Jason Derulo Performs On ‘America’s Got Talent’

Published: Thursday 2nd Sep 2010 by Trent

Jason Derulo hit the stage at the ‘America’s Got Talent’ semifinals last evening. The Michael Jackson impersonator singer/songwriter performed his hit ‘Ridin’ Solo’. Peep all the action below:

Clearly the crowd was being prompted to cheer on cue because there was absolutely nothing about that performance to scream about. From his tired footwork to the imitation Michael Jackson outfit and laser show, Derulo’s stage presence was far from exciting.

There is no question that Derulo is indeed talented but how he chooses to express that talent is problematic. Maybe he should leave the dancing and theatrics to those who are naturally gifted in those departments – Chris Brown and Usher – and focus on developing his vocal ability. Survey says: fail.

Thoughts?

    such an awful/uninspired performance.

  2. annie September 2, 2010

    He should just stick to singing don’t dance. He doesn’t have the creativity for stage presence. He needs to quit with all the over doing it. It’s makes it hard on him. Just be yourself Jason. Stop with the over the top stuff. Usher, Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake can pull it off because they have stage presence and are creative enough for it and plus they are really damn good at it too.

    no offence but all you do is hate on sucessful young artists, even if they aren’t groundbreaking at least they’ve got somewhere you bitter dissapointment

  5. mickjoe17 September 2, 2010

    I went to see him in concert and he was shite. Music too loud, mic too low and he cut his set by 20-25 mins! Not good!

  6. OddOne September 2, 2010

    what an awful way to remember Michael… he was so much better than this clown.

  11. Robier September 2, 2010

    Who signed this tragedy?? People get dropped from Labels for doing better than this? who is he getting f***** by? I don’t get it.

  12. Ghetto Fab September 2, 2010

    Yall stay shading Jason Derulo meanwhile he’s the one on tv and he’s the one you guys most likely begged for that interview a few months back.

    And the rest of you f*** need to quit it with the gay jokes. there is nothing wrong with him being gay if he is. He doesn’t need to come out to any of you. He’s an entertainer. He’s there to entertain. If he’s not entertaining you than STOP watching him dumb asses. He doesn’t owe any of you his status on whether he’s gay or not. Get a life and stop worrying about his. The majority of yall that post here are f*** anyway. Sam and Trent are the biggest queens here lol.

    There’s nothing wrong with Jason Derulo other than him needing to find his own identity. He’ll get there though. In the meantime he has 3 top ten billboard hits So Stay Pressed F** h***!

  13. Delois86 September 2, 2010

    @Ghetto Fab how are you gonna tell people to stop with the gay jokes but call them f*** lol

  14. ~TeAM WeeZY~ September 2, 2010

    ^^^EXACTLY! F*** AND queens.

  15. ADE September 2, 2010

    His jackets make me sick. This dude is just wack!

  16. Ghetto Fab September 2, 2010

    @ DELOIS86 & @~TEAM WEEZY~

    Easy because I can lmao. Don’t be mad because I clocked the tea & shade and still kept it real.

  17. WHATEVER September 2, 2010

    @GANGSTERA

    Gayson De-HellNo CANNOT DANCE!!! If you call that dancing, I feel sorry for your stupid ass. Without the constant autotune, he sounds HORRIBLE!!! Dude should’ve stuck to writing songs and left it at that. Same goes for Skeri Kilson.

  18. WHATEVER September 2, 2010

    @GHETTO FAB

    Gayson De-HellNo is trying to make a name for himself as some heteroesexual pop music idol heart throb. YUCK but anyways, it IS people’s business if he’s selling a false image to the public. Look what happened to George Michael. Gayson pluck his damn eyebrows,wears lip gloss & eyeshadow, worships Madonna yet constantly feels the need to tell us how much he likes **girls** LOOOOOOOL #FAIL

  19. Ghetto Fab September 2, 2010

    @WHATEVER

    That’s the problem. You queens are too caught up in the image and not the music. Who cares if he’s singing about a guy and a girl. The music is what counts. And you all can keep popping smack because you all don’t know anymore than I do if the man is gay or not. All this is speculation. My thing is why does it matter? IF that’s what he wants to sell than that’s what he wants to sell. He didn’t force your ass to buy it. If you don’t like it change the channel, radio station. Or don’t buy his records. But coming here and bashing him daily is getting you all nowhere as Derulo keeps getting booked for gigs and you queens remain pressed.

