Personal quotes:

"You can try to trick the people and come out wearing a fedora and a tuxedo but that's not me. I was born in the late '70s, I wear jeans. I don't hang out in casinos. The lifestyle isn't my thing. I don't drink martinis and I don't smoke cigars."

I love it, too. I have it on a mixed CD I play when during the spring...on my way home from work.

[JustAKid]

I love him!
When I first heard Feeling Good, I knew he was the best!

[Big DC Fan]

Hi there,

I know his new album "Call Me Irresponsible" isn't out in the UK until 30 April 07, but wondered if anyone's been able to listen to any of his album tracks and know if it's any good?

I love his music, and really liked his music played in the movie "The Wedding Date" with Debra Messing.

Bye for now.

Feeling Good is a great song.

[Khleoswife]

He is such I great singer. I love Feeling Good.

[moonrox]

I love this guy. I have two of his cds.

I think my fave songs right now by him are Save The Last Dance and Quando.

I think he was probably one of the reasons I fell in love with the film, The Wedding Date.

[flash502]

I have a pretty thorough collection of his work... it's amazing

[- bad romance -]

I love this guy. I've only heard his Call Me Irresponsible album, but I think he's amazing. My favourite songs are Everything, Lost and Home. I'd say Everything was my overall favourite.

[CandRLforever]

[- bad romance -]

i LOVE everything. its such a catchy song!

It is. And the fact that it was written about his girlfriend Emily Blunt makes it even sweeter.
