Criticism and controversy

The one song I've listened to is "Grace Kelly" which is pretty good. I haven't really listened to the other songs yet.

Amazon has samples of each track so you can get a feel. I love Big Girls, Lollipop and Relax, Take it Easy.

I just checked out his MySpace page. "Grace Kelly" is like a cross between Queen and Scissor Sisters. Interesting, but I don't think my cup of tea. Definitely not worthy of the horrible reviews.
