Demi Lovato began a weekly video chat series so I was hoping that other Disney stars would follow suit. As being a big fan of 78violet, I’m so very glad to get my fix! Unfortunately, they didn’t tour this year so I couldn’t rock out with them in concert – something I had been getting used to doing a couple times a year for the past two years.

I imagine that the big topic will be their name change. Why did they change from Aly and AJ, a name they’ve used since 2005, to 78violet? Do the girls think this change will hurt their already established fan base and brand image?

Thus far fan response has been favorable. Fans of the singing duo love them for their music so whatever they call themselves, we will still buy their CDs and attend their concerts.

Maybe this name change is their shift from being to “just a teen pop act” to a more mature sound? 78violet sounds more like a rock band than a duet.

What questions do you have for Aly and AJ / 78violet? Make sure you attend their Live Video Chat on Thursday, July 16, 2009 at 9pm EST / 6pm PST!!!
