Jason Derulo Debuts new single Undefeated on the American Idol stage
We were more than happy to see that Jason Derulo has lose his neck brace at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards, but delighted to hear him on the stage for the first time in months! The "What'cha Say" singer performed at the American Idol on Tuesday night, May 22 just shortly after Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips were done with their first performance in the final showdown. Jason debuted a new single "Undefeated".
Doning a casual outfit, he took the stage all alone singing while standing on his feet on a chair. Later he is joined by a numerous group of dancers, while camera switched to the crowd to show his girlfriend Jordin Sparks singing his verses.
The 22-year-old singer took it to Twitter to express his excitement over the performance: "1st time performing since my neck injury 2night on idol finale! THANK YOU to the fans that help me write this song #UNDEFEATED." He added, "It's been 2 wks since I took my neck brace off! Still gonna make it happen tonight! NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER LET UP! #UNDEFEATED."
"Undefeated" was actually part of Coca-Cola's Perfect Harmony program. It was completed with the help of "Idol" fans who voted online for their favorite lyrics. In an interview with Ryan Seacrest on the "Idol" host's radio show, he said, "The fans got to help me write the song. I started writing the song, but I left a bunch of lines blank and the fans have been helping me fill in the lines." "There were lots of great, great lines. It made the process a little difficult," the boyfriend of Jordin Sparks continued to dish on the song's crafting process. "Thankfully, I had a lot of help to whittle it down to a number that I could actually look at. There were tons and tons of great stuff, but we got it down and I believe we came up with the best product!"