  20. OH DE-HELL NO!!!!! September 2, 2010

    you better work ( cover girl )
    work it girl ( give a twirl )
    do your thing on the runway

    work ( supermodel… )
    you better work it, girl ( …of the world )
    wet your lips and make love to the camera

    work, turn to the left
    work, now turn to the right
    work, sashay shante

    HOW YOU DOIN??

  21. Tiff September 2, 2010

    He’s waiting for his man to throw him on the table and give it to him straight!

  22. WHATEVER September 2, 2010

    @GHETTO FAB

    First of all, I am a HETEROsexual female, so #FUCKINGFAIL

    Second of all, you keep defending Gayson De-HellNo’s right to be gay or straight and not have people judge him for this fact while you use derogatory gay slurs like “queens” and “f***” What the f*** sort of sense does that make??? You must have been dropped on your head as a child. Get an IQ

    I’m sure gay people wouldn’t appreciate you defending them while insulting them at the same time. You DUMB ASS

  23. JASON DERULO IS GROSS September 2, 2010

    He has what Perez Hilton calls the “Gay Face”

  24. Oceanmate September 2, 2010

    Oh NOooooooooo

    We’ve already got so called talent out there using “Total Gimecks” to cover lack of true talent. Dude can’t dance while singing period! You’ve got to have “Stage Presence” if you are going to be out there!

  25. likeCAESAR September 2, 2010

    Why do people say “stay out of his life” or “thats his personal life” when its negative but love the press about socalled personal matters when it positive? He is obviously a flaming homosexual. From the clothes to the make up to the arched eyebrows. I mean he’s the black Adam Lambert. Anybody denying that is ridiculous. Furthermore…none of the current wave of MJ impersonators are really that good IE: Neyo, Jason, Chris, Omarion, et cetera. I wanna see JT do a tribute…I think he’s better than all the aforementioned entertainers.

  26. Lawayne September 2, 2010

    i thought it ws coo…damn people never have anything positive to say.,…smh

  27. JASON DERULO IS GROSS September 2, 2010

    @LIKECAESAR

    JT is better than than CB, Usher, Neyo LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    You must be a racist or downright CRAZY!!! JT is WHACK. He blatantly ripped off MJ and acted all mad when people called him on it. The s*** was embarrassing & STILL is!!!

    Case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmcZi2EPQp8&feature=related

    Besides, when’s the last time JT actually released an album. Now he’s more interested in winning EMMYs & doing dumb ass skits on SNL.

    CB & Usher ALWAYS gave MJ his props. JT did it when it was convenient. Let’s not forget how he played Janet Jackson too.

  28. ciara sexiest woman alive September 2, 2010

    untalented fool

  29. ~TeAM WeeZY~ September 2, 2010

    @Ghetto Fab

    You clocked the tea and shade by keeping it real? Um, no what you did was make the most contradictory comment on here. How can you tell someone to “quit it with the gay jokes’ but you’re referring to people as f***, queens, and f** h***? Yes, it’s ‘easy’ because you can but shouldn’t it also be ‘easy’ for the people you criticized for referring to Jason as those names as well? So just like YOU can, they can too, no?

  30. Ankka September 2, 2010

    “Michael Jackson impersonator” MENTALLY RETARDED TRENT-ISHA is obviously talking and thinking about FLOP BROWN!!

  31. ITSDAMIANBITCH September 2, 2010

    HE WAS A BORE TO ME *NEXT*

  32. Stick September 2, 2010

    Is it me or do he look like one of the crow’s from ” The Wiz”

  33. d September 2, 2010

    he should lipsync like chris brown, he can dance but he’s doing too much. and he dressing in the vain of MJ in a hip hop sort of way CB and Usher at least dressed differently. He is being too pop. But i find it funny how SAM interview folks then bashes them more. he show show some respect being that thatgrapejuice dont get that many stars like big sites. SAM you seem two faced

  34. HATIN IS FOR SUCKAS September 2, 2010

    This performance was so whack the jugdes should have push that red button to make that x come up that was a complete #FAIL they need to stop have these talentless artist on these talent show.

