JoJo Siwa released her new song “Karma” on April 5. The internet was surprised by her new look as we have known the teen sensation to be colorful with a big bow in her hair. Users on TikTok have a negative outlook on her music video and have been making fun of both the video and clips of her from interviews talking about her new look and song. 

I think that Siwa was trying to change her look and show everyone that she is not the same as when she was growing up, but she went a little extreme and now looks like a member of the rock band Kiss. 

Siwa has also been posting videos of her choreography to her song, and everyone has been impersonating her and exaggerating how she is dancing. To be fair, it is a little much compared to the other dancers that are doing the choreography normally. 

Siwa was on the reality show “Dance Moms” for two seasons, and Abby Lee Miller reacted to her music video on TikTok. For as much as Miller yelled at Siwa on the show, her reaction was very pleasant and she did not say a bad word about her video. This surprised many followers and they started saying things like, “JoJo paid her to say this.”

Siwa is getting more hate than just her music video being “cringe.” In an interview, she said that she was creating a new genre of music called “gay pop” and received a lot of backlash about it from not only fans but other artists who contribute to “gay pop.” 

Many people have been arguing that there have been hundreds of artists who came before her who were a part of “gay pop,” such as Elton John, Demi Lovato and Troye Sivan. Siwa is being called disrespectful for taking credit for being the “first one” to create this genre.

I am glad that Siwa is going into a new part of her life and changing up her look, but she should have made a more subtle change and chosen her words more wisely the next time she is being interviewed.
