Yes, intensly irritating. A person who's ego is much bigger than his talent. A singer who's songs are mostly stolen from other peoples records. EMI are suckers for paying him �80 million for signing with them a couple of years ago. Escapeology was one of the worst albums of all time.
I think he has put in his time...a bit of a work horse...and the one trick pony about him but he fills a niche... he kinda showed himself up with that Swing concert on tv a couple of years ago...but give him 20 years and u will be going to his Nostalgic Xmas Show...saying "the make em like the used to"....and he will still be under contract.....
