Jamie Jackson releases song: “I’ve Decided That I’m Great”

 JAMIE Jackson made headlines last year after a video clip of him being slammed to the ground by a police officer just after the 2013 Sydney Mardi Gras parade went viral.

Recently, the charges against were dropped, and now Jackson is entering the music world with his first single  I’ve Decided That I’m Great to be released in the next few days.

The Star Observer was given an auto-tuned 30-second clip of the song by Jackson’s manager James Brechney, the founder of the DIY Rainbow movement.

Brechney described Jackson’s transition from court room to music world as: “I think Australians wanted to hear music singles from the likes of Clare Werbeloff and Corey Worthington but they never happened.

“When I chatted to Jamie about his future I was thrilled he was keen to have a go at making a musical positive out of his negative experience.”

The Star Observer also spoke with Jackson about becoming a recoding artist.

“I love music but I have never considered becoming a recording artist,” he said.

“To me it’s just an artwork for me to look back on this part of my life and to allow others who have gone through a similar life experience to relate to it.”

When asked of how he felt the public’s reaction to his single could be, he responded: “I think people will like it but I think more people will hate it but I just don’t care”.

Jackson will be joining the DIY Rainbow float at this year’s Mardi Gras parade, and at the time of publishing it was not yet confirmed how close he would be to the NSW Police float.

  1. Why doesnt he donate some of this $40,000 to gay youth suicide prevention, or the GLBTQI Anti Violence Project project?
    And, who the hell is this James Brechney (manager) character? Seems to me, they are both cheap and nasty oportunists, and milking this for all its worth, and only cheapens the plight other victims of police brutality or indeed any brutalty towards GLBTQI communty.

  2. Listened to the preview and right at the end a comment “Whoop, there it ain’t!” came up.
    Made reading the article and listening the track completely worthwhile.

  3. YAWN!

    This is not news. What part of the ‘so-called’ song title doesn’t alert everyone to this being an egocentric little sh*thead.

    Find someone interesting to write an article about, this guy doesn’t deserve the space given or the time I wasted reading.

    Comments were more interesting than the story.

  4. Typical of this age group to feel hard done by and then make a buck on the back of it. He probably has no concept of what Mardi Gras originally was and the hardship of the peeps whay back then.

  5. Shit music is not something to make after being a victim of such a negative experience as police brutality. People want to hear music from talented people, not someone who is in the limelight for the wrong reasons.

  6. Hahahaha this boy will do anything for attention now it seems ! It is not newsworthy let alone entertaining, Next subject please >_<

  7. I think I just threw up in my mouth, Listening to that makes me want to put on a police uniform and thrown him to the ground for being ridiculous !!!

  8. Also doesn’t sound that great tbh. People did NOT want to hear music from Corey Worthington or Clare Werbeloff. Maybe he should get into activism instead given what has happened to him.

  9. I’m sorry, but this has to be some kind of sick joke, right? Reasons like this are why real gay artists struggle to be taken seriously, and on top of that it’s a disgusting way of turning what was a serious issue into a typical soulless pop song. It’s not even a positive musical experience because in all objectivity, that 30 clip is nothing but awful.
    Jamie, I feel for you and the shit that you went though, but you need to move on. Do you really want to be known as the kid that got bashed by cops at Mardi Gras for the rest of your life?
