The guy's got a lot of power and great range he really nailed the ending. I'm hoping his new CD will be great. I haven't heard any sneak previews yet.

With James living with Tourettes and Aspergers all you can say is WOW what a talent. His wife and little boy are darling. This guy is serious music and I wish him a long career. Next to Lambert he has a powerful voice. I will buy.

I think James definitely has the talent. The guys in Iron Maiden are certainly impressed with him. But I'm afraid that the AI producers are going to just dump these formula songs on him and he'll loose his edge. I'd rather see him create his own band and write his own music. James needs to follow his own path. Does anyone know if he wrote any of the songs off the new CD?

I can't say that I like this song. However, James is clearly a great vocal talent. He needs to find himself in a good band that will develop his raw vocals into something that can set the world on fire. The potential is there, the guy has great pipes. Let's hope he can tap into what is necessary to succeed. This isn't what I'd call the right direction. James has the capability though, there is no doubt.
