Some good comments here, additional thoughts:

At least he is not doing the Auto tuned to death I wanna be a rock-star gig. The singing is a little raw but more natural than forced in my opinion. Heres the thing I noticed, expecially in the "Today Show" clip- There is the joy of performing the song on his face.

I also enjoyed seeing what looks like a vintage Martin in his hands, even though it looks more like he used it as a prop in the performance. Hey, I know the guy collects guitars and noodles a bit. I think he has a late 50's Gibson Flying V for example. He doesnt claim to be a masterful player, just a fan. (I also dug the little guitar his bandmember switched to for the slide portion.)

If nothing else, he digs a genre of music many here enjoy. If he turns some of his fan base on to it and that helps sustain and spread its popularity......

Hey its all good!

Well I have now seen the offending footage and know what.........I enjoyed it. He is fresh and I like his humility and his honesty.

 

He may not be everyone's cup of tea but neither are some of the performers who post to this site my cup of tea. (That does not stop me listening for the positives instead of writing them off.) At least he admits his "amateurish" effort.

 

Still and all he is my cup of tea as a refreshingly honest performer. He may be banking on his fame from Black Adder, House, Jeeves and Wooster etc but he has put together an album which has fun and musical talent at its heart.

 

The mans piano work cant be questioned and if his voice seems unauthentic to some, I think it has character. His style is not just the same old stuff. For me it is fun.

 

We all have our opinions. This has been mine. :-)

I believe there was a little documentary with him posted in the Share The Music group here on CBN.com a while back.  Worth a watch.

 

And, besides... he's turning people on to good music, getting people to take note and talk about him, and probably making some decent money from it... ALL BY PLAYING MUSIC HE LOVES.
