Oh FFS, just go away. (Though I would have liked to hear him perform Crazy.)
Well, I fully agree with Jacob on this. Just as I stated above, AI seems to say they want ORIGINALITY, but then force them into the same category of today's junk that all sounds alike. I know there is a BIG difference in how Jacob performed with "God Bless this Child" and "A House" compared to what he ended up with. We don't know personally all the details of what happened on AI between them, but I do know most of the industry will just make you do what sells and force you into doing it THEIR WAY to get anywhere.
Jacob, James and Casey are still my favorite artists of them all. Just hope somehow they can make it enough to not lose all their original style in the process and I will certainly buy any record they produce.
