label. Just be real fans and support.
