I have been pulling for Jason since very early. And really thought he might win, until now. I am sorely afraid that things are turning against him.

But I, through this site, found Jason's site and have listened to him singing and watched a couple of the videos. And I think that he could very easily become well known in Christian entertainment, if not even secular.

I know that if he were to cut a CD I would go buy it. So maybe even if he doesn't win (and I still hope he does) he will gain from this.

I am so proud of his behavior thus far.

Jamisinc-Agreed. Jason is certainly a "winner" even if he doesn't win BB.

I love Jason for all his sweetness...but i dont see Star Quality. He seems to suppress emotion. Even with a good singing voice, which i agree he has a great voice, you still have to "sell" a song with youre passion. Im thinking he might just be shy, and if its insurmountable maybe he could go into radio. i'd like to see him actually go on that long road trip, and mature a little. not in actions, but broaden his horizon get used to the idea of human touch.

He is definitely suppressing emotion in the house. He said so.

He seems more like a game show host type right now.

But with a bit of maturity and assertiveness, and a bit of distance from his parents, who knows what he could become.

I'd like to see him on "Road Rules". That might show us a different Jason. Frankly,I think he's a winner!!!! Just 'got' to love that boy.

Star quality?

I don't think so.

It takes more than a good voice. It takes having a "presense" that transcends your own personality. If anything, up until the pst two weeks, Jason has been little more than a fly buzzing worund the house. No presense at all.

I suppose it is possible that he could make a CD of religious music and make some sort of go of it. But I do not see Christian entertainers are stars. Perhaps the can become "stars" in a very small world.

There are more people seeing Jason now than will ever see him if he goes out on the Christian music circuit. So far he has not set himself apart as one of the most memorable HG's of BB3, but rather one of the "B" personalities in the house. So, I can't assume he be anything else in another entertainment field.

Yes, Jason has a multi-millon dollar career awaiting him.

The Christian circuit is huge. They have three major cable tv channels (Trinity, CBN, and DayStar) as well as syndicated shows on channels all over the country. Multiple Christian radio stations are in every major market. The Christian music market has the added, very complex, support network of local church youth groups, camps, concerts, and regular church service performances. Christian concerts are sold out everywhere, because, unlike other musicians, they have so many groups not connected to them directly, in effect, working for them. This is a hot category, because, for so long, Christian groups branded pop music, and rock in particular, as evil, but the new "Christian" rock and pop are suddenly acceptable. A well-known performer (and Jason will now be one of the best known, booked on every Christian talk show), can book solidly all year long, promoting his cd's.

He has done a good job of maintaining that virginal image, which the followers of that market would find acceptable and even praiseworthy.

This guy is set for life.

What--
Sorry, but you're wrong. Your statements about the Christian entertainment industry just prove to me that you know very little about it. I have had contact with people in the industry and have attended tons of concerts, festivals, etc. and I have to tell you it is anything but small. Perhaps you only consider it a "very small world" because the whole thing is not a part of your personal world. And you might just be surprised at how many Christian musicians you know by name because they've made a mark in the secular world as well. Maybe even people you never knew were Christian.

And your so-called "presence" is by no means a prerequisite for stardom. Many big-time actors have very little presence when they're plopped down on a talk show couch. I bet if you stuck someone like Harrison Ford in the Big Brother house he'd be a real bore. There are tons of stars who can act or sing their bums off but seem to have a real lack of personality off-screen or off-stage. So until you see Jason actually act or sing for an audience, I suggest you realize that you don't have all the information to make that kind of a judgement.

Besides, there seem to be plenty of people who have been taken enough with him in that house that he must have some kind of "presence" you just aren't catching. Your loss.

Somebody can feel very comfortable to do something in front of people, but very uncomfortable and shy , or very reserved to do something other. I did hear some interviews with very well-known artists, who perform on t.v. or in front of audience, who said they are pretty quiet and even shy in their private life.

I remember when I took lesson of painting, there were men and women who were nude in front of the group as models. I spoke with them during the coffee break, and I remember one of the models who were very shy to speak with the group. She was professionnal model since many years and was very confortable to do, but she told me she always have been shy to speak with many persons together. All that to say than a person can be not shy at all for something, but very shy for something else. I agree we could be surprise to see how many famous stars are maybe very reserved and quiet in their private life.

I know the reference of compare nude modeling to famous actors or singers are not the same, but I wanted to give an example. Another example: here in province of Québec, Canada, a singer, Isabelle Boulay is very well known, she sell many many albums in Québec and France, she gives concert and have good succes as a singer here, and she definitly have a very reserved personnality when we see her on t.v. and concerts. She's quiet and calm, she has nothing to do with Celine Dion or Madonna, and she has a lot of fans (including myself). It depends of the taste of the fans.

All stars are not always very outspoking or extravagant. I like some extravagant artists, but I can appreciate calm and more reserved personnality too. So, Jason may have some fans (if it works for him, of course) even if he's not explosive nature. Many people like it, it's a question of taste.

Somewhat OT, sorry (been doing it all day) but isn't it easier for folks who stutter/stammer to SING? I remember the story of a country singer (Mel Tillis, I believe?) who stuttered while speaking but could sing without any problem.

I think Jason's 'shyness' may be in part to self-consciousness (HE knows they're on camera 24/7, unlike the other hgs who forget at times) and his insecurity about the speech problem. But his voice is quite good, plus I agree with other posters who've pointed out that the Christian music industry has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years. If he wanted to pursue that, I'd bet there'd by an audience for him especially with some notoriety from BB3.

Way to go gang!!! The only thing that might have been missed, is he is PLAYING the GAME and is as some of us know,very savvy about BB and the internet.Keeping a low profile is just good common sense. IMO he has played an excellant game and kept his feelings under control better than anyone in BB3 and will reap more from being on BB than any of the other HG. Love that boy!

I think Jason can make it on the Christian music circuit. It might not be the largest musical genre but certainly a loyal one! Has he had charisma in the house? Not really. But he has played to that audience that might support him OUTSIDE the house. Smart move!