  35. Brandy 4ever September 2, 2010

    lol and this guy is going on a tour???? he needs a few more vocal lessons b4 that… wouldnt waste money on a show that only involves fantastic light shows and fancy costumes…

  36. Lady September 2, 2010

    @OH DE-HELL NO!!!!!
    LMFAO!

    And Chris doesn’t always lip-sync. The thing about Chris is he is an excellent dancer and an okay singer so her has enought to go around. Atleast when chris lip-sync his dancing is on point which people like to see. I only really see him lip-sync during ICTY(the n**** being lazy knowing damn well he can say “I can Transform Ya” and dance at the same time lol. But Jason is another story. He might have it but he doesn’t show it. His singing/dancing is never really on point.

    And CB is INSPIRED by MJ not an Imatation. Its an insult to even bring Michael, Usher, or Chris’ name into this post! Also when Michael Jackson was on GMA a few years back he said both Justin Timberlake and Chris Brown were talented so I’ll takt THE KING OF POP’S WORD BEFORE YOURS! In the end anybody is better than DeHELLNO!

    And music topping the charts means nothing anymore. really it doesn’t. Am I happy when my favs do? Yep! But only if its a good song if the song is dog s*** in the sun I’m not too happy about it. Ke$ha and her auto-tune can top the charts(auto-tune was only cool with tpain….smh) and her music isnt that good its just catchy.

  37. Lady September 2, 2010

    And why would he perform on ‘America’s Got Talent’? Is he showing America he HAS NO TALENT and what NOT to do as a performer?

  38. Robier September 3, 2010

    Bwaahaaaa

  39. Kahari September 3, 2010

    At one point in time, when there was no Chris Brown in site because of his “incident” with Rihanna, and Usher was a distant memory of yesterday’s Confession, Jason DeRulo seemed to be the upcoming new Prince of Pop. Without a doubt the boy can dance. Sure it’s a little Michael Jackson-esque, but many of our male entertainers who dance site Michael for his smooth choreography. Although I don’t believe Jason has much of a voice, he does have a musical format that works out for him: a techno-pop dance track that contains enough Hip-Hop bass to appeal to all. This performance isn’t that bad, with the lasers and the pop-lock freeze movements, this expresses the direction of 21st century Pop-Soul and R&B: a more futuristic sound. At least you know what to expect.

  40. ur September 3, 2010

    LIKECAESAR –> Adam Lambert can sang…so not alike at all

  41. DA STARR KIDD September 3, 2010

    HONESTLY HE DOESN’T REALLY DO IT FOR ME, THATS JUST MY OPINION, BUT HONESTLY SOMEBODY IS LIKING HIME BECAUSE NUMBERS SPEAK AND FOR HIM TO HEADLINE A TOUR OBVIOUSLY MEANS HE HAS A HUGE FOLLOWING SO KEEP DOING YOU JASON AND LET THE HATERS MOTIVATE YOU TO DO BETTER!…ITS JUST HIS SEASON THERE WILL BE ANOTHER STAR COMING SOON JUST BE PATIENT AND STOP HATING KNOCKING THIS DUDE DOWN HE AINT THAT BAD! 🙂

  42. KD September 3, 2010

    Gayson Derulo performing “Riding D***-o”, oh why do you insist on torturing us Trent?

  43. KRS088 September 3, 2010

    This dude makes me laugh. He acts and look fake. Dude CANNOT SING OR DANCE but if you notice the crowd they probably don’t know what good singing and dancing is anyway. Did you notice the Judges they did not seem like they were bored. Gayboy needs to sit his no talent self down. I give him until next year and he will be history

  44. ************* September 3, 2010

    @LADY

    I agree with you but in all honesty Chris Brown does imitate MJ on MANY occasions. His “Gimme Dat” video>>>SMOOTH CRIMINAL, his little *BILLIE JEAN* dance at the ’07 VMAs, his “Wall to Wall” video at the beginning was reminiscent of THRILLER. His spins>> MJ perfected that & made it one of his trademark moves

    I know he’s always cited MJ as an influence but even he is guilty of blatantly imitating Michael *on certain occasions*

  45. lolaaa September 6, 2010

    hey he’s cute and his music is whats hot right now, umm and is Usher Jacking his style right now with the elcetro dance music , me thinks so lol
