JoJo Siwa

Yes. Like a dream. Oh. That's so cute.

Young Hollywood

Okay, Jojo, did you and Jess, did you think this was gonna be the group? Did you have your eyes on them the whole time?

JoJo Siwa

You know it's interesting, I feel like in the beginning when we first started the process, no. Not at all. I think we we, we knew for a few of them but I feel like everyone had a different journey. I feel like week one, I mean, Kinley is a perfect example, week one, Kinley was just kind of Kinley. Kinley was amazing. But then, you know, week four of the process when she dyed her hair, we were all like, whoa, Kinley. And so it like it transformed her and that was the week that she became a member of the group. And and Dallas, I feel like Dallas really had a lot of stand out moments. Brooklyn had a lot of stand out moments. Everyone, one of these kids had such stand out moments, but we when we knew, we knew.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, that's so cute. And uh, okay, so everyone go around what is how would you describe Jojo and Jess in one word? You can start with you, Dallas. Oh, up there. You want to, Dallas you want to start?

Young Hollywood

And so you have the Dream Tour coming up January 13th, going on tour.

JoJo Siwa

They're gonna be performing, what are you guys gonna perform? Candy Hearts. Oh, they're gonna perform their song Candy Hearts that comes out December 17th. The song and music video. Uh, they're gonna perform that in a few select cities with me and I'm so excited.

Young Hollywood

What do you feel now that you're the official group? When you get up on stage, are you gonna be nervous, are you gonna be excited? Because it's a big stage that Jojo plays on. You better not be nervous.

JoJo Siwa

We're so excited. We're gonna let all the nerves go. Yeah, no pressure. I feel like nerves ruin your performance. If you're nervous, you get in your head and it messes you up. You just gotta feel confident with yourself. I think we're so excited to get in front of all of the fans and perform in Jojo's show and just be together as a pop group and like do all of these amazing things.

Young Hollywood

I love it. Has Jojo given you any advice that you took to heart?

JoJo Siwa

Maybe just have fun. Don't be nervous. Oh, I've given them the utmost advice. Oh, I know one. What's one? She told us don't look dead inside when we're performing. It's very Like if you're like don't look dead inside. Keep pushing. Stronger when you're weaker. Stronger when you're weaker. Oh. And then. Oh yeah. She, oh, thank you. She also told us this recently, when you go 110%, when your music is on, you don't even feel anything. You just all the nerves are gone and everything is just wow. Yeah. She also told us never let the nerves ruin the fun and when you're performing. And she also told us, just be you. Don't try to be like somebody else. Just be yourself. And if you go like over 100% in rehearsal every time you do it, then you're gonna be even better on stage and you're gonna do it even better than you did in rehearsal. That just makes perfect. That's right.

Young Hollywood

With all the little ones running around, does that remind you of Jojo in any way at that age?

JoJo Siwa

You know, I always say like there's no such thing as another Jojo, but I've definitely found some really fun, talented girls to work with and I see a little Jojo in each of them. A little in their own way. Yes. It's important to me that they're themselves, but I do see a lot of Jojo in them. That's cute.

Young Hollywood

Okay, we're gonna play a little game. You ready?

JoJo Siwa

Yes.

Young Hollywood

So I figure, I figure it'd be good cause you guys you can say it out loud, but you can also point because it's who's most likely. So there's a bunch of scenarios.

JoJo Siwa

I love that game. Oh yeah.

Young Hollywood

And then you'll point. Okay. Who's most likely? So say behind the scenes when you're filming the show or now present day. Who's the most likely to know all of the latest TikTok trends?

You get a big one. Yeah. They're doing this. There you go.

Young Hollywood

Who's most likely to rewatch the show the most?

JoJo Siwa

Yeah. Yeah. For sure. I'll be binge watching it all over again. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

And for when you do watch the show back, do you got have you all watched it back? Are you slowly watching it now that it's out on Peacock?

JoJo Siwa

I've watched it a lot. We watched it a lot. We lived it. Yeah. Lived it and watched it, I love it.

Young Hollywood

Um, who's most likely to make the room laugh the most?

JoJo Siwa

Kinley. Yeah. Yeah. Kinley. Tinie's funny too. Yeah. Kinley dancing with the Lollipop. Lollipop. To Kinley dancing with the Lollipop. I love how it's the Lollipop.

