There is nothing new under the (Ja)son

  • October 5, 2010

We love Jason Derulo's 'The Sky's The Limit' for its obvious, Flashdance-fuelled ridicu­lous­ness but it's a bit of a weak single choice following the mighty run of 'Whatcha Say', 'In My Head', 'Ridin' Solo' and 'What If' aka The Greatest Run Of Four Singles In The History Of Artists Named Jason.

The video appeared yesterday.

[youtube]xXakSfa8xds[/youtube] As Xenomania News pointed out on Twitter early evening yesterday, the video bears more than a passing resemb­lance to Alex Gardner's 'I'm Not Mad' video . Bear in mind, however, that not many people saw the Alex Gardner video, and if a below average video treatment is worth using once, it's worth using until everyone in the world has an oppor­tun­ity to be under­whelmed by it.
