you may have heard but the singer jo o'meara is releasing her new solo single 'what hurts the most' on 26th sept she has an azmaing and powerful voice just like karen carpenter, if you know anything about jo, you will know how much she loves and is inspired by karen, she has been jo's idol since a young age its thanks to karen that jo was determined to sing, i think its fantastic that we have jo around now - and i bet karen would be sooo proud of her and is lovin the fact that sum one like her is around. anyway if you would like more info on jo visit her new official site at www.joomearaofficial.com, karen is mentioned on there too! and jo's forums are at www.jomeara.org/forum |

Hi Sarah welcome to the forum! Thank you for your post. I took a look at Jo's site. I really enjoyed looking through the picture gallery. I especially like pictures # 7 and 10. Looks like Jo's was having a fun time taking the pictures. |

???Hi Sarah welcome to the site. I listened to Jo's clip and its really good! I was complaining about the lack of good new music and Ricks said its out there you just have to look. Looks like it found me. I wish her album the best. It really takes a lot of hard work and determination to produce even a single. I think she has a good shot at a bullet.

awwww thanks for the welcome guys, well i obv don't knnow karen and richard and their music as well as all of you cos im bit too young but i have heard alot about them and heard some of their music through my mum and through jo.
i'm so glad your all liking jo and her music, there are high hopes for her, i went to see her this morning and shes doing great! she was on tv singing and doing interviews on gmtv. altho it was 7am in the morning she still always manages to crack me up - shes really funny and jokey kindda girl which is great.
jo has grown up liking karen carpenter all her life when she was only young she used to have a tough time at school but she has said she always used to go home lock her self in her room and sing her lil heart out to the carpenters.
also i don't know if you are aware of this but before her solo career completely started apparently richard wanted to work with her, but jo didnt stay with that management company she was with at that time and altho she wanted to do it she wasnt keen on going to america because of missing family and friends and not forgetting fans! lol
