JoJo Siwa strikes again with another eyebrow-raising move. The former Dance Moms star has social media in complete chaos this week. Her latest musical venture combines heavy auto-tune with a dramatic image overhaul that nobody saw coming.
JoJo Siwa is getting dragged on social media after teasing her studio cover of Kim Carnes’ 1981 hit “Bette Davis Eyes.” The TikTok clip showcases Siwa’s rendition of the classic song. But fans aren’t celebrating her musical interpretation. Instead, they’re questioning every creative choice she made.
Auto-Tune Overload and Vintage Transformation Leave Fans Bewildered About Jojo Siwa’s New Drop
The real controversy centers on Siwa’s excessive use of auto-tune throughout the performance. “She’s really overdoing the raspiness.” Critics describe her vocals as artificially enhanced beyond recognition. The digital manipulation creates a jarring listening experience that sounds nothing like her natural voice. However, the video was ridiculed online with people begging her not to put it out.

Siwa’s complete visual transformation adds another layer to the online discussion. The former Dance Moms star and singer has stunned fans by unveiling a new look inspired by none other than the legendary Bette Davis. She traded her signature bright aesthetic for vintage Hollywood glamour. Red lipstick, pearl necklaces, and curled hair replaced her typical colorful style. “JoJo Siwa going from Goth punk pop wannabe to housewife was not on my 2025 bingo card,” wrote one. “She’s in her trad wife era,” a second shared.
The performance clip has generated massive attention across social platforms. Millions of views translate into countless reaction videos and commentary threads. JoJo Siwa changed the lyrics of the song ‘Bette Davis Eyes’ onstage to include the name of her boyfriend Chris Hughes, who was watching from the audience. Her boyfriend Chris Hughes publicly defended the cover amid the backlash. Meanwhile, Siwa teased releasing the complete version later this week, promising even more online discourse ahead.
