    James’ voice and emotion was WAYYY better. Some people just have IT. and when they sing and play it’s miles above imitation. Can’t be replicated. It’s as if their soul is singing, not just their vocal chords. He has it.

    This 'Secret Busker' was actually my friend's idea! He applied for an internship with Radio 1, and in the application he had to give ideas of what he thought would make good viral videos (or something similiar, cant remember the exact question) and he put down this exact idea! About a month later Radio 1 made their first secret busker video! Bit too much of a coinincidence for my liking. Please credit him Radio 1 if you did use his idea!

    I'm from America. I've followed him for years, nobody in America knew who he was. I'd never heard say you won't let go, when it was played for the first time on my local radio station, I knew instantly that it was him. He has such a distinct voice. There is no way the fake look could fool me! I can't wait to see him live! He was at one of our local radio stations singing that say you won't let go, I was going to go down there and beg to see him but I was in a horrible car wreak that morning and my daughter and I could've died. We are so lucky to still be here. But I missed my chance to see him.
    It's really rare for me to find an album where I love every single song on it! I think back from the edge is only my 3 album to love every song.
