even michael jackson had up and down with the charts. blame polydor for not releasing it worldwide. at least australia. there was one rock give a good heart and this was the strongest of the 3rd album. the song with a charm as you said. find it on youtube. it was big surprise. now jd is back with polydor.

@TheMsiaddict Better than RSVP doesn`t really take that much, but it lacks the creative charm of, lets say Bananarama`s Guilty - with the excellent line: "I`m guilty - of love in the first degree." The concert may have been packed - but the record didn`t sell that well. His first single - after topping the UK charts with Any Dream will Do the year before - Mission of love, peaked at 29 or 30 in the UK chart. Nick Kershaw written: All around the world, not top 10 either. Disaster for a teenidol.

The lyrics better than RSVP. He ignored his 3rd album because some sour disputes with polydor. 1992 all around the world concert was after the face libel. And it still packed.

@TheMsiaddict I like some PWL productions too - but not this one. Neither the vocals or the music is polished enough for release - even B-side. This sounds like a quick demo. The best part of it is the bits it has borrowed from other PWL productions, in fact. Don`t think he was a victim either - it was badly handled from start to finish. If he had ignored it, no one would take any notice. Instead he joined Elton John and Liberace`s club of successfully refuting gay rumours by court.

There is an extended mix of it for DJs from HOT TRACKS (USA) - a remix service.

how long can you chew bubblegum? i like some pwl productions too. like this one. jason should not be sulking. he was and still cheerful person. but nothing can beat the emotions of shout about. he was not acting on that video. he sobbed near the end of the song. the worst broken heart ever, because he was cast as villain by people when he was the victim of the face. poor jason was so stressed.

@TheMsiaddict Bubblegum is something you can chew on. Music is something you can listen to. A little joke. Just enjoy life and music. Bye, bye.

Oh one more, in early 90's old type of bubblegums didn't attract attentions anymore, because there are some new musics that's more catchy to the teens. SAW started to fall. People started to like rock music again. Queen charted well. Chesney Hawkes got the same.

And everytime bubblegum singer like to record more serious type of song, they always find some failures...Kylie is one of the example. And Kylie can't step away from dance until now. Rick Astley is another example, once he stepped out from bubblegums, his good music didn't sell well anymore. Jason's 3rd album didn't chart well either. Actually #27 was not that bad for a switch. Many bubblegum singers got worse than him.

This is not a bubblegum. Even if it's a bubblegum it's not a strong bubblegum. Anything about bubblegums didn't match his maturing voice anymore. That's why maybe he switched to adult dance like RSVP. Then he recorded some pop rock songs on 3rd album with Polydor. Maybe if Polydor licenced this song and all B sides, the selling could be better. For me it's better than RSVP from music and lyrics. It's manly, not sappy. And it would fit his 3rd album.
A superstrong melody of MEGA producers S.A.W. Such a shame Jason did not make a whole new album with S.A.W.
