Jason explains that he’s still using his old camera because he left his brand new fancy camera on the bus in LA. Sorrow! He mentions the awesomeness of the Salt Lake City crowd, and that he just passed 5 million views on his My Space. “We’re not worthy! says Carly…

    I actually find myself disagreeing with the part about promotion. I think it is SO important, and that the fanbase you gain from Idol is just not enough to start your career on (see Chris Richardson and probably Ace Young).

    Ace Is signed with an indie label but he has distribution from a major. They loved the CD, so they picked him up after it was finished.

    prime, we agree once again.

    Thanks for the links to the article and videos.

    I liked the Indy.com article. I’m happy that Jason is writing and recording songs and I hope that the rest works out in ways best for him. Jason will put his heart and soul into the music that he makes and I can’t wait to buy it. The last two quotes in the article make it seems as if Jason will be OK with whatever happens, no matter what happens. No desperation. Good for him. His faith really works for him.

    Since he is a writer, I hope that he will take Elliott’s route and get a publishing deal and then an Indie label deal. I like the idea of Jason having more creative freedom and getting 50% instead of the small percentage major labels give to new artists. Elliott’s team worked hard for him and he worked to make it all work out so well. I would love for Jason to be all over radio and on tour this time next year. It may or may not be what he wants though. We’ll see.

    Jason needs a good manager who believes in him, who is already respected in the music business and who knows how to set him up with companies and services to get Jason proper promotion and distribution of his music/CD.

    Jason’s not completely new to the business. He was with a band and I’m sure the band probably researched record deals.

    The Utah interview video was great. Jason was more at ease than the interviewer. The guy had good questions and Jason gave good answers. It’s great that he has the day off on Mandy’s birthday. Skydiving! Oh My! Hope they have fun. I guess AI will have a new clause in the tour contracts next year prohibiting skydiving while on tour. LOL.

    It was creepy watching that girl stroking Jason’s arm in that fan video. Personal space people, personal space.

    Thanks so much for the link. I did look for it, but not in the right place!

    Jason’s part of the interview was really fun. Skydiving!? Good luck!

    You’re welcome, jennie. :)

    LOL. arm rape!

    It’s a good thing Jason wasn’t then garbed like this. Whew! LOL

  8. 58 sumidol Jul 17th, 2008 at 12:52 pm

    Ok Purple, now THAT is a very nice photo of Jason and I am sure a whole lot of young ladies would have liked to just scoop him up. Thats all I can say on that because my son Christian owns and wears pants Just like that and I would feel much toooo creepy going on about it. Hmmm - I think I had better buy my son some different pants - maybe some big old bloomers - ha

  9. 59 Grammie Kari Jul 17th, 2008 at 1:22 pm

    Oh, I had these thoughts that if I was about 20 years old and standing next to Jason, could I resist? Would I be strong enough not to touch but just look? Maybe it was just an impulse thing? LOL!

    WOW!!! I love that picture, Purp. Where did you find that picture and do you have a few hundred more from that day?

    I guess I need to do some research for pictures from SLC.

    :”Hey! Jason’s MySpace page passed 1 million plays today!”

    I think 1/2 of that million was due to all of your efforts

  29. 79 purplesmile Jul 20th, 2008 at 2:00 am

    LOL. sumidol. I’m afraid I didn’t contribute too much to that. Bad fan I am. Heh.

    Great news! I think I have to take credit for Jason passing that million plays mark, heh. I managed to find a way to have 4 players playing at once! LOL

    Whoooop! But if they are popout players, MySpace says only one counts. (But if you use different browsers, stay on the MySpace page, and don’t log in on more than one of them….*cough, cough*) :biggrin_wp:

    Nice review of St. Louis from MasterClassLady; since the thread is mostly about the Davids, I’ll extract:

    “Over the Rainbow”, uploaded by lfty7: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=k_qRf4Omk_Y

    This is a pretty good video of Jason, but the audio is not as strong as in other footage I have seen.

    Yet, Jason is much more fluid with his phrase lines, not breathing as often and/or carrying the ends of his phrases a little longer before he breathes again.

    He needs to work on supporting the lower end of this melodic line, as this is where his voice starts to fade. Also, articulating the words with increased precision would help him, as it does when he enters the higher part of his vocal range.

    However, this song definitely has more vocal presence than it did earlier in the tour. His head voice is very good indeed and wonderfully centered.

    And the fans are crazy nuts for this talented young singer. Good work Jason.

    “Crazy”, uploaded by southerngirl1982 http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=1IXL1J-yr_k

    Wow - what a difference in the audio in this footage. Jason’s voice sounds excellent - really confident and rich.

    He handles the upper “crazy” notes very well. That “ay” dihthong is such a stickler for all the singers, but he really trys to project the purer “eh” vowel and, wonder of wonders, it works!

    This is overall a very very strong performance and it appears that he has reached an agreeable comfort level with the generally high tessitura of this song.

    Excellent work Jason. Little by little your technical skills are enhancing and solidifying vocal delivery. Bravo my man!

    And a snip of “Daydream”, (with commentary!) uploaded by ,marbear930 http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=i4qeN4KyvtE

    This was a 42 second clip, but, you only need a bite out of the apple to know that it’s good. Jason sounds terrific - very energized and animated. He sings this number with a playful and relaxed vocal delivery - very expressive and always so much fun to watch.

    Superb trio of songs. It just gets better and better for Jason, doesn’t it?

    Yep! Better every performance!
