i absolutely am crazy about jason walker. he has a voice like shea butter. so every time i get to listen to him i jump. he has a new single- "i can't get you off my mind" which is from his 2nd cd "flexible".
here is an excerpt from an interview with jason from about dance music:
RS: That is the only way to be. Tell me about you Showtime at the Apollo performance.
Jason Walker: This was one of the best nights of my life as well as one of the most frightening. I sang "Get Here" by Oleta Adams. When I walked onto the stage the crowd went berserk, booing and hissing. They shouted things like "go home white boy," "get off the stage," and "what is he doin' here? what can he do?" I never wanted to leave somewhere so badly in all of my life. Steve Harvey had to tell the audience to shut up and give me a chance. He put his arm around me and whispered in my ear, "I have been where you are right now, just relax and do your thing." None of this was aired on TV. I wish it had been but you just catch the tail end of the audience in an uproar. I walked over to the microphone and said to myself, "I will either have them after the first line or I will never sing again." Luckily it was an amazing performance. The crowd did a total 360 after the first line and I ended up winning. It was absolutely insane.
