Jason Derulo Performs On America’s Got Talent

Published: Thursday 4th Aug 2011 by Sam

Pop force Jason Derulo took centre-stage on the quarter finals of America’s Got Talent last night. There, the singer performed new single ‘It Girl’ and chart-topper ‘Don’t Wanna Go Home’.

Peep Forever 21 in action below. It actually sounds quite good. Find out why after the jump…

Clearly lip-synced, there’s no co-incidence that this serves as one of Mr Derulo better showings. For, if adamant on delivering a full-on routine, I’m all for him dusting down that backing track and getting down. Still all a bit ‘much’, yet credit where it’s due – he’s stepping up.

Your thoughts?

    loool

  2. lol August 4, 2011

    you see why i like this kid , his album doesnt even come out till late next month and his is already in promo swing most cats wait the very week of LP release to promote now about this performance

    it was back tracked not lip synced i could her him breathing at some parts , shouting out adlibs, and “hey” that dont exist in the recording . Even skiping over some of the words during the dancing but overall he sounded GREAT,PRECISE & CLEAR! and he danced up a storm . Thanks for the post Sam

    He did pretty good…he was actually pretty convincing with singing live.

  4. nice_gurl August 4, 2011

    Actually I think he was singing live. You could hear breathing and it wasn’t perfect. He just had a backing track. I need more performances like this.

    Chris Brown must be mad at Jason DeRulo.
    Jason is Chris Brown’s replacement. Young man in early 20s who dances, sings, and makes catchy but meaningless R&B/poppy music.

  6. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 4, 2011

    No, he didn’t step it up, he just wore a sleeveless shirt and turned you on, so you gave him a decent review.JUST KIDDING!.The end was good, but everything else was a bit boring imo.And why did the camera have to zoom so much in the end???His face is not his money maker and I hope he knows it.

  7. JohnVidal August 4, 2011

    I don´t care about dancers but he did good right? I mean he is not too different from other dancers out there

  8. KD August 4, 2011

    He is a very good performer but having said that he just lacks that extra something…I found that he just disappeared into his background dancers is not a good thing and there was nothing pulling my eyes towards him…I don’t know.

    Side-note: His label is on point…he is just under 2 months away from his album release and he already has a second single coming out (as well as the vid) and he is performing on a popular show…too bad he probably won’t shift much when the album does drop.

    THAT GUY IS TOO PHOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE

    Umm yeah, most of this performance is lip-synced.

  14. Carl August 4, 2011

    He is a good dancer that is about it he is terrible live and should take singing lessons

  15. rihanna is the best! You will deal August 4, 2011

    haters, shut up! You wish you were on his level. This man is actually pretty talented and works pretty hard and is dedicated. And for ppl saying he can’t sing I suggest you watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ7GsaEDB5g

    Good job, JD!!!

    And you too, Sam. I see you trying to stop dissing Jason, I can feel your pain. Keep it up.

    I don’t think Jason Derulo can replace Chris Brown but I can see a lot of gigs for a young-nice-and-clean-black-guy-who-can-bust-a-move handled to him instead of Chris.

    As long as he keeps himself focused on his game – and loosing those clothes from time to time (shom me ’em big thighs, Jason!) , a lot of great things are coming from him.

    true tea, he took that term to a new height, 21 my foot! am 21 this dude would look like metuselah next to me

    @Daddy

    Papi Chris Brown began at the age of 16 and he’s legitimately 22, better looking, makes better music and sells more that this weak replacement of his

    His face is not his money maker and I hope he knows it.

    u aint never lied! As much as i loathe to admit, he does give off a sexual vibe but his face just brings u back to earth

    one of my followers on twitter is sickeningly obsessed with him, got me so curious about this damn performance. His dancing still irks me, when i see Chris or Usher bust a move, i feel like doing it with them. With him i’m almost embarassed to watch

  18. SAM IS PRESSED(ISTANN4GAGA) August 4, 2011

    Really Sam??? you advertising stores now lol?????

  19. absolved August 4, 2011

    He has a really large and imposing face.

  20. zania August 4, 2011

    Nothing against Jason, his performance was ok, but lets be real, he could never replace Chris. After this performance how many people is talking about this and raving how good he is? He doesn’t have the superstar look and swag on the stage, Like Chris does. He is now copying Chris dance moves, Usher and Michael Jackson. Chris has people memorize when he perform, with his skills on the stage, and also is fine as hell.

  21. Sam has a small ego (queenbey) August 4, 2011

    Im sorry but I do not like this guy at all!!!

    He is too damn cocky for no damn reason!!!

    I bet in his head, he thought he was goin to replace Chris….

