I respect him and all, but I really can't stand listening to his music. It's not any particular thing, just the vibe I get from it - that serious, macho attitude turns me off. I guess I like my music to be more laid-back. To give an example, I prefer Robbie Williams' and Nicole Kidman's cover of Something Stupid. It's just....dunno, more fun to listen to. I confess to never hearing a full album of his though, just the ocasional song.
I can understand what you're saying Ovi. I have mixed feelings about him. I do really like a lot of his music but I don't think I would have wanted to ever meet him!
I don't hear macho posturing.
He sings about lonlieness and heartache a lot more than most people realze. I don't hear macho posturing.
I met him once.
I can tell you that he is a man full of contradictitions and mood swings.
He sings about lonlieness and heartache a lot more than most people realze.

Then you're not really in a position to judge his music, Ovi.
I was not necessarily referring to the themes he's addressing, but rather his style of singing and the backing arrangements. It was a poor choice of words. I don't know, I just don't feel like his music would be my thing, from what I've heard.Fair enough.
A bit harsh, but ultimately I agree with the fact that we shouldn't judge artists based on the radio hits. It's just that nothing I've heard so far convinced me of exploring his albums. Maybe I'm not listening to the right tunes.
