Over The Rainbow and Crazy ca.youtube.com/watch?v=-829-uNIO7k
Lots of static videos from Dallas plus Jason and Archie have been very sick with a horrid cold. So, as a result, Jason has the same nasal sound to his voice that I heard when David A. performed.
But, you know what? He does not sound worse for wear. His voice is quieter, yes, but still quite resonant given his health situation.
Still fragmenting those phrase at times, but, in all honesty, it must be really difficult to breathe adequately.
And, wow, his head vocie was spectacular wasn’t it? The audience cheered him on. Yea, so do I Jason!
And his mood and demeanor is as genuine and as enthusiastic as ever. Great, great work Jason!
Following this, he jokes with the crowd and moves into his second number, “Crazy”.
And, oh. my. goodness. His upper notes in the refrain are spectacular - really focused and centered. And with a cold? Unbelievable. Someone’s been practicing.
The “aye” diphthong is certainly more pure and refined. This is wonderful progress I feel. Ooops, I hear a bit of rasp in his voice but it certainly does not faze him as he continues on his merry way to complete a very outstanding performance of this song.
The video stops at around the 1:00 minute mark - but it was enough to know that this was a great showcase. Super Jason!

Oh my, he tells the crowd that he was introduced to the song via American Idol. He had never heard of this song before. Isn’t this something? To me, it is such a suitable song for his vocal style and persona - fits him perfectly.
And look at his animated features - so open and expressive when he performs this song. And that smile is killer, isn’t it? So genuine and so sweet.
His voice sounds magnificent once again and it appears that this cold is not hindering his triple showcase at all. Love the slight hint of a vibrato as he held his final note before the musical interlude - gorgeous. To me, he is looking and sounding more and more like a star with each stop of the tour. His confidence and poise has increased immensely over the last couple of months.
And there’s that infectious smile and wave again as a fan yells out his name. He is so elated to be back in his home state. Does my heart good!
Absolutely stellar performance! I added this song to my “Favorites” You Tube Page. But I need more. A -hunting I go!
