Jason Gould drops first single "Laws of Desire" off his new EP 'Sacred Days' - what do you think ?

He has a pleasant voice and he's cute. The video and song are silly.

Mama, can you hear me?

Couldn't he have just named the EP "Nepo Days"?

Why do all of his songs sound the same? He should take the time to study music and vocals.

[quote] He should take the time to study music and vocals.

From whom?

Why doesn't he sing classics, like jazz standards? Material matters. His own mother could tell him that.

Funny Gay

[quote]He said he was always musical, but never really came out as a musician in fear of being 'judged' in comparison to his mother's talents.

Huh?

He's 57. I wonder who he thinks his audience is.

His mother's fans, R9. They're very charitable of all things Babs or Babs-related.

He has a very warm and pleasant voice, but his stylistic choices mirror those of his mother; the only thing that changes is the type of instrumentation, but the tenuous melodies, lethargic singing style and boring, unoriginal production are exactly the same. You'd think that he'd be more adventurous and try something more challenging and original, given the fact that he's obviously talented.

And sorry, R1, but there is nothing cure about good old Jason. He has the same goat-like face as his mother, with an even worse nose.

I haven't been so underwhelmed since I heard JT's new single 48 hours ago.

Voice is fine, but the music is just so blah. That beat drop is as basic as it can be.

I find nothing remarkable or memorable about his singing. The track reminds me of Cher.

Chee!

I would think his mother's fans are past the age for dance tunes.

That's a dance tune, R16?

[quote] That's a dance tune, [R16]?

He and his company have termed it as such:

[quote] This weekend, the 57 year old dropped the new single he cowrote - [bold]described as a 'hybrid dance song'[/bold] - 'Laws of Desire' from his new EP 'Sacred Days', to be released March 22.

what is it hybrided with?

A soporific, tuneless ballad R19? It's one of the most boring things I have ever heard.

EVERYONE, R5.

According to his mother, he was a big Donna Summer fan in the 70s, which was one big reason she did the duet. You might think he'd listen to more of her 70s music and be influenced by her.

R9 Probably a mix of leftover Barry Manilow fans and Clay Aiken's fans.

Don't forget Roslyn Kind fans.

Was anyone asking for this?

He’s no Streisand.

he better have a big dick with that ugly nose.

Jason sounds like Cher.

Speed it up and increase the disco beat, and the song will be a hit in the dance clubs.

Jason has always had a good voice. He should have been singing for years. He let his talent go dormant. He could have gotten over the 'nepo' baby label because he's good. Liza Minnelli got over it; Jason could have as well.

Cut your hair, Jason.

He comes from a musical family. His mother, of course and his aunt, Roslyn Kind. He should have been cultivating and releasing his talent before just the past few years.

Jason WANTS to fail., because he can’t take the pressure. A tiny success if he can manage it is what he wants. Never could handle any of it, which is fine because he lives off Mothers money.

Every single note is rehearsed, nothing spontaneous.

Jason Gould doesn't have the work ethic through desire or necessity that most average people have. And there's nothing wrong with that if it's not hurting anyone. He doesn't have the work ethic because he doesn't have to. He's been blessed to have the financial security that others don't have.

Several people on this thread have said he he didn't use his talent especially since it's obvious he has a good voice. But if you've ever listened to an interview with his mother, Barbra has often said that she's lazy. Of course, she has a vast body of work, in which she said she gave it her all. But when she's not working, she admits that she's lazy and doesn't want to work. Barbra probably sees these same 'lazy' qualities in Jason. When Barbra was young, she had the drive and the need to work. Jason is of a different generation, and grew up with the luxuries and security Barbra didn't have. Jason has the benefit of saying, "I'm shy," "I couldn't measure up to my mother's talent," etc. The average person doesn't have the benefit of sitting back, working on occasion and then kicking back when it doesn't suit us.

Having said all that, he seems to have squandered his talent. Because he could. No wife, no husband, no kids, not much responsibility to do all that much. That's a great life, I'd say.

Jennifer Lopez is more entertaining than this.

OP. I am an Eldergay , I liked it . Any dancing will occur at home , with the blinds drawn and only my cat 😺 providing any feedback on my skills and coreography. I am almost Medicare eligible, I would not be welcome at a club especially a gay one .

He must be my age.

The music sucks and sounds like crappy ez listening from the 1990’s.

There are times when it sounds as though his voice is being auto-tuned. I'm not a fan of that.

It sounds like "on hold" music you'd hear while waiting on the phone after selecting "speak to a representative".

he sure did join ugly group when he said he is gay.. The rateo of civilized gays to common jackals would place the jackals on the endangered list

R37 At57, Jason qualifies as an 'eldergay', too.

Ugh R34, that song sounds like it was rejected by Barbra in 1984. Jason needs to find better co-writers for his music.

Jason was excited to show Barbra his new video for the song but she hoped to hell the visuals were metaphoric. What Jewish mother needs to see her gay son's laws of desire?

R44 Jason's next album will be produced by Barry Gibb. He will also do a duet with him.

Ugh. Now I have to write another chapter for the memoir paperback edition.

Jason's next album: "Not Guilty."

...or maybe, "Back to Bed."

Jason just announced he will not be doing the duet with Chita Rivera he had planned for his next album. He made a call to Rita Moreno to take her place.

is that supposed to be EDM? Downtempo? What?

He has a better voice than I would have expected.

He could've been the next Josh Groban with that voice, but yea...his song choices are lacking. I find him very likable. He's a vocal Trump hater so he can sit next to me anytime!

Trying to launch a musical career at age 57 isn’t a well thought out strategy.

FUN FACT

Chris O’Donnell had been cast in “The Prince of Tides”, but was fired and Jason was given the role.

R54, that was because Pat Conroy didn't think Chris was a good choice because he was too athletic while the character was not a natural athlete, which was an important point. According to Barbra on page 10,347, Pat saw a picture of Jason and Saud, he's the one, so to speak. I'm paraphrasing because the actual story goes on for 70 pages.

I'm mocking but really living the book.

Give me back my vocoder!
