Kim Carnes Seemingly Shades JoJo Siwa Over Her ‘Bette Davis Eyes’ Cover
HuffPost
The Grammy-winning legend has since deleted her TikTok about the 22-year-old’s cover.
JoJo Siwa’s new cover of “Bette Davis Eyes” doesn’t appear to be resonating with singer Kim Carnes, who first made the song famous 44 years ago.
Carnes seemingly dismissed Siwa’s rendition of “Bette Davis Eyes” while sharing a throwback clip of the original 1981 music video for the song in a since-deleted TikTok Wednesday.
“There is a difference between singing a song.... And embodying it....” Carnes wrote in the post, which was captured for posterity on the New York Post’s Page Six, among other outlets, as well as on social media.
She went on to note, “I’m forever grateful to be the voice behind this one..... Bette Davis Eyes.”
Carnes, who resides in Nashville, Tennessee, didn’t mention Siwa by name in the post. However, Siwa had by then already been teasing the Friday release of her “Bette Davis Eyes” cover on social media.
