You're welcome . Actually, although his AGT performances have been good, I don't think he's quite comfortable in front of a huge TV audience just yet. His performances at this venue (where he did Unchained Melody) - he's a different person. Love this one too (Chain of Fools), he really exudes the soul on this one:

Good gawd he's got a fine voice! Incredibly soulful. Performed one of my all-time favorite songs for his final performance tonight.........When A Man Loves A Woman. Major goosebumps!

No way - that was actually my guess, even though I haven't seen any YT's of him doing that song! (Hasn't aired here yet, so I haven't seen it). Really looking forward to it now.
I'm betting America will pick the little girl for the win though (and she is amazing also).

Totally dig his voice and delivery. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA3wbaNfkNs
Yes she was amazing, but Ozzy is $100 richer now!

BTW, his fucking sob story about not wanting to lose his grandparent's house helped( while touching, has nothing to do with his talent), I'm sure....just like Fantasia prancing around stage, playing up the single-mother role with her daughter, helped her win Idol....young girls voted for a good looking guy. Just liked african americans voted for a black man for president. It is a TALENT show. Not a Beauty Pageant.

Speaking of dodos . . . do some research before you start flapping your gums. First of all, he already has 4 albums out (and who the hell is Bolotin?) Second, if you know how that show operates - the producers play up EVERYONE's stories. They leave out important details, make it seem like they're all just a bunch of hard luck cases who no-one has ever seen before. I'm sure it's not the contestants' choice to go on and on about their lives like that. A lot of the acts have already played Vegas and other gigs - one example - that black woman with the big booming voice - NOT just a 'subway' singer. And you're right, it's not a beauty pageant - otherwise Jackie would have won

Thanks for making my argument for me! Aprreciate it! FOUR albums out, and I never heard of him.....NEXT!
Lastly, you must be one of those people who clung to his looks...because a 10 year old with a voice like that is ONE in a BILLION...whereas a 30 year old with a mediocre voice like that is a dime a dozen....lemming!

Which is sad because you are on a Melodic rock site!! Isn't there a site for mediocre disposable pop-rock acts out there?

Anytime! Knew you'd love the motown/soul feel of it. Not sure if it is a Sam Cooke cover, I don't recall? This is an extra on the end of the Eyes album, good stuff!
Deb wrote:Nobody Said It Was Easy is on that album too, another fave!

not sure about being a Sam Cooke. If you look at the comments on youtube, you get this...
It's not a Sam Cooke cover, it's a JSS original he dedicated to Cooke...it was a 'ghost' track on the Eyes debut album as in, it wasnt listed on the song sequence, just appeared as a final track with no info about it on the album due to publishing reasons on how many songs a band was allowed to release and get paid on a single LP. This info was from an old JSS interview...
My general thoughts are that it was written to SOUND like a Sam Cooke song....or maybe Sam Cooke backed by Queen It does sound very good either way.Deb wrote:Nobody Said It Was Easy is on that album too, another fave!
have you heard this?

earlier demo of said song with James Christian (later of House of Lords fame and a good vocalist also) singing--this being before JSS joined the band.
James Christian in House of Lords from about the time the Eyes cd was released
