There is a theory that JoJo is doing this whole rebrand is because around this time there has been allegations of abuse in her own show where they are creating idol very similar to the abuse on dance mom
This is only a part of it, just like kids actors she too is getting too old for the image. Which is why switch ups like this happen to desperately stay relevant, to somehow keep the click bait up. A PR nightmare is what she did since it's done so badly it hurt the entire image instead of only distracting. But at the same time it was also a success since even bad publicity is publicity
Kenji is right about the writers thing. A lot of popular artists from all genres don’t write their own songs. Also, the people who make the beats for songs are also credited as writers too
@@Dino-zh5od that’s another issue that people in the industry do. I don’t know if they said this in the video but when they’re composing or writing lyrics to a song, there’s another way for artist to get put down as a writer without actually doing anything and that’s when they’re just sitting in the room during the process or making of a song. Anyone who’s in the room while that’s happening is credited as a writer. So, the fact that they changed one word and change the beat a little bit And if she was in a room when it happened, she has free rein to say she’s a writer.
@@Dino-zh5od but is real wild how she said, she wrote the second song when obviously another person wrote it and sung it. She didn’t even bother to sing her own version of it. She just played that girls version during her show
@@Dino-zh5od apparently early on she never explicitly stated that she wrote it, but also never explicitly gave credit. One of those things people say was “implied” (implied that she wrote ti herself) when she was teasing everything
Honestly I never hated jojos younger girl pop era, it was harmless. I always felt people especially youtubers were way to hard on her compared to others like bhad bhabie
Ikr. In the past, she used to get a lot of unwarranted hate online...which IMO was pretty pointless because at that point she had done nothing wrong. I kind of get where some people are coming from now, but the people who were hating on her simply because she wore childish clothes as a teen were annoying.
I used to watch dance moms compilations and decided once to listen to Boomerang, since it was trending and I wasn't really a fan of mysic that much back then. Safe to say, I didn't listen to another song for the next year. I am not joking.
I personally hate how she tries to be alt without the very thing it is built on. Activism, smashing the status quo, breaking social norms, fighting for human rights. She just says it and then act the exact same, I hate it so so so fucking much.
@@localvtuber420 I understand that, but I can mostly blame Jojo since she is old enough to know what she was doing. Even tho dance moms played a big part, Jojo is still to blame❤
From my knowledge it’s pretty common in kpop where the label gets the rights to a song that has already been released then puts their own twist to it…for example “Next Level” by aespa was originally a song from a fast & furious soundtrack but SM entertainment got the rights and it was then given to aespa
*11:40* Vtuber fans of all people should know that singing a song written by someone else is so common. That literally happens all the time for idol vtubers - even solo original songs Ikwym kenji
I thihnk one of the reasons people are so upset about her "stealing" the songs is that while buying the song off other artists is normal although not talked about often, it was more of being upset that Jojo was very adamant online about how she wanted to write her own music about her own experiences and how tough the writing process was, but she played no part in it.
FINALLY UR REACTING TO JOJO SIWA💀 Kenji other than a very few kpop groups that involve in their song producing or writing (,skz,bts,svt,ateez, g-idle and some others)kpop groups do not produce nor write they’re own songs for the most part. though I do know that skz are credited in almost all their songs as a producers which is big since it’s unusual in kpop, they obv don’t do it all alone there are other writers and producers that help them. so idk why ppl even would fight u on this.
Bruh most of the lyrics and message of the song of Bts are done by RM. It’s already known and even you can listen the demos of those songwriters and all those songs are about break up or some typical stuff. Like the whole paradise song concept and lyrics came from the rappers , and it was about like a s song ( said by the producer himself ) Same with ON, it was about another stuff. And totally different , it didn’t had the live drums and whole choir. Ofc it wasn’t called ON. Also sometimes it’s the opposite and the demos come from the members themselves , like fake love came from RMs demos which was lower pitch. Also none track of Bts gets mastering after the RMs review of it. Which is something everyone in big hit including their CEO had said.
Genuinely, I think JoJo definitely needs to go to therapy for MANY reasons. Also Kenji you are pretty iconic, I don't know what chat's on about- I don't know about a thug but definitely iconic! 🤣😂
She wanted to be miley cyrus so bad but can't sing, can't write and can't even dance despite knowing how to choreography when she was learning under abby lee miller. People are hard on her because she claimed to be the inventor of something when she wasn't born. She plays OTHER artist's songs with THEIR vocals, claiming it at her own like sing it first and then play it, why use someone else's vocals. She can't sing, just go watch her try to sing songs in her car. She has a dance crew of little girls to which she mistreats. Everyone around doesn't actually care about her, they just see cash signs. Is it fair to be tough on her? Yes, don't claim to be someone you're not. Make your own music with your writers, then you find your own art style. Copying others will only damage you.
