I caught this guy sing "knocking on heavens door" on Saturday on "fame academy" he sounded so much like prince and not in a "justin timberlake" faux-falseto way
I think he can be huge
he really sounded hot and he looks sooo hot
anyone from the uk see him? what do you think?

Yeah, I dont think he's anything like him Im afraid. Sure, the lads' got a good voice and looks like he could win, but the new Prince?! Certainly not.

He has an amazing voice, I think alot like Prince but more masculine and sexy

ALEX from the show is a seriously sexy gal!!!

i know of paris and he is very talented and an overall nice guy
he deserves all the success coming his way.

i saw the episode where paris got voted into the academy. his debute so to speek.

he performed aerosmith's 'don't want to miss a thing'.

i absolutely hate that song. but his vocal power simply blew me away.

dude is bad. did you notice the prince print all over his trousers.

i've heard a snippet of 'knocking on heavens door'; anybody got an mp3 of the performance?

well maggotbrain, he has only sung two songs, 'don't want to miss a thing' and 'knocking on heavens door'.

not the best songs to check his funkiness. but i do think he can be.

and he'll probably show it too, knowing that he likes prince and lenny kravitz.

here is a link to 30 second audio snippets from the fame academy students.

click on 'paris' and check him out singing 'knocking..'. the backing vocals are also sung by him i think.

Just checked it out.

He has - good voice control/sound
good looks


His bio says he digs P, and he studied music/played instruments, fronted bands.


THEN WHY THE HELL IS HE ON THAT PAP!!??

If he was the next Prince, he would have been arrested already for jizzing into the audience.

I'm sorry, I managed to sit through the entire first series of Pop Idols, but that was enough to feed my curiosity. These kids are fun to watch, but they are fools to believe they can survive longer than a year or so in the business - remember Pop Idols the Rivals?




Daniel, the guy second from the left, also dug Prince, and played drums a lot in bands (he also went to school with my brother!). You see, I thought I was 'that close' to knowing the next Prince

Until this article summed up what most assumed of the whole game...
