KISS’s Gene Simmons shared with TMZ what he thinks about JoJo Siwa’s new ‘demon’ look.
Siwa walked the red carpet on Monday in an all-black mesh bodysuit at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. She added bold face paint and a faux hawk hairstyle to complete her look. People on the internet claimed that it was very similar to Simmons’ stage persona ‘The Demon’ with KISS.
The bassist said the following about JoJo’s costume and makeup:
“Never be ordinary. Always be extraordinary. JoJo is extraordinary, and she looks cool.”
How Did People React To Siwa’s Look?
Lots of fans didn’t like Siwa’s rock style. People on social media were curious about what was going on with her. One user on X wrote:
“WHAT THE HELL IS JOJO SIWA WEARING?! Is this supposed to be KISS-inspired? Did she lose a bet?”
Another one added:
“JoJo Siwa really heard that KISS was no longer actively touring and decided to sprint with it.”
A third comment said the following about her change:
“I get JoJo Siwa wanting to change her style, but where the hell did this KISS/WWE inspo come from.”
JoJo Is Back With A New Track
Siwa changed her style as she gets ready to release her new song ‘Karma’ on April 5. The singer spoke to People at the 2024 GLAAD Awards about this change:
“I feel like a lot of child stars started as a character, then they grew into an adult as themselves. Whereas for me, I’ve always been myself, you know what I mean? And so to make this transition while being true to myself, while being artistic, has been interesting to figure out. But I think we’ve nailed it and I think it definitely makes a massive statement. Maybe even too big of a statement, but I think it’s going to be a good one.”
After KISS’s farewell last December, Simmons said goodbye to his ‘The Demon’ persona, but he continues his solo career. The rocker’s solo band will perform at Brazil’s Summer Breeze Music Festival in late April.
