He's already done like 4 US tours for Departure, but he's only done one short media tour through Europe last year with it and that's it. He said that that's what next year is going to be focused around, touring overseas with Departure. Plus he also said that he's wanting to film like 2 or 3 movies before starting the new album. And I can get it. I mean, singing and touring with the same material for 2 years gets old. And it can become a very hard and wearing cycle to release an album, do the radio tour, shoot the video, do the national tour with a couple more videos during when there's time, then possibly an overseas tour, then come back and go straight to the studio to make the next album and start it all over again. And acting give him the little break from the music so that he'll be able to be more inspired an put all of himself into it, like he always does and wants to do. And when you look at the big picture, exactly how many artists have the longevity to stay in the business or even want to when they are nonstop busy like that and releasing a new album every year. ('NSync anyone? Or even Britney. Yea she got married and pregnant, and that's what caused the 'break' but you think about it, she had to just be so worn out on it all by the time she finally got one.) At least this way Jesse never gets worn out with it all or even bored. He has a balance. And Hollywood Records is great for letting him do that and everything. Considering most record companies only care about the money the artist brings in, therefore if the artist takes a year or so off to go into acting or just as a break, they lose interest and/or try their hardest to prevent them from taking more than a couple months off at a time. At least Hollywood isn't doing that with Jesse. They let him have control of his career and what he wants to do with it and his life.
(Ok, just noticed how much I typed! WOW!! So sorry. Just got on a roll and it all just started rambling out of me. haha. I hope that it all makes sense though.

True, true. I had no idea he was going overseas either so I guess that helps me understand a bit better. As long as he doesn't keep pulling a Justin Timerlake a keeps reselling the same album with the old and new tracks (I was shocked to find out Justin is still only on his 2nd album...)
And honestly, to me, Hollywood Records is probably the worst label anybody could be on. I mean look at it like this: They had Jesse going for a while, they promoted him a lot back in the day. Then he was getting older and wanted to take his music a little more seriously and they do such a crap job promoting him now. That's why Departure sold so poorly (promotion, leaking of songs). They're starting to slowly do that now with the Jonas Brothers and they don't give the Plain White T's any promotion. If their artists don't fall in their audience's age range, they basically leave them on their own.
I never saw one commercial or advertisement for Departure but Miley Cyrus and all those Disney Divas are everywhere.
Don't worry, I totally do that all the time to people too. lol. Like right now, I just did.
Yea, but Justin does it because he does have so much more that he's interested in now. Not to mention his own record company that has like 4 or 5 artists on it so he's working with them a lot. And he has his restaurant, the clothing line, and now the tv show on MTV. So, he's moved on pass the music, for the most part, and has said that until he feels the need to make his own music again, he'll just go on helping make other people's.
Yea, I can see that. Though they did have a commercial that played for Recharged during Greek. But you also think about it. It's not just the record label, it's also publicists that deal and manage most of the promotion and everything. And you look at Miley, she still has the Disney channel and Hannah Montana as a constant 'ad' for her and her music. And the same goes for the other Disney stars that have shows on there too. Like Demi and Selena. That's honest the only reason I feel that they gave the Jonas Brothers a show on there, was for the constant access to have them in the spot light. But the show, from what I've heard anyway, hasn't been anywhere near as popular as they thought it would be.
Totally and completely agreed! The
Dingo Channel can't live up to the empire it was trying to form. If you watch
iCarly, you'd get the "Dingo" thing. But it's true. All they want is to rake in money. I blame everything Disney on Jesse's unsuccessful Sophomore Album
RWYWM. It's like, right when
Summerland ended, everything started falling apart. I'm happy that
Departure had given him a lot of success, but at the same time, they didn't advertise
Departure that much. I recall seeing that ad once last year (barely) and they only showed the
Departure:Recharged ad twice on the day
before the actual release; knowing that Jesse fans &
Greek fans tuned in, but they still don't do much. I've officially turned my back against Disney ever since I've noticed what was happening. The only things "Disney" that I hold onto are the ones that include Jesse [I can barely watch the whole episode of Hannah Montana w/ him in it though
The only part I watch is the rap]. I can't get over the fact that Jesse's character on
Tinker Bell looks ironically close to what he looked like when he was still in the
Dingo scene.
The shaggy blond hair, the baby face. Also, the lines he said at the part in the movie when he's w/ Tink, giving her Pixie Dust, also bother me. Not that I hate them, but it just scares me a bit. I mean, people
did forget about him, called him a "gay-a** Teeny-Bopper" trying to be Justin Timberlake, and didn't care. They don't realize he's a person with feelings too. And it hurts
.
Terrence: You know my name?
Tinker Bell: Well...sure. Why wouldn't I?
Terrence: Well...I don't know. I'm just the "Dust-Keeper Guy". I'm not exactly seen as "the most important fairy" at Pixie Hollow.
Tinker Bell: Terrence, what are talking about? You're probably the most important one there is. Without you, no one would have any magic. Why, your talent makes you who you are. You should be proud of it. I mean--
Terrence: I am.
I guess it's just me. He didn't let it bother him. Like he said in his
Up Close DVD, "You can't let it get to you, 'cause if you let it get to you, you're just gonna be upset all the time." But anyway, I'm pretty patient, sometimes
I really want him to do more acting. The singing side of his career is getting pretty repetitive. I'd probably want to do something else after all that touring and stuff. It would give him some more time to write more songs during his free time in between takes and stuff.