    And I bet he shitted a ton of bricks wen he saw Chris Brown video on MTV again…

  22. lol August 4, 2011

    ugh Zania i swear you are like a toddler who when candy is waved in front of its eyes, gets into a car with stranger and gets taken for a ride again…and a again. Just cause some jackass mentioned Jason Derulo replacing chris brown (obviously tryn to stir up s***) does not mean you have to respond/take the bait.

    thanks i havent seen that clip of jason in along time he is so talented , try to ignore the haters i think they might a little jealous or alot LOL

  25. ZANIA August 4, 2011

    @LOL actually I was being nice with my Jason comment. I never liked him, especially when he laughed at Chris when he was down in his life. So I don’t respect him. You laugh at someone if you can back it up with better talent and he lacks the star appeal.

  26. kody3x August 4, 2011

    yeah jason derulo was chris brown replacement in 2009 FOR WHITE PEOPLE and trey songz was chris brown replacement for black but nobody talks about them here in 2011 because its chris brown year this month at the vmas chris brown going to show these lames a thing or two about real talent and performances

  27. kody3x August 4, 2011

    @zania this lame laughed at chris brown when

    @Nice_Gurl

    It’s called a pre-recorded track lol. You record it live and they sync it over a backing track. Breathing can sometimes be heard on the official track too.

  29. ZANIA August 4, 2011

    @KODY3X Yes it was lame, but he came off as jealous, most of the artist who spoke against Chris and express how upset they were of what happen, gave a serious comment because it was serious situation, but when Jason was interviewed by Grape Juice about Chris downfall, he burst out laughing.

  30. kody3x August 4, 2011

    i didnt know that f*** jason delhellno bitchass

  31. jamir21: I STAN 4 THE BEEHIVE&THE NAVY !!!! August 4, 2011

    He looks a gorillah !!!

  32. lol August 4, 2011

    @ZANIA & @kody3x

    i saw that tgj interview with Jason Derulo and when he laughed it was a nervous laugh not a contempt ,arrogant,or “suck to be you right now” type of laugh

    and would you actually believe JASON DERULO ATTENDED CHRIS BROWN 21 BIRTHDAY BASH !! Now i dont know about ya’ll BUT if i feel some type of way about a person that i do not like .i dont come to their family and friend gatherings ,weddings,bar mitzfahs , or BIRTHDAYS and smile in they damn face. im sure Jason practices the same.

    oh here are the receipts http://theybf.com/2010/05/06/chris-brown-parties-it-up-for-his-21st-birthday

    now ya’ll two being chris brown fans should remember his 21 birthday last year being around the time chris brown name was being dragged throught the mud by the media after his incident with the you-know -who . this was the time when half of Chris Brown FAKE ! industry freinds had abandoned him for the sake of their image/careers but WHO to show up in support none other than newbie JASON DERULO! remember that!

  33. kody3x August 4, 2011

    @lol i didnt know that anyways i have no problem with jason derulo but i will say that chris brown has way more talent than derulo not just saying that but ive seen chris brown do some things just amazing nobody in the industry can perform like cb my view

  34. ZANIA August 4, 2011

    I remember that, Jason didn’t show up to support Chris, Jason was in town and went to the club that night. You didn’t see no pictures of Chris and Jason together. Nervous laugh real right, he flat out burst in laughter. He is jealous and studying all of Chris and Usher moves, you can tell by his last video. You never heard Chris or Jason mention each other. So what ever, I don’t like him, he is arrogant.

  35. ZANIA August 4, 2011

    When Chris first came out, he stated that Michael Jackson and Usher is the two he idolized. Jason copies so much from Chris, that his ego won’t let him admit that he likes him as an artist. All the younger new artist mention Chris, like Jacob Latimore, Mindless Behavior, Jawan Harris, all stated that they are inspired by Chris Brown.

  36. kody3x August 4, 2011

    @lol sometimes i wonder if your really

  37. kody3x August 4, 2011

    what good : ) now tell me what did you think of JD’s performance ? be honest LOL!

  42. nikki August 4, 2011

    He’s a rip-off of Usher….

  43. TR August 4, 2011

    Like Flies on shit_____Smh!! Anyways, Jason is actually one of the more TALENTED people in his genre, legitimately so, but he also most times seems to be stuck in the gimmicky, sugary pop sound!!

  44. Coffee table August 4, 2011

    He is cocky but becoming more s*** performances after performances,,,I would let him do what he wants of me !!!!!!!!!!

    Now yes he can promote his album all he wants ; that album will NEVER sell a lot.
    He is no Susan Boyle or Mary J. Blige ,no one realy cares for his albums.

  45. ZANIA August 4, 2011

    @COFEE TABLE LOL at your comment, he isn’t attractive at all, but I guest I guy who where more make up than me is your type, oh well.

  46. EB August 5, 2011

    Michael Jackson dance moves, trying to sing like Chris Brown = FAIL. He needs to take a seat and that performance was whack.
