Glad to see its been put back, there's proper promo time now. I really hope this becomes her 2nd consecutive top 5 hit!
Anything already got its first airplay on Capital Disney thanx to yours truly

Review from Billboard

JoJo does Toto. Delicious, and not just phonetically. This clever third single from the teen's sophomore album, "The High Road," takes the melodic hook from the group's 1982 No. 1 chestnut "Africa," places it on endless loop and adds an entirely new lyrical melody on top. Get that? "Anything" is not a cover, not a sample, but a new composition sung over the instrumental hook (it even opens with a small vocal sample from Toto). Breezy, loose vocals from our young heroine offer exceptional companionship to the music, which, surprisingly, avoids becoming monotonous thanks to the winding, escalating performance. Previous "How to Touch a Girl" failed to connect (likely the dreadful title) as "Too Little Too Late" did. "Anything" should restore JoJo's chart course, connecting with the kids and their moms, who will instantly pick up on the inventive gimmick (at least until they realize that JoJo was born eight years after the original song hit. Ouch).

 

good review....

^Great review, but has HTTAG been shelved in the US in favour of Anything now? Cos thats a review on Billboard which says How To Touch A Girl 'failed to connect'...
i thikn he meant that it was too "mature" for her kiddy fan base. like i dont think little 6 year olds are gonna be wanting to know how to touch a girl. people around our age maybe but for the fanbase that she has in america i doubt it
Oh okay. Well thats silly, her fanbase are probably people the same age as her!

need to get the album , i think every song could be a single, and her voice is amazing

i love it. hope anything does well

well im going promo crazy on this since her album hasnt done as well as it has done. so hopefully people will go mad on this song and go buy the album :D

The High Road has been certified silver now hasnt it?

i think thats silver. i think gold is 100k

 

Yeah it is, I think the sales are good considering the album never entered the Top20 and shes only released one single off it. Hopefully it will go gold if the next single does well ^_^ :wub:

ive started requesting like crazy on Kiss and capital disney and Smash hits. requested it twice today already. heard it once but that was before my requests