Why are you surprised for? If it was in toys r s only why would anyone go there if they're not a parent/kid or of need of legos? It's easy to avoid knowing her by simply not even going to this very ultra specific shop
@UnkownWonders I'm just surprised because I didn't realize Kenji knew about Jojo. He's never made any videos stating he knows anything about her. This is the first video I've seen with Jojo in it.😅
I am an AMRY myself and love kpop and I totally agree with kenji, this is how music industry works, sometimes u write ur own music and sometimes you don't. Even daechwita by suga was written by someone else (can't remember his name sorry) and he was the guest in suga's talk show. Yt comments don't come for kenji 🙇♀️
I totally agree with you as an army since 2018 people genuinely should not get bent out of shape over that people just co-write or write them for K-Pop artists sometimes!!!
First off, there is a HUGE difference between having something written for you, and working WITH a writer on your song. El Capitxn didnt write daechwita for suga, he was a co writer on the song WITH suga. I just wanted to clear that up, of course its not wrong to have songs written, but Agust D, RM, and J hope are always primary writers on every solo project they work on and that is important to note :)
The severe disappointment I felt when I realized this video does not touch on "Siwas Dance Pop Revolution" it is something that needs to be talked about far more than whatever the fuck she's doing with her makeup.
I'm glad you're doing it. Ngl I'M AVOIDING to watch anything related to her to do not ruin my feed on YT. xD And ya...Kpop stans crazy...Why you get offended about truth... BIGGEST ARTIST EVER had written song for them. xD Also about the pitching songs. In Arkane making of video you can see first hand how producer/writter of the song recorded it himself before it was passed to the actual artist and released. So feel free to go check that out.
Hi, it's 100% known that a vast majority of singers have their song written and produced by other people whom is the job to do so. I don't see a particular problem with it, especially in K-pop since they have to also dance to perform their songs. But Kenji didn't chose the best K-pop group for this 😅He probably didn't know because he's not an active fan of them yet, but Stray kids are writting, composing and arranging 90% of their songs. You can check in the credits of all their songs, you'll see 3Racha (name of the 3 members that produce the songs ; Bang Chan, Changbin and Han). They also have videos called "intro" for each of their album to talk about the creative process behind the songs and also snippets of recording sessions leading by themselves. They also share their creative process in lives when people ask them. 🙂
@@MyuNeptune And it looks like you missed mine but it's okay 😂You've talked about crazy K-pop stan offended by the truth but in the video Kenji talked only about Stray kids, ence my comment to explain the group work. Simple. 🤷♀
Just wanted to note that she was a co writer, the song wasn't written for them. They do have some songs written where they aren't involved, but most of them bts members are co writers, producers, and composers :)
im not sure if the video mentions this (since i havent finished watching it) but there is also abuse allegations against Jojo and her mother because of mistreatment of the group "xomg pop" and is friends with groomers (colleen ballinger for example)
7:07 "The most respected people in the world have come up to me and told me how amazing I am and how much the world needs me specifically" sound familiar? Plus the whole "nobody has ever done what I'm doing". Not to bring that subject into the video, but we all know who I'm talking about. Then you look at the wall behind her, and we all go "uh huh, we saw that coming"
Even though I think Jojo can technically deny saying she wrote it, she heavily implied she did when talking about these songs or that she was at least involved. Cause she was making like seem like it was so personal and about her exes or whatever. I'm not sure if she realized the songs were brought from people that already publicly released their own versions. I don’t think she wouldve talked about them like that if she knew 😕 Not that I know much about how this stuff works Also this rebrand is not for adults. Like kids are definitely bopping to karma. Theres no way she listened to her version of that song and that music vid and didn't think kids would think it's cool. She clearly didn’t want to lose her original audience
i agree w Kenji, but i think the issue is that she claimed(at 1st) that she wrote the songs herself and especially for that 2nd song straight up stole that girls voice. cant wait for JoJos version to come out so i can listen to the original singers version in full bc its more likely gonna sound more authentic than JoJos
@@UnkownWonders for your first question, it was just an answer to what Kenji asked (you have the time code). As for your second question, I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean. My brain is translating your question (English is not my first language), but it doesn't understand. Sorry 😅😞
@@UnkownWonders okay but im confused the word badass was never out you act like nobody says that any more when it's a normal slang word, they're probably a kid and they're just showing their appreciation for him, it looks like that too me
To be honest i totally get the music industry standers of having writers/remakes of old songs, makes sense when youre a big artist or group and you dont necessarily have writing skills or even the time to do your own work. But my thing that ALWAYS feels scummy is how a lot of the time writers or the original artists of thoese songs are never really showcased or celebrated for their work and just get thrown behind the scenes when they do so much work that these performers and singers build off of. Off topic and like a vauge example Im someone who does artwork like painting and digital art and there is this other standers when you use a base or a specific refrence or you are doing a remake of an artwork its just standerd to credit the original, thats why tracing is so frowned apon and giving credit is a really big standered. So in a way when music artists like Jojo remake old songs or have songs written for them and then lack that trancparency of who originally did/wrote it until they are called out for it, it feels scummy, like they're "tracing" over the original work if that makes any sense.
