integrity voice sound
There is nothing like the sound of a Welsh Male Choir and the Treorchy is the finest. They have represented the best of the Welsh voice for generations with honour and integrity. They are international ambassadors.
voice important done
I would want to be known as a great singer; that the records I've made and the performances that I've done to be remembered. But the voice is the most important thing. The showmanship goes along with it. But I want to be remembered for my vocal ability.
thinking giving people
People who go out and do hits year after year after year, I think the fans deserve more than that. The audiences deserve more than just that. You need to give them something new, or things you really love to sing. And they love it.
song boys want
I want to find out more about how the Backstreet Boys get their incredible sound. I've got both their albums and I would love to cover one of their songs
rocks kicking singers
I couldn't do the heavy rock thing anymore. Noddy Holder was around kicking every singer in the ***. I never wanted to be a pop singer. Christ, how I hated Noddy!
love-is air sight
Love is in the air everywhere I look around. Love is in the air every sight and every sound.
thinking long people
I think the people who really love the way somebody sings, they like to hear it. As long as you don't change your style completely or do something that has nothing to do with what you're known for, which I don't agree with.
art soul talent
You are only a young talent, but we don't know how old your soul is.
moving house one-day
I haven't become an American! Having a house in LA is just where the house is. It's just a convenience thing living there. I carry Wales around inside me. I'd consider moving back there one day. I never really left.
moving keys changed
As for the music business itself, the key things have not changed that much. It operates like any business and money still keeps things moving.
singing realizing
I realize that singing is saving my life, once I started again.
littles saws comfort
Comfort me by a solemn Assurance, that when the little Parlour in which I sit at this Instant, shall be reduced to a worse furnished Box, I shall be read, with Honour, by those who never knew nor saw me, and whom I shall neither know nor see.
home listening radio
I love listening to new stuff, at home in LA I always have the radio on to hear what is happening.
wine men desire
It is widely held that too much wine will dull a man's desire. Indeed it will...in a dull man.
