Will El's Second Chance be his biggest solo success? I am hoping and praying so. I've heard the whole Second Chance track and I'm just captivated by it. it speaks to me . Vocally he still has "IT"

Which is far more than In can say for the current line up of R&B/Pop male singers. Hope the whole album/cd is just as good as his last.

Someone had posted on another post Bobby Debarge was a better vocalist. During the first two Switch albums he was at his absolute best. But El surpassed his mentor vocally IMO starting with the Gemini album.

If you're talking in terms of past sales more than likely not. It's a different game.

Success for him this time around would be making a good solid album that his

core fans will appreciate and the R&B Adult Urban stations will play.

I think he will get tremendous support from that fanbase.

We are so indeed of hearing a singers singer right now. its just been too long of the same ol same ol.

Everyone deserves a second chance.

He sang very well at the BET

he was stunning, I wish him all the best

stunning? i think chilling is the better word but I understand. I think me an vainandy r around the same age so he remembers . I think El sounds angelic. His voice soothes & comforts me. and the song second chance speakes to my situation I've never done time before, but have screwed up. and it gives me hope. to forgive myself and move on. saying goodbye to the past promises. starting over.

What do you mean, chilling?

I meant that in a good way ! just curious are u lois?

Oh, I knew you meant it in a good way-do you mean it as in its' eerie his voice is still the same?

Good morining script.

As phunkdaddy mentioned, El should do well with Adult contemporary music (AC). His fanbase is near his age give or take a few years in either direction but it's been a loyal committed base so, he should do well if, the albums good. To his credit he isn't hung up on where he performs, a lot of musicians who had been succesful once feel that can't or won't perform here or there. El will go and sing wherever his fans are and that should push sales as well.

I agree. I'm just happy to see him free, clean, and making new music. I can't wait to hear this album.

it sounds almost haunting when he hits that high note at the end it still sounds the same but better

I guess he's more seasoned. Again I apologize but are u lois?

I hope he can pull this off, even a moderate success would be good for him... a new CD out and a few little tour dates here and there in small venues in major cities would do him very well. He looked good to me on the BET awards, sounded great too.

I see you, Ms Trina!! Sent some goodies your way...

I hope this does well. El Debarge deserves a second chance. He is a special talent who never reached his full potential.

I wish him all the BEST and of course i'll be getting 2 copies one for the house and one for the car.......2nd wave of DeBarge Mania 4 me!!!!

I'll definitely be checking this one out. We need to support our legends.

My little 9 year neighbor asked me what made El a legend last night, when I used that word to describe him. I was kinda speechless

Has a release date been announced? Last I heard, the date was by the end of the year?

9/28

Listen to El's own words on having a Second Chance.

Why? He's only 9. His parents (or you) should educate him. Now if he was 21, I'd been speechless.