Yeah but his point is people shouldn't be offended about having other producers or writers making a song for an artist. Although yes, some artists do their own writing and producing their own music but sometimes the artist themselves or the label needs to bring in other people to make a good song. It's an industry standard and it's a job. Sometimes you need more than the artist to make a bop song cause you're going to need other people's artistry, talent and opinion. He's not discrediting them, he's just annoyed how people get so offensive about having other people make their favorite artists' music when again it's an industry standard and job for everyone in the music industry.
@@ChimkinNugets exactly, i don't know why anyone had to say anything, kenji is just being truthful, people do help co write or write the songs for K-Pop artist, i can think of one right now. But i have forgotten his name, and i have absolutely no idea how this is taken as a bad thing, when it's literally just a career
@marcey4207 I just think that he just shouldn't bring up a K-pop group who aka makes their music and works hard. What he did and how he talked after was not so kind... but that's just me he could have said hey their are K-pop groups, but bring up an alumb with just one song."
@@Stay_wuth he never said they had the song written for them, it wasn't even an insult. he was highlighting that even people who work primarily on their own stuff have help sometimes, and get insight from other people and its not a shameful thing it is OK.
Its beyond forced and conveniently came out after the allegations of abuse against her and her mom. Jojo wouldnt really be able to keep being a child star in her 20s, especially after abuse allegations in her show. So she decided to force this weird ass change
11:40 Yo kenji, as a kpop fan trust me I know there will always be people who write music for kpop outside of the group members. Don't worry I'm not gonna bash you I 100% understand your view point because that is the industry. I know a song writer for Girl groups who isn't Korean and her voice and the vibe are really beautiful, because let's be honest song writers exist and most of entertainment agencies want their groups songs to be trending in he Hollywood music or well billboards so I understand you~👍
The song boomerang introduced me to the english language a bit more when I was really young still, Jojo siwa was partially the reason why I got interested learning english, her changing her image so quickly was not on my 2024 card, it’s a bit sad aswell.
Bruh, this video just confirmed exactly why I watch Kenji The fact that every opinion I had he's mirroring in the sense that he's relatable. Cause I literally was so shocked with the success, never even heard the Boomerang song. And right before I typed this comment, The video said Karma, I paused to sing the chorus a bit and then Kenji does the exact same thing. I am cackling bruh
Yeah... About Karma, I don't think that's how "stealing" in the music world works, but that's funny af. Thats so petty & stupid, but i kinda love it xD
I hared howy cousin loved JoJo, my cousin who was 8 at the time had an entire wall of that womens bows.... It made me actually have to talk to her mom about the obsession now my cousin hates that time of her childhood because those bows destroyed her already thin hair
Honestly, despite what people say, this was SUCH a smart financial/business play. Like, how many times have people heard this stupid song? How many memes have been made of it? Every time it gets streamed she gets payed, every time someone watches that music video she gets paid. Every view, comment, interview, she gets paid for. Bad interaction is still interaction. She isn't stupid, she said herself something something "what's been stuck in your head for the past week?" or something along those lines. As for the stealing YO THIS PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH CAUSE LIKE, Brit Smith SOLD her damn song, which then got sold to other people, WHEN YOU SELL SOMETHING YOU NO LONGER OWN IT. It eventually got to JoJo. Like Kenji said, it's a job. JoJo shouldn't have claimed she written it, but like whatever??? But like how tf can Brit come out and release the song SHE NO LONGER OWNS??? Wtf-
What people don't understand is kids grow up whether they wanna believe it or not. She's LEGALLY an adult. She's no longer a child, so she doesn't have to appeal to kids anymore imo. As someone who is around her age (I'm a year younger), I can understand why shed wanna try so hard to seem like an adult, because she is
There is a theory that JoJo is doing this whole rebrand is because around this time there has been allegations of abuse in her own show where they are creating idol very similar to the abuse on dance mom
I was bouta say
@@meloncholywitch9979 yeah I was looking through the comments and seeing if anyone else said anything about this or the allegations
It's not a theory lmao, the timeliness is too coincidental
This is only a part of it, just like kids actors she too is getting too old for the image. Which is why switch ups like this happen to desperately stay relevant, to somehow keep the click bait up. A PR nightmare is what she did since it's done so badly it hurt the entire image instead of only distracting. But at the same time it was also a success since even bad publicity is publicity
This genuinely was her reason you see how unconvinced she was about her own rebrand it was just to coverup what she and her mother did

Off topic and like a vauge example Im someone who does artwork like painting and digital art and there is this other standers when you use a base or a specific refrence or you are doing a remake of an artwork its just standerd to credit the original, thats why tracing is so frowned apon and giving credit is a really big standered.
