Biggie

Was she really in Born Again? The oldest I know is the get out one, if she was born in 1990, this means she was only 9.. So is it true that someone that Younf sang w/ Biggie? Even if it was an album w/ old clips, thats amazing... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.153.204.116 (talk • contribs)

No, that was not this JoJo. It was Jo-Jo from K-Ci and JoJo. Funk Junkie 19:39, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the 2Pac song Thug N Me Thug N you [and the remix] there is a JoJo, it says something about K-Ci, so its different JoJo??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.153.204.116 (talk • contribs)

Yes, this 2Pac song features the duo K-Ci and JoJo. Also, JoJo is not the kind of artist who collaborates with these hardcore rappers. *lol* Funk Junkie 22:25, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why does this page redirect from 'Kasey Butler'?

I thought maybe this was JoJo's real name, but as it isn't, what is the relevance and why isn't it explained on the page?

Who is Kasey Butler? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.153.66.65 (talk • contribs)

Updates

Fixed some grammatical errors in the 'Trivia' section. Singerisbored 21:59, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Encyclopedic nature of a description of her favorite underwear?

Is it really encyclopedic to discuss the favortie underwear of a juvenile popstar? Youngamerican 18:44, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, its good to see that it has been removed. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 18:26, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It wouldn't neccessarily be unencyclopedic, if it was sourced. But it wasn't. Alex43223^{Talk | Contribs | E-mail | C} 06:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well it's a fact, and in other articles the favourites of people are written down so why not? Ajox 19:26, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Must agree. Bigman17 04:55, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vocal Profile

It seems somewhat...inaccurate. JoJo, for one, is not a soprano to begin with. And the highest/lowest notes should be verified. Additionally, I suppose the structure of that section could be laid out in a more coherent manner. Highconclave 04:18, 7 February 2006 (UTC) Can she really hit the whistle registry? I have to agree with highconclave, is she even a soprano? 2pweety4u 08:05 26 October 2006 (UTC) She hits whistle registry at the ned of 'Too Lttle Too Late'. 80.43.9.157 12:41, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No she cant hit notes in the whistle register. Her highest note is Eb6 in The High Road. In order to be included in the whistle register category the artist must be able to hit E6 and above. Citation is also needed for this. There is no citation for her Eb6 or any of her high notes that I have found, so I have removed her. DO NOT READD HER. Snail2 07:08, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have read on musesmuse that she is a mezzo-soprano which would kinda fit considering she can reach some higher notes, but the majority of her range is very much alto I think with a spinto/lyric quality to it.82.27.237.104 14:31, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vocals(ayo her voice is real hot!!!)

Charts

In Australia there is no such thing as a bubbling under chart. That's only the US. Harry** 14:26, 16 September 2006.

And in Europe too. Funk Junkie 19:39, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not really

JoJo has a boyfriend 24.17.203.29 06:28, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, she's a lesbian. It's pretty obvious judging by one of her songs which is called "How To Touch A Girl". 77.97.230.248 20:16, 21 February 2007 (UTC)DanZieBoy[reply]

She really isn't lesbian, I don't hear anything in that song what would make her a lesbian. And she had a boyfriend, Freddy Adu, but that's over now Ajox 19:22, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Which is why she started a lesbian relationship. 77.97.230.248 06:49, 21 April 2007 (UTC)DanZieBoy[reply]

In your dreams. Alex43223^{T | C | E} 00:02, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uh uh, not in my dreams, because it's true. The title "How to Touch a Girl" is pretty obvious.77.97.230.248 12:19, 6 May 2007 (UTC)DanZieBoy[reply]

Let me get this stright "How to Touch a Girl" can NOT mean a man touching a woman? It's not like it says "how a girl touches another girl"... jt_200075 11:50, June 14 2007

Um I appreciate the effort there, jt_200075, but you're both wrong. The song is like instructions for a GUY on how to touch a girl's HEART. And the IP- address kid above you is completely wrong and probably hadn't even heard the song. --I'm Kinda Awesome... 14:42, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

THANK YOU! but i was just trying to show who ever it was that the title could mean either, but you are right... jt_200075 16:15, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

pic gone!!!!!

please insert pic back — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.28.81.114 (talk • contribs)

personal life

is it me or does she only like to date black people. im not being racist just curious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.28.136.97 (talk • contribs)

