----He claims there was already a contract set in place for the other actor the voice the character but they did want him to do the voice. I think he's being politically correct. Cant say what he wanna say. We know what's up Jason. Lol

---Talks about how Elton John recruited him from the jackson movie. Heard him singing live and was impressed. Got him an audition and got the part.

---claims disney had just offered the deal to johnathan days prior but they decided to keep jason as the singer.
