"Heaven/Where true love goes"

many of my friends would be suprised i've kinda liked this guy this song isnt bad

hard 2 believe this is the SAME guy that made "Was Dog a Donut".

ok--- does he not have an "image coach" ???.... i mean ... hire Kelly Clarkson's makeover person !!!

i could hear the conversation now ... "Listen ... cat ... i mean ... Yusuf ... seriously ... lets get the beard cut if u wanna have US sales ... maybe a colorful shirt instead of a burka?.... u cant do a music video for MTV looking like Osama " ...

I don`t think kids today are that interested in him or his music, so i don`t think he has to worry about his image, but i do wonder how he`d look without the beard, he`s still a very good looking man...



or maybe it`s just me

Well first MTV would never play him anyway since he is over 25, plus MTV is not really about Music anymore, its your image and how hot you can be. I was just thinking back a few years ago when Cat/Yusef was detained at an airport basically for his look, had that been today and with the new law Bush passed, Cat/Yusef would have been detained,jailed, and probably beaten without a trial or even knowing he was in custody thanks to this new law, scary but true.

Love the song, like a breath of fresh air

adults don't care about him either.

I heard his new single the other day. I thought it was great.

I don't know how successful it's gonna be, but the song was good.

As a youngster, that guy was HOT... HOT, HOT, HOT.

Of course now, he hasn't been into hotness for a while now.

I admire Yusuf even though I might not agree with him all of the time. He gave up a lot to follow his spiritual quest.

A lot of celebrities talk a nice talk... but Yusuf..

Well, I know he's a very controversial figure. I just really admire the guy.

I admire him as well. Regardless of what religion he follows the man is devoted. Not many, especially in the entertainment world would give up as much to follow their spirit.

Also whoever said about how he needs an "image coach" or whatever. You have to be kidding. This guy is SO not about image. If you or the horrible shell of a cable music station called MTV don't like the way he looks, I am 100% sure he doesn't care.

Nothin's wrong with the image at all as long as he's comfortable with it.

liked the new single btw

I get happy when i see such figures still tryin to stick around with good material to offer
