Hey M Girls!

Recently we chatted with teen actress, singer and dancer Coco Jones! She dished about her music, idols and the Super Bowl! Coco's dad was in the NFL, so it is a hot topic in the Jones' household.

Didja know Coco sang the National Anthem before a NFL game when she was only nine years old? Check out more of what she told us below!

M: So I listened to your song "Holla at the DJ" and it's very catchy. How would you describe it?
CJ: I would describe it as energetic, different, and memorable.

M: What's your fave line from the song?
CJ: My favorite line...Okay, when I say 'fresh off the flight with my brand new shoes on. They ain't even out yet, let me introduce 'em.' I think that's really cool. It's basically like I'm introducing these shoes and starting a worldwide trend.

M: Can you name three people that inspire you?
CJ: Yes, umm, Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, and I'm going to say Selena Gomez. I really like who she is.

M: Are you excited for the Super Bowl?
CJ: I am excited, but I'm sorry, the main part is I'm excited about seeing Beyonc! You know I was going to say it! They shouldn't have brought her in 'cause now its like I don't even care about the game.

M: Who are you rooting for?
CJ: It depends. There's a big rivalry going on in my house. My brother is picking one side. My dad's picking the other, so I'm still torn.

M: What was it like singing the National Anthem for the first time? I saw you did that when you were 9 years old.
CJ: Yes, I did. It was great. I stood in front of 40,000 people which was the best thing. I really hate singing in front of like smaller groups, but the bigger they are, the more crazy I go!

M: Wow -- that's awesome!
CJ: Yeah, I was not nervous at all. I remember at the end everybody wanted to touch my hand and I was like 'they wanna touch my hand!' So, I went around the whole stadium and I was like hey touching everybody's hand. It was so crazy!

Hey M Girls,

Yesterday we chatted with Coco Jones and she dished about her upcoming guest spot on Sunday night's episode of "Good Luck Charlie"! Check out what she told us below.

M: What can fans expect from your "GLC" episode?
CJ:They can expect it to be hilarious. This episode involves a big decision that Teddy confides in her friends to help her make, and there's a lot of twists in the plot.

M: Can you relate to your character?
CJ: I definitely relate to Kelsey. She's always happy and she tries to make sure that the people around her are happy. She is really sweet and innocent... sometimes a little TOO sweet and innocent. That's where we differ.

M: What other shows would you like to guest star on?
CJ: I'd guest star on every show ever with a musical number and dance to go with it. If I have to narrow it down, I would love to be a visiting dancer on "Shake It Up," the girl with a talking cat on "Dog With A Blog," an exchange student on "Ant Farm," a highly sought-after teen scientist on "Lab Rats," or a competing songwriter on "Austin and Ally." Let's get these scripts written, I'm ready!

M: Can you share any funny moments that happened on set?
CJ: In between takes when we were filming, Bridget Mendler (Teddy) and Leigh-Allyn Baker (her mom) would sing this old Salt N' Pepa song. They had moves to go along with it, too. It was hilarious. That whole cast is funny on screen and off.

M: What's your favorite Disney show or movie?
CJ: Of course, my favorite Disney movie is "Let It Shine," but my second favorite is the Cheetah Girls. I would sing and dance to every song from the soundtrack. My favorite Disney show is "That's So Raven." I loved watching Raven Symone do her thing! She is so talented, and did a fantastic job with all of her different faces and characters on her show.
