Sam Sparro

Thanks to Jay, because he made me discover Sam Sparro.

I listen to his album, and no single song blows my mind. But I think he has good intentions and an intersting and good and distinctive voice!

Also he's intersting to look at and very flamboyant.

Check out his cover of American Boy!

I know the chart positions but is he well known in the UK, or just some insider favorite?

He seems to be doing well with his shows. He did a show at Indigo2 recently and was to scheduled to do a show in New York, but cancelled

IMO, I don't think he's trying to amaze people, his whole thing is to make people dance and laugh at the same time lol

He did Sex Shooter? haha, good version, that's funny.

His songs Clingwrap and Hot Mess (especially the singing) remind me of Prince well IÄm sure he prays Prince homage.

He also said in an interview that he wrote a Prince-like song for the Pussy Shaved Dolls but they rejected it!

But he gets minus points for saying Madonna is just desparate when trying to be young and sexy.
How can he diss such a gay icon? This won't bring him much fans!
