Anyone else heard this guy? In particular the song 'You're Beautiful'.
I predict this will go to No.1 in Aus.

I came on this board just to find a thread about this song, it is one of those feel good songs and one of those moment songs for sure (weddings, funerals). My mum told me about it, so i came looking...i have heard about 10 secs of it. Sure it will make no.1 from what I have heard :)

I've had his album for a month or two now and it's very very good. He's certainly got a very unique voice and his songs are interesting and well written.

I thought he was a former boy band singer. Have only heard bits of that song from shop speakers while walking through the city. I'll give it another listen.

You're Beautiful debuts at number 11 this week. And considering the garbage ahead of it, and the dip********s that buy the music... Thats a very good debut.

Yep, "Goodbye My Lover" is the standout song for me. When this is picked up by mainstream radio it will be a MONSTER hit.

I'm in my mid 40s, and had a bit of 'life experience', lol. Yeah, this song just about says it all for we jilted lovers, lol.

Have you actually listened to the album, or just the one song or so that is playing on the airwaves at the moment?

Like to know what you'd think of his song about his experiences in Kosovo. Apparently, veterans from that conflict are praising it. I would NEVER have described it as schmaltzy :confused:

I want him dead. Cliched song-writing that I could do if I wanted to be overly-schmultzy.
