Nice vocals. But i'm not a fan of R&B. The kid has talent, don't get me wrong, but he doesn't have that extra something that separates him from other R&B singers.

I heard some of his others, but the song 'Because Of You' is the one that really made me notice him. I like it a lot.

I think he also writes for other ppl too, like Mario's 'let me love you'........

What he's got unlike some of tha other present day artists is originality. Whenever you hear his voice you can tell its him because its distinct. Alot of other artists don't have that type of originality. But he's supertalented and has written many songs for Usher, Mario, Beyonce, Sammie and others. His biggest hit thus far was "so sick" but I think this new release will eclipse that.

yea that's right. he wrote that song. Listen to this album in full and then go back to his debut album and listen to "so sick"

What originality ? impersonating Usher is not originality my friend, Let's be real, he might have written songs for R&B singers, but he's just a newcomer with same material as those before him.

He's talent but i don't think he's unique in the vocal arena, his similarity with usher is noticeble. But over all he's nice.

Abdi,

ima disagree with u bra. He sounds nothing like Usher. Listen carefully to his voice and listen to Usher's and you'll see. There is a difference. And if you listen to the words in this song he's talking about his ex in a more creative compelling way. Notice he didn't talk about sex and doin anythang freaky like most other uncreative artist do.

He's no luther Vandross, but he's holding his own.His creativity is what separates him from alot of other artists.

His function is to produce hits catchy hook and melody thats how he got placement writing and co writing for other acts. Nothing original but dudes got talent its undeniable.

For the record, this kat has been a talented songwriter for a very long time. He was just out of tha spotlight behind tha scenes making beautiful music pretty much tha same way Kanye West was before he became a hip hop artist

True he conquered the creativity part quite easyly and that's pro'lly the hardest area to cover as an artist so in that case you're right he's unique.

In terms of vocals he's nothing like usher, However dressing like him does relfect to who he looks up to, Why doesn't he admit. It's not that difficult. in addition to that he might have clean lyrics, but saying one thing and doing another is the same, kissing and rubbing is something.

disagree. He doesn't only write catchy songs. If you listen to the majority of his songs, they all have a meaning. There's a storyline that relates to either a past relationship or about something that happens in real relationships that people can relate to. It's more in touch with feelings and emotions and not just about the proverbial sexual acts that other artists like to sing about everytime.
