Siwas Dance Pop Revolution
What's the Story?
SIWAS DANCE POP RESOLUTION is a reality competition show featuring young, talented girls competing for a spot in a new pop group. Seventeen year old dancer and YouTube sensation JoJo Siwa and her mom, Jessalyn, are creating XOMG POP, an all-kid group that will produce original pop music. After searching across the country for potential group members, 11 girls are selected to compete in an 8-week long audition for a spot on what they hope will become a pop culture phenomenon. Each week, a child is eliminated. Throughout it all, Jessalyn pushes them hard, and both JoJo and Jessalyn share what they've learned during JoJo's rise to stardom.
Is It Any Good?
This high-energy, colorful series features lots of young pop star hopefuls and their mothers as they vy for a coveted place in JoJo and Jessalyn Siwa latest glittery entertainment venture. While the dancing, music, colorful costumes, and Siwa-brand imagery are designed to appeal to the dancer's young fans, much of the story highlights the fact that what the girls are auditioning for is a business, and that the expectations placed on them, and the cuts being made, all happen within this context. Meanwhile, while the families are pleasant, and the overall tone of the show is positive, Siwas Dance Pop Revolution still features its fair share of parents putting pressure on their kids. This seems to be supported by Jessalyn, who is very clear about the fact that JoJo would not have succeeded without her. All this being said, JoJo Siwa fans will be excited about the show, and no doubt will enjoy it.