So in a way when music artists like Jojo remake old songs or have songs written for them and then lack that trancparency of who originally did/wrote it until they are called out for it, it feels scummy, like they're "tracing" over the original work if that makes any sense.
13:27 CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT HOW CHRIS GREY IS TOP 7?!?!?
When is kenji gonna make a model with the iconic no hairline iojo ponytail
Only real fans know this was posted earlier this day
Now wait, kenji, did you forget about straykids producing their own stuff, 3 racha skz aka who has felix the one you love ❤️ 😂
Sorry, one more thing they all 3 racha have 100+ song credits. ❤️🔥
Yeah but his point is people shouldn't be offended about having other producers or writers making a song for an artist. Although yes, some artists do their own writing and producing their own music but sometimes the artist themselves or the label needs to bring in other people to make a good song. It's an industry standard and it's a job. Sometimes you need more than the artist to make a bop song cause you're going to need other people's artistry, talent and opinion. He's not discrediting them, he's just annoyed how people get so offensive about having other people make their favorite artists' music when again it's an industry standard and job for everyone in the music industry.
@@ChimkinNugets exactly, i don't know why anyone had to say anything, kenji is just being truthful, people do help co write or write the songs for K-Pop artist, i can think of one right now. But i have forgotten his name, and i have absolutely no idea how this is taken as a bad thing, when it's literally just a career
@marcey4207 I just think that he just shouldn't bring up a K-pop group who aka makes their music and works hard. What he did and how he talked after was not so kind... but that's just me he could have said hey their are K-pop groups, but bring up an alumb with just one song."
@@Stay_wuth he never said they had the song written for them, it wasn't even an insult. he was highlighting that even people who work primarily on their own stuff have help sometimes, and get insight from other people and its not a shameful thing it is OK.
There's a song already with similar lyrics as 'her' song from the past.
Heyy Kenji! How's it going? Love the videos
I was watching it when it got privated I was so confused for a sec 😭
Yippee Kenji posted
I was here at 1am when you posted this early
Each time you flop around like a maniac I like to screen record and send it to my brother
Its beyond forced and conveniently came out after the allegations of abuse against her and her mom.
Jojo wouldnt really be able to keep being a child star in her 20s, especially after abuse allegations in her show. So she decided to force this weird ass change
4:55 jojo what happened😭😭
this is what i like about Kenji, you can see the character development in real time
Hey look, if someone's singing well and it's all legally owned by the singer, There's no problem with me
5:41 JOHNNIE GUILBERT?! 😭😭😭❤️
Help I died when chat said "no Kenji, you a thug" to Kenji asking if he's iconic😭
4:48 Jojo saying “How many t1tt$3s are going to pop out today?” my first thought was “Not yours because you dont have any 🫡🧍♀️”
when kenji posts I can clean in peace😭😭
Hi kenji, I was feeling bad today, but watching your videos helps me feel happy again😊
LOL I waited because I knew he would start singing that damn song
Her outfit in that last video was too much 😂😂 i literally couldn’t stop laughing at that freaking hat😂😂😂
11:40 Yo kenji, as a kpop fan trust me I know there will always be people who write music for kpop outside of the group members. Don't worry I'm not gonna bash you I 100% understand your view point because that is the industry. I know a song writer for Girl groups who isn't Korean and her voice and the vibe are really beautiful, because let's be honest song writers exist and most of entertainment agencies want their groups songs to be trending in he Hollywood music or well billboards so I understand you~👍
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR KENJI TO REACT TO THIS LMAAOOAO
10:37 THAT'S LA LA LA FROM STRAY KIDS?
