Whatever Happened To Jesse McCartney?

[@lewilbur]

That is SUCH a good point! If he had his own disney show he would have made it. 100% agree!

It's really interesting how paths can cross. Never in a million years would I have guessed Jesse wrote Bleeding Love. I wish we could hear his acapella version. I'd probably cry lol

[@crystalsnow1138]

If you search on youtube it's there. There is also a live version he did while on tour that is on spotify. I thought his version was good but Leona Lewis definitely took the song to another level.

[@spicytomango]

@@crystalsnow1138 I went looking for it after I read this and his version is pretty good. Although it's hard to listen to it without hearing Leona Lewis. Some good mixing and mastering would have done it justice

It's included in his THIRD album, "Departure", as a bonus track and, also, in its REPACKAGED version, "Departure: Recharged".

I have so much respect for Jesse McCartney he always seems humble and relaxed and his song writing skills are actually really good when I read the lyrics instead of one listen to the music.

Because of DreamStreet I found out he was on the show “All My Children” which my sister and I watched only because he was on it for like a few months before he left the show. If I’m not mistaken, he is an Emmy nominated actor. My heart broke hearing that his former band mate Chris Trousdale died from COVID complications in 2020. He, Greg, Matt, and Frankie making the tribute video “It Happens Everytime” was everything.

[@crystalsnow1138]

I also watched Jesse when he was on All My Children and I listened to Dream Street too and went to a couple of their shows. Yes, Jesse was nominated twice for the daytime emmy awards. Did you ever watch Summerland? Did you see that Jesse, Matt, Greg, and Frankie went on a skiing trip and did an instagram live together? It was so good to see them together in person again talking about their Dream Street days. I only wish it would've happened sooner when Chris was still alive.

I remember back in the MySpace days when he announced he wrote and gave a song to a new, upcoming artist. I guess it was meant to be. She did a great job with that song, but Jesse never got as much credit as he was due for that song in the public eye. I also remember waiting eagerly for Have It All and that never ended up happening. Hate it when labels do that. He was very unlucky with how the label and Disney decided to handle his career. His independent stuff is quite good, albeit not as popular.

I also like his songs Leavin , Body Language , and Shake. I still think he could get career back on track & make some sort of resurgence if he wanted to like maybe use TikTok as leverage similar to how Jason Derulo did back in 2020 or he could collaborate w/ popular artists of this generation w/ a big following such as Miley Cyrus , Ariana Grande , or Justin Bieber for example & I think a Justin Bieber & Jesse Mccartney collab would be cool BUT anyways I feel like if he collaborated w/ some big modern day artists like that it would get his career back on track & give him some more hits in the billboard chart & it would be another way for him to get a resurgence/gain relevancy again. He obviously won't be a teen heart throb anymore since he's alot older & doesn't have Disney behind him BUT I think it would still be good for his career.

They are most known for their song MMMBop which was a number 1 hit in 1997 when the boys were only 11, 14, and 16 years old and they were nominated for 3 Grammys. If I'm not mistaken Zac Hanson is actually the youngest person to be nominated for songwriting. All 3 brothers are now married and have kids but they still make music and tour together after 31 years of being a group. They got screwed over by their record label and decided to go independent in 2003. I think the main reason people say Hanson paved the way for the Jonas Brothers is because they were also 3 brothers.
