Wieder mal ein sehr schönes Lied: "Get Out" von JoJo
Die 13-jährige JoJo ist mit ihrem Song "Leave (Get Out)" in den USA auf Platz 1 der Single-Charts gelandet.
Warum ich das hier anspreche ist das Marketing des Kindes und der Songtext. Auf dem Plattencover sehen wir ein junges Mädchen das geschminkt ist wie für den Babystrich. Im Video trägt sie u. a. ein hautenges Oberteil. Auf den Kindertitten ist "Boys stink" zu lesen.
Im Song geht es darum, dass sie ihren Freund rausschmeißt, weil dieser ihre Freundin angerufen hat:
LEAVE (GET OUT)
I've been waiting all day for ya babe
So won't cha come and sit and talk to me
And tell me how we're gonna be together always
Hope you know that when it's late at night
I hold on to my pillow tight
And think of how you promised me forever
(I never thought that anyone)
Could make me feel this way
(Now that you're here boy all I want)
Is just a chance to say
[Chorus:]
Get Out, (leave) right now,
It's the end of you and me
It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone
'Cause I know about her (who) and I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies
You said that you would treat me right but you was just a waste of time (waste of time)
Tell me why you're looking so confused
When I'm the one who didn't know the truth
How could you ever be so cold?
To go behind my back and call my friend
Boy you must have gone and bumped your head
Because you left her number on your phone
(So now after all is said and done)
Maybe I'm the one to blame but
(To think that you could be the one)
Well it didn't work out that way
[Chorus]
Get Out, (leave) right now,
It's the end of you and me
It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone
'Cause I know about her (who) and I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies
You said that you would treat me right but you was just a waste of time (waste of time)
I wanted you right here with me but I have no choice you've gotta leave
Because my heart is breakin'
With every word I'm sayin'
I gave up everything I had
On something that just wouldn't last
But I refuse to cry
No tears will fall from these
Eyeee-eeee-eeees
Ooooh, ooooh
Get out
[Chorus 3x]
Get Out, (leave) right now,
It's the end of you and me
It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone
'Cause I know about her (who) and I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies
You said that you would treat me right but you was just a waste of time (waste of time)
Natürlich trifft das 13-jährige Mädchen keine eigenen Entscheidungen:
If Jojo isn't on guard, it's clear her manager-mother, Diana Levesque, is. "I'm protecting her because this business is so notorious for being sleazy," Levesque said. Perhaps that's why she turned down the first three major deals that her daughter was offered before signing with Blackground/Universal. And when it comes to wardrobe, high heels and lyrics, "there's definitely been issues ... she's my little girl," Levesque said. She has been protecting her only child for Jojo's entire life.
While many children her age were hanging out at the mall on weekends, Jojo was often on free or reduced-lunch programs. Her mother earned a living cleaning houses and singing for churches, and the two shared a bed in their one-bedroom apartment in Foxboro. "My friends would want to go to the movies and go to the malls, and most of the time, I couldn't," she said. Jojo performed any small gig she could find, and her mother would save her hard-earned money to make sure the two could afford travel expenses.
Was mich dies hier zur Sprache bringen lässt, ist vor allem mein Erstaunen, dass dieses Marketing so gut funktioniert. Man legt einem Kind misandrische Texte in den Mund, putzt sie zur Kindernutte heraus und niemand scheint das zu stören. Für mich zeigt das, wie weit die Misandrie in der amerikanischen Gesellschaft bereits verwurzelt ist.
Was meint ihr dazu?
