Why even call it The Jazz Singer?


It was more like the Lite FM singer.

The only reason it's called The Jazz Singer is that it's a remake of a known film that was remade once before. But you're right, in this version the music is pop, not jazz as the earlier versions. Other than that, the story is the same.

They kept the name as tribute to the original but updated the music and story to the context of the then present day.
