We know it's lip-syncing and all, but Jay always manage to look so good it doesn't really matter. On the Hamburger Helper sponsored float, Jay Sean performed his hit single "Down."
Jay Sean -- the British import who crashed the Billboard charts thanks to Lil Wayne and Cash Money. Well, his first American solo album, All Or Nothing, is finally here and if you were expecting big things from the newbie, then you won't be so impressed. (Sorry, Jay! ::Fist Pound:: You're still a fellow Brownie and we're proud of you.) That aside, All Or Nothing has a few radio gems, some attempts at crooning, and the rest of the album is typical R&B.
Tracks like "Down" and "Do You Remember" are obvious hits -- we've heard them on nonstop radio play and danced to them every weekend. And with the hope of keeping his name alive on the charts, "Love Like This" and "Fire" sound pretty much same, but lack the heavy bass to be a real dance song. Funny how "Fiiire, Fiiire, Fiiire" sounds ridiculously like "Down, Down, Down." Sounds like Jay's still struggling to find his range and to fill a full-length album. "Ride It" a song Jay's well-known for overseas made the track list -- just through it in, why not?
Jay's beatboxing abilities and rapper qualities are mostly disregarded on this album. It seems the Cash Money and Universal team felt safer letting Jay be a lover and not a fighter. He's wooing his lady on "If I Ain't Got You" with the classic "Hush, Little Baby" lullaby paving the base for his hook. Jay is a true crooner and his sweet love songs "All Or Nothing," "Love Like This," and "Lights Off" are cute and fun, but in many cases, Jay sounds like the lost 6th Backstreet Boy. He sounds decent on his own, but you've got to wonder what five more cute guys dancing and harmonizing with him would sound like.
He begs for better days with his lady on "Stay" because he'd rather not be "Stuck In The Middle." Love is a tough and addicting game, Jay, but don't worry one day you'll find love. But until then Jay knows love is going to be full of "War" and "Cry"ing. As a new artist, Jay best tracks are those where he keeps us dancing. The love fest is nice, but All Or Nothing is an album you listen to alone on a rainy day.
Also, let is be known, Jay Sean, with a team, wrote every track on his album, yet publishes under his stage name and not his government. Why? Ain't no shame in Kamaljit Singh Jhooti! That is all.
Jay Sean sits down with teen.com TV and admits he'll do anything to be casted on Entourage... even if he has to play Lloyd's BF. No homo, right? Jay talks Cash Money, success and of course Weezy, Weezy, Weezy...
Jelly Shoes: NO. Heelies: DEF NO! Rude People: NEXT! Jay Sean talks Pet Peeves...seriously, there's no reason to smell.
OBESSESED! Jay Sean beatboxes his way onto the Ellen stage and perform his No. 1 Hit "Down." For reasons beyond my knowledge, this song still hasn't gotten old. PLAY ON!
Jay Sean's been burning up the charts with "Down," so it was only right that Cash Money presented him with the Billboard's Top 100 No. 1 Song Award! Jay, friends and tons of close family celebrated at Greenhouse in New York tonight. It was definitely a family reunion -- Dad, Mom and his Brother from another were all in the house cheering on their uber-popular kin! Even fellow British-Indian comrade and MTV VJ Tim Kash was supporting. Peep Jay's performances of "Ride It" and "Down."
WHAT? WHO? She proceeds to explain that during her weekly segment of AVS (Asian Variety Show -- hello, all Indian moms plan their cooking schedule around it), she heard about Jay Sean and Lil Wayne! "That Punjabi guy is very, very nice and cute!" I think Momma Shah has a crush... "That Wayne. He has too many tattoos, but he is a nice rapper. You can marry them." I'm sorry I think my hearing is off. What did she say?!?! I'm now "allowed" to hang out with only "nice" rappers: Jay Sean AND Lil Wayne. This is the best.news.ever.
Momma Shah is known for her monthly motherly warnings of men to stay away from. This month's offender: Rappers. (Man, is she gonna be mad when she finds out...) Her rapper rant goes something like this: "Beta, we are not interested in rappers. They're too dangerous and always getting women pregnant. And I don't like the bad language they use." It's only cute because she's older AND naive -- sometimes. So imagine my shock when she recently retracted her momma-knows-best warnings because she "likes that Wayne singer."
Gorgeous, Dancer, Singer -- TRIPLE THREAT! Jay Sean could be Bollywood's newest hero, but he's actually R&B's new hottie. Beyond the looks and move, Jay sings and makes the ladies swoon. Born Kamaljit Singh Jhooti (Holla, to the Punjabis!), the British artist, signed to the Cash Money imprint, has crashed onto the American scene with his hit single "Down" featuring Lil Wayne. Looking forward to hearing more from Jay Sean!
