My Girlfriend has been a HUGE fan of his for a long time. I decided to give him a listen and see what he was cracked up to be about a year ago and I'm glad I did. I absolutely love his stuff, he's got some cheesiness to him, but for the most part he's just a very talented singer with a lot of operatic influences I think. I saw him when he came back to Detroit this past summer with my girlfriend and I must say, I've been to a lot of concerts and his show was easily in the top 5 shows i've ever been to. You take a whole new appreciation for him when you see him live. His voice just sort of encompasses you and you really feel the emotion in his songs better live. The thing that sealed it for me and made me a "fan" instead of just a casual listener is when he covered Simon and Garfunkel's "America" live and did an amazing job, IMO. I love it, I have 'live at the greek' now (which is from his last tour and its really good).

I have to agree I listen to him to relax a lot, the majority of the music that I listen to is for that purpose and because of seeing him live I also became a fan of Lucia Micarelli this violinist who is in his band...she's only 15 i think and she's an amazing talent and I have her cd and love it. So yea, you can count me with you K-Wise as being a male fan.
