    I love how Raphael shared his platform with a younger artist and advised him on which song was best to sing. So many newer artist are narcissistic and selfish...afraid to include anyone else in their shine. They don't realize when God blesses you with a gift that if you keep the right attitude you'll never be out done or cast aside because what He has for you is for you. Doesn't hurt anything to help someone else sometimes :-)