Although you shouldn't leave comments here unless they are related to improving the article, I must agree. Alex43223^{Talk | Contribs | E-mail | C} 10:35, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

why do you care what her prefrence is? its none of your business and it doesn't really matter. PrincessOfHearts 21:05, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Which black person, except Freddy Adu, has she dated then? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajox (talk • contribs)

Well, she's always hanging around with black people. You rarely ever see her with white people (in photoshoots and stuff), including her dancers, the people with her on albums, and just about everywhere, except for her mom. Hell, look at the pics on her fansites and see all black people. Most of her fans are white anyway. Bigman17 05:08, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Footnotes

I don't know what the problem is, so I can't fix it myself, but the footnotes are definitely weird. It goes 1-2, with 1 being blank, and then 1-2 again with the same info, just in a bigger font. - JNighthawk 04:12, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Quit hating on her!! you know shes a great singer so shut up!

Jojo or Levesque?

I have noticed that throughout the article, JoJo is referred to as "JoJo." In articles like Fergie (singer), Fergie is referred to as "Fergie" briefly, and then it switches to "Ferguson." Shouldn't this article refer to JoJo as Levesque? JoJo, like Fergie, is technically a stage name. I'd like to have a consensus before doing a major edit like this. Acalamari 19:53, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

   No, actually Levesque is her last name-Jojo's real first name is Joanna(Jojo is her nickname!), whereas Fergie is a nickname shortening her LAST name!!!
                      --Tini 8 19:15, 17 February 2007 (UTC)    Feb. 17,07[reply]

Actually, "Fergie" is not a shortening of "Ferguson," it is actually a nickname. This is why I asked this question, but no one has responded to it except you. Until I gain consensus, I will not do this major edit to the article. Acalamari 21:28, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

JoJo is a nickname of Joanna. Levesque is her last name. I don't know if you still need imput on that, but that's true. JoJo is a nickname from her real name Joanna. SIDE NOTE: Also there is no way she can be 15 and born in 1990. It's not possible. Considering I was born in 90 myself and I turned 17 this year. Her site says she is 15 unless I am missing something. Ourdestiny 12:17, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

In response to the side note, my guess, is that it is an old bio... jt_20075

Don't redirect to this

Who cares about this bitch. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.190.19.210 (talk) 01:32, 10 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

To start with, please refrain from using talk pages to launch personal attacks on the subjects of articles. Wikipedia policy clearly condemns such attacks. And, more to the point, the title of this article is "JoJo." So if you do a search for "JoJo," you'll come straight to this page anyway, without any redirection. If you're looking for something other than JoJo the singer, be more specific with your search queries. The tag at the top of the page provides a link to a disambiguation page, which lists other articles that are somehow related to the term "JoJo."--Phil500 (Talk / Contribs) 02:39, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, these IPs are funny. Bigman17 04:27, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i have never read anywhere tht jojo was born in mexico, or that she came from an abusive home. i dont believe either of these are true, and there is no documentation! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Baseballseries (talk • contribs)

evidence?

It's not...Jojo was born and raised in Boston, and although she had a life in a low-income household she was most definitely not abused. I should know, I'm a HUGE fan. --DancexwithxmexXx 15:35, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Minor vandilism

There has been a minor vandalism in the Personal Life section of JoJo's article by "217.43.175.65"

"JoJo also thinks that Stephanie of JoJoFanBoards is a big piece of sexual milk chocolate. Thats right."

I have removed that line from the article

Misleading statements

Previously, this article stated that her birth name was "Blagden" and provided a source at Ancestry.com. Now it says in the infobox that her birth name was "Levesque", but in the introduction it says she changed her name from "Blagden". Can anyone find a reliable source for this? Also, the last one was removed despite the fact that it was valid. Alex43223^{T | C | E} 03:43, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well Wikipedia Admins remove valid facts all the time. True anyone can edit wikipedia, but Admins can block people, entire entries and basically do whatever they want. Try to make a 100% verifiable factual entry on something they don't like and it will be removed and you may even be banned. I did just that with an entry on encyclopediadramatic.com I have no idea what stupid petty fight some wikipedia admins must have had with the encyclopediadramatica.com folks but you cant make a NPOV verifiable factual page on them. I've had 3 Admins refuse to tell me why they act contrary to the Wikipedia's own rules. Thats why I quit.
