His song on "I can't wait to be King" did sounded like something Michael as a kid would sing.

He had such an adorable talking voice too. JTT did too, but Jason's voice was so endearing it would've fit young Simba so well. Disney's loss.

They actually wanted Jason to do the role in its entirety but had already signed on Jonathan Taylor Thomas before his audition. Unfortunate, but not uncommon. They can’t always count on finding young children who can both act and sing well.

Wow. Hell of a story. I’ve always been astounded by his performance as young MJ! Especially in that scene where he performed “Who’s Loving You?” He absolutely killed it on that song! & the fact that it was filmed days before production wrapped & he recorded The Lion King right after because Elton John was there on set is really cool!
@nwezetx1Ай бұрын
It lines up pretty well, but kind of weird no one has ever mentioned he did this way before the movie even came out. It matters, because his voice changed by 1994 when the movie finally came out and he no longer could do those vocals again.
@joewhitehead3Ай бұрын
@@nwezetx1 He could still sing after his voice changed though
@nwezetx1Ай бұрын
@joewhitehead3 True, but the vocals he had in October 1992 when he recorded for Lion King were truly unique, right? When you listen to 1992 demo with Jason's raw vocals, you'll hear so clearly everything he put into the song.

HE JOKED THAT THE NEXT TIME I SAW HIM WOULD BE PLAYING A ROLE IN "ATL" AND THAT WOULD BE MUCH DIFFERENT FROM PLAYING MJ 😂😂😂 HE TOLD ME TO COME BACK TO ATL AS I WAS GETTING READY TO DEPLOY TO IRAQ.

@rosiecheeks.k Oh, so you're referring to him being featured as a singer in 1994? Sure, makes sense. As otherwise, yeah he recorded all of his bits in October 1992. Literary by 1994, his voice got deeper and he lost out on future singing opportunities with Simba, aside from royalties.

Please correct the volume? I'm on an HP and my volume is up as high as it will go, and I don't want, or know, how to add my laptop to my other TV. It's so low it's not worth it. Maybe if in the middle of the night, but I have to sleep. If I remember to come back and am bored I may try it then. But seriously, it's no traffic here, but it's still too low it not worth straining to hear you
