I don't even care if he ever comes out with an album, he could just tour locally and I would be happy..I just want to see him in person again.. he is such a charismatic cutie pie!! That clip reminded me of Timbaland and JT but its ok cause I have all of their albums too. As long as I can look at him and hear him and he makes some money..I'm a happy camper! :biggrin_wp: Thanks for the Chris Rich Youtube..

RCA would not get involved in any sort of official capacity. It had to be a grassroots effort. They did provide some posters for each party but that was all they would do.

Chrissy: I didn't see the Fantasia story, so can you elaborate? If laziness means she doesn't tour (compared to Elliot, Clay, et al), then yeh, she is lazy...because if you want to make that money you must tour. Record sales don't wholly pay the bills.

Wow, those conspiracy theories just never leave my head where the AI PTP are concerned. Is there a cure for this?
