Some Filipinos who watch this performance said they were hit by nostalgia following this.
“Getting all the nostalgia watching Jojo perform Too Little, Too Late. It’s still on my Spotify playlist! Woot. #70thMissUniverse,” a Twitter user said.
“Omg Jojo! Nostalgia, my childhood memories,” another online user tweeted.
“Jojo singing ‘Too Little Too Late’ is giving me the nostalgia #MissUniverse2021,” a Twitter user said.
The chart-topping artist released “Too Little Too Late” in 2006 under the studio album “The High Road.”
Jojo released her self-title debut album at the age of 13. She is also known for breakout smash “Leave (Get Out)” that made her the youngest-ever solo artist to have a debut no. 1 single in the U.S.
Based on her profile, JoJo re-recorded and re-released her first two albums (JoJo and The High Road) under her own label Clover Music in 2018, “so her fans could finally get the nostalgia they had been missing for so many years.”
Aside from Jojo, Israeli pop superstar Noa Kirel also performed at the 70th edition of Miss Universe held in Eilat, Israel.
