    This song feels different knowing that Jenette wasn't really following her dream, but obeying her mom so the bills would be paid. I can't imagine what singing this was like for her

      @@lcjones3907 I think deep down she still really loves her mama, she just wishes that her mother listened to her and now she has a book called "I'm glad my mom's dead" instead. I hope her and her mother reconciled before she died because that title is really sad to repeat.

      Everything she says in her book about what she went through. It makes total sense because you know her mom forced her to do acting, but I don’t think she minds doing the singing career part, because she does have a really good singing voice, even though she retired from acting and being in the entertainment industry, it’s great to see that she knows that we still like listening to her country music and watching her on Nickelodeon shows.

    Excerpt from I'm Glad My Mom Died.
    "Not That Far Away,” a song written from “my” point of view (by a couple of songwriters I sat next to for a few hours) to my mother, about being on the road without her and how much I miss her, even though in reality I’ve never spent more than a few hours away from her in all my eighteen years
    I don’t know much about music, but I know as I listen to this song that I find the rhythm un-rhythmic, the melody one-note, and the production outdated. I express none of these thoughts because of how much Mom loves it. Tears are streaming down her cheeks. Granted, I don’t think they’re just tears of joy. There’s a weight to them too, a significance, and I think I know why. Life has imitated art, if you can call this song that. (You can’t.)

    • @yaitsares
      @yaitsares 8 лет назад +3

      She only did country music because the icarly writers were on a writers block and was told that since she had blonde hair she should do country music. She didn't enjoy doing country music at all. She still likes to sing but not professionally. (She said this in an interview 😂I didn't just make it up)

      I believe she said this in a Shane Dawson interview....I think...or its her interview with Pete Holmes. Don't get me wrong, she loves to sing, and no it wasn't just her hair color...that was just one of the contributing factors of doing country music😂 she said she really didn't enjoy it as much as she let on 😂 I'm like writing an essay here so I'm gonna stop 😩😌

Now I feel guilty for watching you all these years knowing that it wasn’t your choice. It wasn’t your choice to be on iCarly or to make this song. You were suffering and NONE of us knew. Im glad you’re on you’re own path now. Im glad you wrote your story, just as you say in this song.. “mama I’m going to write the story of my life” and you did.

    Im on page 128 and now I see in her eyes the sorrow. Never even knew this existed. Sam was my favorite and I watched icarly and Loved it and collected everything because I caught an episode while I babysat my best friends 9 year old. I was 36 at the time. Spencer and Sam with the blow dart paint guns. When Sam stood in for Carly at the pageant and tap danced --- she was incredible and I was shocked and those people running that show knew I would be. And I told people. And they started watching it. And then Sam and Cat came on and I STILL loved Sam. I missed Spencer, and I couldnt stand Cat. But then Ariana came out later with 99 Problems and I think she is an incredible singer, Im so sorry Jennette. And I really feel I need to say Thank You because you gave me so much joy. And a lot of difficult times happened to me that you carried me through. You are actually a truly gifted actor for putting on a smile during all of this horror you personally endured. This book is only half read and Im bawling. So if i ever cross paths with you, I will be the one who respects your privacy. I will be the one you dont even know recognized you. i will be the one silently reading every book you ever write on any subject. Because your acting only brought me joy. But your writing has reached down my throat and grabbed my heart. Just : thank you thank you thank you.

    Lyrics: Not That Far Away
    They're playin' guitars with stars their eyes on Broadway
    They're just paying their dues
    And waitin' for news on a big break
    I wish you were here
    Cuz sometimes I get lonely
    Guess I'm not the only new girl in town
    Momma I promise I'll be alright
    I'll call to say I love you every night
    I'm just tryin' to write the story my life
    You know all about this dream I gotta chase
    I get a little closer everyday
    California is not that far away
    I'm not that far away
    There's so many new faces and beautiful places in this town
    I'm learnin' the ropes on this crazy road I'm goin' down
    I'm makin' my way
    No one said that it'd be easy
    Trust me believe me
    I'm where I belong
    Momma I promise I'll be alright
    I'll call to say I love you every night
    I'm just tryin' to write the story my life
    You know all about this dream I gotta chase
    I get a little closer everyday
    California is not that far away
    I'm not that far away
    We're miles apart
    But you're in my heart
    I keep you with me everywhere I go
    Momma I promise I'll be alright
    I'll call to say I love you every night
    I'm just tryin' to write the story my life
    You know all about this dream I gotta chase
    I get a little closer everyday
    California is not that far away
    I'm not that far away
    I'm not that far away
    I'm not that far away
