Remember Jason Greely?

Nobody has heard two words about this guy ever since Rex became Newfoundland's new favorite Canadian Idol. He had his time in the spotlight, and people got sick of him. Personally, I got sick of him after hearing him about three times on the show. So repetitive, so predictable. But he came back, and was a local hero for a while. Then he vanished.

Until tonight.

Jason popped up tonight on the CBC news. He claims that he didn't enjoy being the center of attention and hated not being able to walk out into public without anyone noticing him. He claimed to be so relieved to have the spotlight off him and just be an ordinary Joe again. Did I buy any of that crap he was saying? Not a word. If he was content with settling back into an ordinary life, then why is he back on the news reminding people that he exsists? I've only seen the guy once, at the Klondyke festival last summer, but he sounded so full of himself.

He was the opening act, and said to the crowd that he was "sure that everyone has been requesting [his] song on the radio stations." This attention craver has been at it for a while apparently. Even before his Idol apparence, according to people who knew him before, he was still big headed and always looking for people to love him.

No dice.

Just thought that I'd post a few corrections there to what you posted. I was at that Klondyke Concert and there was no opening act. They all had their individual performances. Secondly Jason said that he wanted to thank everyone for making his CD the No. 1 CD in St. John's for seven weeks that summer, and I also remember Mark Roberts on OZ saying that if he had a dollar for every time that his song was requested that he'd be a rich man. Third I've met Jason on numerous occasions and he is far from full of himself and wasn't like that before he went on Idol either as I know people who knew him then as well.
