Christopher Cross just got in his car to beat Avant's ass  "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

No, he's glad he's collecting another check. I don't think Avant's is that bad. I'm not a big fan of his, but I do think he did a good job with the remake (even if it was a forced remake by the record company). **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Co-sign.it wasnt a bad remake..it makes you long to hear the original tho...I remember when this song first came out, Steve Harvey was debuting it as "the first song in a long time to sound better than the original." umm..ok | |

This song is a glaring example of the lack of vision, creativity and originality plaguing contemporary R & B. | |

 It's okay. The vocal flourishes he adds to the song to sort of put his on stamp on it sound a little silly and unnecessary. Certainly nothing worth listening to more than once or twice, but at least now I can say I've heard something by Avant.  | |

I would venture to say popular music. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

He should go "sailing" and tip over and never be heard of again. "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

Remember back in the days when Christopher Cross (before MJJ's Thriller album came out) was suppose to be THE future of pop music?!? Well, he didn't even last passed 1982 from what I noticed during my childhood years.  | |

He kind of faded away....probably on purpose. He has continued to release music and play festivals, so somebody likes his stuff. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

And MJJ already killed Christopher's career by then! | |
