JoJo: "I Turned Down Hannah Montana Because I Didn't Want To Be A Manufactured Artist Like Hilary Duff."



Pop starlet JoJo Levesque sounded off on her Myspace blog about rumors that have been circulating lately. JoJo revealed that she did not turn down the role of Hannah Montana because of her hectic schedule. Here is the real reason straight from the horse's mouth:

"I was not interested in doing a television show like that because I did not want to be that kind of artist. I am more concerned with being a legitimate artist; not one created for the captive tween audience, from a television show. They were going to use the same formula that they did with Hillary Duff and her show, and I did not want to be a manufactured..

..artist. I wanted to do it on my own; the old fashioned way; with talent, determination, and hard work, and without a television show, which is fed to the tween masses. This is the same reason I have turned down every reality show that has been offered to me, since I signed my record deal. For me, it is about integrity."

Do you think JoJo is bitter that she turned down the role that made Miley one of the biggest stars in the world? Or do you think she actually wants to become a 'legitimate' artist?