Young Hollywood

And so, okay, so this was pretty, you guys being the group was a pretty good Christmas present, I would say.

JoJo Siwa

Yeah. Oh yeah, really early Christmas present.

Young Hollywood

What's one other thing that you would want for Christmas? Each of you. Like one word or an item. Jojo and Jess too. You guys have to say what you want for Christmas. What do you think I want? You want to perform at the Super Bowl. I know. Jojo, that's, we wouldn't rule that out. I feel like one day we're not ruling that out.

JoJo Siwa

I want, I want to perform at the Super Bowl and I want for, for Christmas though, I want a six-pack of abs. Hey, that that could be fun. We could get that. I almost wanted a girlfriend. That was my second to last, but I was like it's a little soon. It's a little, it's a little soon but I would, I would, I would take a girlfriend for Christmas. She literally said, she said Jojo. She said Jojo. Kinley calls me out on all of my things. She does, she gets up in care, she's ruthless. Kinley. The other day Kinley was calling me out on all my friends that have exited my life for a very good reason. She's not on purpose. She kept asking she was like, how's this person? I was like, I don't know, five years. How am I supposed to know? She gets all the good tea. She does. All the good tea. Kinley is the girl we need to talk to on camera.

JoJo Siwa

And what would you say is the biggest thing, even for Jojo and Jess, like you have this new group, what is the biggest things that have changed about your life so far now that you're entering a very different stage of your life being the final group. Yeah. I actually was just texting someone today and I was like, it's funny, I've always wanted a little sister and now I have seven of them. And I feel like it's like a mom when they're pregnant for the first time and they're excited they're having a baby and then they get the ultrasound and it's like, it's triplets. And you're like, oh, triplets except for this is septuplets. Whatever, and I, I mean, I'm just so lucky. These guys are the bestest ever. I feel like it's interesting, a lot of time for me personally has gotten taken away from my own career. And it's interesting cause I'll sit back and I'll be like, have I done anything for my career in the last five days? And I'll be like, yes, I have, I just haven't even noticed it because it's just kind of going on autopilot, but I've been so focused on them that it's like, I just kind of trust that what I'm doing is gonna work and then I put all my effort into them.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, I love it. And for Jess, how about you like having this, you know, girl gang below you? You know, it's like doing it all over again. You know, it has like the Dance Moms feelings. It has like the Jojo feelings. It has for me like the boomerang like writing the first song, shooting the first music video. I think too, you know, it's it's interesting the timing of all of this because I am now sort of transitioning into adulthood, right? And I think being on Dancing with the Stars, everyone got to see my transition live as it was happening and it still is happening. But I feel like for you personally as a mom, it's like you still have seven little girls. So it's a little easier for me to grow up because you have them, you know what I mean?

JoJo Siwa

Totally. Exactly. It's such a good point though because like everything is changing, but you have this like new generation of like little pop stars. It's cool, it's really cool. I love it.

Young Hollywood

And for you guys, did you watch Dancing with the Stars? Did you watch Jojo?

Guest

Yeah. And then we voted. Yeah, I'd ask Jojo to like teach us like, um, some of her like dance moves. Yes. Like the Mickey Challenge. Kinley and I would be at dance every weekend. We would be about about to go to ballet. And then we'd be in there and then we'd be like, wait, do we vote for Jojo? And for and then when we got a break, we would run out and vote. Yeah. Every time that Jojo got a perfect score, we would all send her videos of screaming and jumping up and down. Yes. Yes.

Young Hollywood

And Jojo and Jess, are you excited for tour life? Are you ready to go out there?

JoJo Siwa

Oh yeah. We are so excited. I'm excited. I'm excited for my friends to come see the show and like be back in that environment. You know, it's gonna be the best 90 days. I'm very, very, very excited and for these kiddos, it's gonna be a part of it. It's just gonna be a blast.

Young Hollywood

Can we get like passes?

JoJo Siwa

Yeah. So cool. We're gonna fly a lot. I always watch from the sound booth. I just can't wait to sit there, eat some popcorn and finally chill out, watch it, watch it all go down. All the hard work fell.

Young Hollywood