helllp kenji finally reacting to Jojo?? but I guess I needed this video
The song boomerang introduced me to the english language a bit more when I was really young still, Jojo siwa was partially the reason why I got interested learning english, her changing her image so quickly was not on my 2024 card, it’s a bit sad aswell.
Bruh, this video just confirmed exactly why I watch Kenji
The fact that every opinion I had he's mirroring in the sense that he's relatable.
Cause I literally was so shocked with the success, never even heard the Boomerang song.
And right before I typed this comment,
The video said Karma, I paused to sing the chorus a bit and then Kenji does the exact same thing.
I am cackling bruh
"No one has made this drastic of a change" Melanie Martinez hello????
The fact that Kenji just made SKZ pop out on this totally different singer (JoJo siwa) was proof that he's a fanboy for skzz
I swear, 2024 is the year of chaos. 2020 was the trial run.
I went to a Jojo concert before and it felt like a fever dream 🧍🏾♀️
Kengi posted 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yeah... About Karma, I don't think that's how "stealing" in the music world works, but that's funny af. Thats so petty & stupid, but i kinda love it xD
HI KENJI LOVE YOU 😘😘🫶🫶
No I love him more 😘👹👹👹
@@barkiejon4330 NO IT'S ME 👹👹👹👹👹
Before my end of the year school dance, people could put in requests, ong they played "karma" at the dance.
Yay my favorite person is here
Btw i haven't even heard the song the videos said enough not in a bad way
The real thumbnail should be “Why WOULDN’T anyone hate Jojo Siwa?”
HIIIII KENJI HOPEE YOUVE BEEN WELLL ❤
THATS NOT LIE THATS NOT TEARS😔😔😔😔
Ooop he posted again...ill watch it again even tho in watched it last night..
The Timmy pfp is sooooo real
He's not even wrong about the baby face, I'm 22 and get mistaken for a teen or kid😭
new kenji video !! drools
The fact that she has the invisible balls to steal songs is crazy😭✋
I hared howy cousin loved JoJo, my cousin who was 8 at the time had an entire wall of that womens bows.... It made me actually have to talk to her mom about the obsession now my cousin hates that time of her childhood because those bows destroyed her already thin hair
hii kenjiiii! love your videos!
Yes, you're a badass- so cool, so funny, so enjoyable! I love you Kenji!!!
Oml you don’t know how long I’ve been waiting to hear you talk about this but love it
Honestly, despite what people say, this was SUCH a smart financial/business play. Like, how many times have people heard this stupid song? How many memes have been made of it? Every time it gets streamed she gets payed, every time someone watches that music video she gets paid. Every view, comment, interview, she gets paid for. Bad interaction is still interaction. She isn't stupid, she said herself something something "what's been stuck in your head for the past week?" or something along those lines.
As for the stealing YO THIS PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH CAUSE LIKE, Brit Smith SOLD her damn song, which then got sold to other people, WHEN YOU SELL SOMETHING YOU NO LONGER OWN IT. It eventually got to JoJo. Like Kenji said, it's a job. JoJo shouldn't have claimed she written it, but like whatever??? But like how tf can Brit come out and release the song SHE NO LONGER OWNS??? Wtf-
I know a singer who actually write their own songs
thank you for feeding us yt contents mr streamer man!
Kenji, will you react to Papa Meat's videos someday? The things he talks about are very interesting and he got great humour!!
When the song karma's a bich came out my childhood was broken🙃🙃
2:46 :D😂😂😂
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
What people don't understand is kids grow up whether they wanna believe it or not. She's LEGALLY an adult. She's no longer a child, so she doesn't have to appeal to kids anymore imo. As someone who is around her age (I'm a year younger), I can understand why shed wanna try so hard to seem like an adult, because she is
There’s a clip of her drinking fireball on stage and she couldn’t even get it down 😭😭 I was downing fireballs when I was 14 cmon now jojo
10:49 i’m so confused bro what even happened 😭
I remember getting a notification for this video earlier this morning
