5 years later and I still don't see the appeal for Jason Derulo.

I didn't like this at first, but got on board after a couple of listens. Love the chorus.

5 years later and I still don't see the appeal for Jason Derulo. Mostly boils down to him having been extremely lucky in the pop songs he gets handed. I don't think he's particularly talented, but he has a great little pop music catalog.

Having two hits is being lucky, being here 5 years later is not. That's like saying Madonna or Rihanna are very lucky because they are surrounded by talented people, well, maybe that's because they are smart enough to surround themselves with talented people.
Jason is a songwriter, so he is the main responsible of his own success. It's true that his music is basically bubblegum pop that (at least me) don't expect to survive the test of time. But there's an undeniable fact, other people who started at the same time like Taio Cruz or Jay Sean, who had successful first eras are long time gone and Jason is still here

But there's an undeniable fact, other people who started at the same time like Taio Cruz or Jay Sean, who had successful first eras are long time gone and Jason is still here Just for the record, Madonna and Rihanna were somewhat lucky in those first few years considering how little involvement in the actual music making they had. The reason that's not the same thing as with Jason though is because with the two of them there was always a star "x" factor that was there from day 1, much like Britney. I don't think Jason has that factor though, as evidenced by the fact that he has already struggled to keep momentum early in his career as his sophomore album looked like his success might already be ending, despite a lot of catchy, earworm type songs on the album. He still has yet to make a household name of himself despite the string of hits, and I have doubts he ever really will whether he keeps getting the hits or not. So I say again he has been very fortunate. He might have an ear for catchy pop music, but that can only take him so far without that certain star quality.

But losing momentum with the second album is pretty normal. I remember Emotions being considered a disapointment for Mariah (yes, even with all that number one hits), the album sold less than epected.
Anyway, i only disagree with you in the luck, having luck so many times generally it's not luck at all, in the rest it's obvious that he relys on having hit after hit to continue in the spotlight, and there are other singers who make a name for themselves in a lot less time.
But as long as he ontinue to produce hits, he will be here

This song is an absolute smash. I've always loved his singles but this takes it to another level.

I think this could be Jason's best era if singles are picked right! Cheyenne is a bop and could be a good single!

This just lifted over 30+ spots back into the top ten on iTunes... anyone know why?
Edit; here's why --
And a lot of national press has reported it. Why couldn't his normal promo spots have this much of an effect?

^ well for instance this makes the country fans take notice of the song , an audience Jason doesn't cater to during his promo runs
