One has a tendency to tune out when an artist makes a cliche claim like he was provoked by Michael Jackson. Who isn’t? But with Jason Derulo, it’s kind of different. He moonwalks. Everywhere. He wears metallic jackets with shoulder pads. He even uses Jackson chords to bridge together songs. And boy, does he whip out a good cover of Billie Jean. The chameleon act was all a part of Derulo’s successful plan to spread the 9 songs he should his name over an one hour slot yesterday. He also rolled out a pitch-perfect rendition of Justin Timberlake’s Attractive Back cover-but was careful to remind his screeching audience the song was so 3 years back. Derulo, from the other perspective, is now. And though he is so glossy and new, he has only 1 album, so he knows how to get the most from it. Opening with the Flashdance-inspired Sky’s The Limit, the young American stretched out the rest by singing both an acoustic and a full-on strobe version of Ridin ‘ Solo, a rock and a pop version of In My Head, and an extended version of Whatcha Say. All these were accompanied by the smoothest dancing around and a back-up chorus of about a thousand howling fans. As well as his Michael Jackson act, Derulo is legendary for singing his name, which he probably did, to his audience’s pleasure, three times. Also he is famous for being a little bit of a hit with the women.
So he appeared on stage surrounded by 2 skimpily dressed back-up dancers with abs of steel who proceeded, across the songs, to try and pull off his shirt. He helped them out later on in the piece, by ripping his top right down the middle and flinging the sweat-drenched thing into the gang. Keep an eye out for that on Trade Me. Derulo is just twenty-one years old but he could be a smooth operator and an expert in audience interaction. The sole break in excitable shrieks was when all of the jaws in the house dropped at his routine with the fortunate woman from the spectators he brought on stage.
