Miami dance machine Jason Derulo releases the 5th installment of his Vlog sessions prepping fans for ‘Future History‘ – his soon to be released sophomore set on Warner Bros. Records (September 27). Per request, the session sees Derulo lend fans a stripped down version of his hit ‘Ridin’ Solo’. And by ‘solo’, he probably meant ‘with autotune on mute’.
How did Derulo do with a lack of backing track? You be the judge after the jump:
While the riffs and runs should just slow down, this was an otherwise fairly solid showing from Derulo (whom we think would probably sound so much better if he’d stop trying so hard and just sing). It seems as if word of his earlier, less aurally pleasing performances got back to him and now he is on a quest to prove he can sing. And, like most, in the process he ends up sounding bad in a whole new way.
Here’s hoping the singer finds the happy medium in vocals between murder and miming (aka overdone and not done at all).

OH MY GOD !!! His voice is just amazing here !!! Did yall hear that clear tone and crisp vocal in the beginning. My Fav got vocals . Anybody that says different take several seats.
Sam is so mad. He can never completely give credit where it’s dude. Jason can sing, & Even though @ times he really does RUN, that’s his thing. There was no issue w/ this acoustic at all. He SLAYED, point, blank, period :). “Future History” September 27th!
much better singer than Chris Brown…CBrown could never hit those high notes that clearly…
I see nothing but lies in these comments!!
wow he really is a good! other times he sounds so nasally and terribly!
Never mind his vocals got worse towards the end. He sounded good at the beginning but got progressively worse.
THE BEST DUDE EVER SOUNDED….
THE BEGININNING MADE ME SO MAD I WAS AGGRAVATED FROM 0-0:50…
HE STILL AINT A VOCALIST BUT HE GOT VOCAL TALENT
Chris Brown has a great voice. No need to bring him down to big Jason up.
This dude sounds like s*** !
its funny how people bring up chris brown name all the time by the way derulo cant sing
you guys especially Sam need to be more objective when evaluating Derulo’s vocals, as this performance demonstrates the man is a very accomplished singer .Get over you bias and give credit when credit is due.Derulo is legit.
That was hott, must admit dude can sing
Who gon stop me huh??? (queenbey)

Yeah, it’s REALLY funny how Chris name ALWAYS gets brought up when ever there is a post about Jason! Proof that the Breezy is ALWAYS on the haters mind!Even when the post is about Jason he gets outshined by Breezy! Jason just can’t get out of Breezy’s shaddow! Sad!
Haters Stay Mad!
Clearly your dumbass hasn’t paid attention when it comes to Chris because he CAN & HAS hit high notes with ease! LISTEN and LEARN B****!

Yes he can, and UNLIKE Jason, Chris actually have the Grammy nods to back it up.
Majority of the CB haters don’t even like Jason they just use him to dog CB! The fact of the matter is Chris has already been praised for his vocal abilities and awarded with numerous award, given the opportunity to perform at prestigious award ceremonies such as the Grammy’s and has numerous platinum plaques to his name.
No shade to Derulo though, he can keep doing his thing, in Breezy’s shaddow……

Chris Brown is good artist with good voice but Jason Derulo sounds better, He has a sweet, pure voice a way better than Chris Brown.
As a singer I really don’t wanna bust his bubble (expose his tricks and therfore not being able to carry the song ’till the very end) …he did ok but you need work vocally…then again we ALL knew that anyway…love your singles tho:)
b**** you aint beyonce
seriously i need you to stop sounding like a wannabe r kelly with laryngitis
Why would he siiiing like that?!?!? Loved it
LMFAO the haters are PISSED VA STAND UP had to post ten times !!! Jason got him mad ass HELL Icant lol! Evern when Jason does good the haters cant acknowledge it dont get mad that Jason aint afraid of his voica and can hit high notes and all your fav can muster up is this http://thatgrapejuice.net/2011/09/watch-chris-brown-treats-fans-acoustic-jam-session/
so dont get mad take that s*** up with jesus not jason
This is the best performance I’ve ever heard of this song and you know what? He sounds damn good. He needs to learn control and he needs to practice it.
That pic of him is hot!! He was great…I loved this performance. I wish he would not do as much dancing and focus a lot more on the singing.
