JoJo checked in with her Twitter followers (@JoJoistheway) on Friday (December 17), talking about being unattached. The 19-year-old, prepping to finally release her third album ‘All I Want Is Everything’ next year, tells readers:

I LOVE being single. Having someone to love and love you back is BEAUTIFUL. No doubt. But at this time in my life, I enjoy my independence, privacy, and space. I have the chance to make mistakes, learn my likes and dislikes, so when the time comes to settle down, there will be no question as to “Am I rushing into this? Am i doing the right thing?” While I focus on myself and my career, I am learning to embrace The Single Woman that I am. Loving my friends, my family, and my work associates. Exploring the world with my own two eyes, on my terms.

JoJo checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace (@jojoonline) on Tuesday (September 7), discussing the release of her free mixtape ‘Can’t Take That Away From Me’. The 19-year-old writes:

I’m so thrilled to present new music to you! As confused as I am about the current situation with the actual album, I can only imagine how confused you must be too. I often speak vaguely about what’s going on because I want to take the high road and not throw anyone under the bus. As tempting as it is to go public with every single detail, I’m trying to stay professional. But, my fans have been waiting way too long and at the end of the day- I’m a singer! A songwriter! An artist! It pains me not to be sharing what I love with those who want to receive it. It’s a really crazy thing when your career, your livelihood, and the thing you love the most is out of your hands. In releasing this mixtape, I’m affirming that even though some have tried they CANT TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME. What is THAT? My voice, my spirit, my drive, my dreams. As you listen to these songs, I hope that they make your head nod, your mind tick, your emotions move, your belly laugh, and maybe elicit a “stanky face” or something ;) Lol. ….

JoJo checked in with her Twitter followers (@JoJoistheway) Saturday evening, revealing that she was involved in an automobile accident and she had lost her voice and has been ordered by her doctor to rest her vocals. JoJo writes:

Got into a four car accident earlier. I thank God that no one was injured and everyone was cooperative and not mean to each other. First accident I was ever involved in. Also, doctor still has me on vocal rest until next week. I’ll be attending event tonight but not performing. I’m so sorry. I feel SO bad about it, but need to focus on the long term and recovery of my voice. Dont want 2 overdo it! :/
