I agree with you on that last bit, and I tend to overthink things too. My interpretation of the “make it work” line is that the industry is hard and you just have to deal with it. On its own, it doesn’t sound bad, but we know from the RS article and the interviews that JoJo has done in the past, it seems to justify the abusive environment she’s creating within the group. JoJo is also notorious for invalidating other people’s experiences in abusive settings. To me, that lyric is a hidden form of cyclical abuse. Maybe if the lyric was switched to something like “keep it up” and minor grammatical changes were made, maybe the message would be a bit more positive.

On a more positive note, I like that the girls are doing a more mature sounding song and Penelope gets to sing

Are they trying to rebrand Dallas? If they went with what they did before then someone other than Dallas would be talking about all the singing and dancing and doing stuff for fans

I’m staying but I think in a few years I’m going to act like Eurovision 2024 never happened even though I really liked the songs this year

Another reason as to why Armenia may make it:

Rosa Linn wished them good luck on Instagram so they’ll be going to the grand final and getting either 20th place (her result) or 3rd place (the same result as the Yan Girls from JESC 2023 whom she also wished good luck to via Instagram)

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Denmark. I really hope they’ll make it

This video is so unfortunate

Don’t forget ABCD POP! because they’re sooo underrated

Denmark has grown on me a lot and now it’s my favorite of this year’s entries.

I’ve lost a little interest in Croatia but I still like it to some extent

Apart from the girls being tired, are they really certain that these shows are actually going to sell well? The other dates aren’t selling, why do they think the new ones will sell out in 2 months?

I wish they kept the Spanish in there and had Penelope sing it. If for some reason if they couldn’t do that and insisted Tinie T sing it, then they could’ve done it in Armenian. And even if that wasn’t possible for some reason, they could’ve had the other three echo the words “carpet” and “started”.

Also Tinie T has been doing Bella’s high note in live performances so I don’t see why they couldn’t have done an official re-recording of that part

I can see XOMG merch populating thrift stores in a few years

I guess exomg pop will be successful no matter what

1. What the contracts of the OG 3 looked like after Kinley and Bella left and what they look like now after the article
2. Whether or not the majority of the girls actually liked the songs they were singing
3. If the group is going to last much longer

She really should go solo. The most recent rap cover she did was posted a few months ago and it was inspired by Michael Jackson’s Thriller. She wasn’t wearing the XOMG POP! aesthetic at all and it felt like we were actually seeing her personality

Actual new music coming?

I agree that the only one that’s really popular is Candy Hearts. I guess my definition of “fairly popular” would be the songs that were almost always performed live. This would include PLAP, XOMG, Sparkle Queens, and Rock the Night.

I may be overthinking things, but maybe Diana didn’t want to hold up 5 fingers and did so reluctantly? When I initially saw the photo it took me a moment to realize that she was holding up her fingers. Everyone else that was holding up their fingers was holding their hand somewhat close to their faces but Diana’s hand was out in front of her and somewhat behind someone’s head. Again, I’m probably overthinking things, but she didn’t seem so enthusiastic to go along with the group.
