My first post ever on this subject on Maxjax:
To quote Marvin Gay: “Michael will never lose the quality that separates the merely sentimental from the truly heartfelt. It’s rooted in the blues, and no matter what genre Michael is singing, that boy’s got the blues.”
And you even can have 'the same' voice, but you're still different people. And that shows.

'Don't walk away':
Found this on someone's blog. I think she copied below review. No idea from who it is, but I totally agree. Nuance and conviction, that's what I miss on these songs.
"With a stripped-down, blues-tinged soul, Jackson articulates its emotion with nuance and conviction.
“Don’t Walk Away,” he pleads. “See I just cant find the right way to say/ I try but all my pain gets in the way.” Later in the song, he laments all his dreams being broken but feels helpless to do anything about it. Jackson brilliantly captures the emptiness and anguish of the lyrics in his vocal.
Brilliantly captures.........words that really can't be said about the singer on the Cascio songs, as far as I'm concerned. If the singer brilliantly captured any of the lyrics, I would've felt something.
@Arklove:" you always 'teli like it is'"...buuuaaaahhh, lmao.
