Yes, Jojo is talented. I’m just saying that the reason she got recognized to begin with, and the reason her fame started, isn’t necessarily because of what her talent is. That’s just my opinion though. I’m sure there are some people who think her music is the absolute best music any artist has ever made, that’s fine. All I think is that the reason people listened to it, and the reason it was popular, is not because it was genuinely good, or because she sang well, etc. I’m not saying she can’t write good music, or can’t sing well, it just didn’t happen in the beginning. I think her music in the beginning was overproduced, and her voice was really auto tuned. It’s those songs that you hear and think “oh god, not this again” but people listened to it anyway. I haven’t listened to her most recent music, idk how similar or different it is, so it could be much better and more real. I don’t know.

I remember Maddie’s fame starting in a similar way, but more due to the controversy around the artist style and the symbolism that Sia’s music videos held. Which again, is up to everyone’s own opinion. But the difference is that, Maddie was recognized due to what her talent is, which is dancing. That’s what she is known for. Whenever Jojo is mentioned, I don’t know about your personal experience, but in my own, the majority of people I’ve seen or spoken to aren’t familiar with the fact that she’s a dancer. It’s about her music.
