One of my best friends from junior high through college. He came with two albums and was dropped from Capitol Records. I spoke with him last year and had no idea of the struggles he went through. I knew he sang a duet with Vanessa Williams and had a song "Crazy" that made it on the Billboard charts. But he told me about how cold the music business truly can be and what he went through over the past five years. I am so excited that he is finally getting the recognition he deserves. So whether or not you like singing shows and such, just know this man is a really good person and deserves the recognition.

The guy is amazing singer! A real imperial talent. I wonder how he would perform US National Anthem June 4th?

Funny coincidence but Gnarls Barkley's best song IMO is called "Crazy". The singer of the band is sitting on the second chair from the left.

He was great James and even from his short conversation you could tell he is a humble man  |

Thanks all. I figure if any bunch of people could relate to and root for someone that works tirelessly for little reward it would be armwrestlers. Tero, he sang the national anthem on Monday Night Football in Atlanta a while back!

He didn't botch the National Anthem like Christina Aguilera did, by trying to sex it up?
What was she thinking? Yes, our National Anthem is terrible. Trying to sex it up only makes it worse.

Yep! That's what I'm talking about. That in a little more intimate and energized place without stadium echo.

Just watched the show, and I really liked it. Javier was awesome, and I think he'll do awesome. By far the best of the show so far.
