isn’t really his debut album. he had an album under the name Jericho called Smoke Signals before this. But i’m happy for him!
He and Kevin McHale are the boys with legit voices. I adore Cory Moneith but i def prefer them over him sometimes…
Kevin McHale has my very favorite voice among the men on Glee. Such soul!! LOVE it.
I love other asian
instead of pipe dreams you should check out and download sweet dreams by collin marrero on itunes
Way too much clothes on for me to keep paying attention.
Rather watch him, then listen to him.
I can’t stop listening. This song is amazingggggg!!
Hmmm some notes sounds like “I will survive” LOL. I like it overall.
Hahaha I totally agree! I think the song is okay. I don’t think I’ll buy his album.
I’m so glad someone also noticed too.
Didn’t notice until you said it, but yeah. Except that song is good. This is a wannabe deep bore.
Totally thought the same thing about it sounding like I will survive
It is amazing how much it sounds like it – did no one hear it???? It is literally the song
Also, this does NOTHING for his voice. At all.
Not only some notes, almost the entire song sounds like a rip off of “I will survive” – so much for creative freedom
He tweeted about that:
Mark_Salling:
Love yal
Yes “higher power” is a loose tribute to “I will survive” duh, the rest of the album is not so calm down
“tribute” ummm that’s a new way to say rip-off
It also sounds A LOT like “Supreme” by Robbie Williams.
From all the kids, he was the one i didn’t expect to debut first.
well, that droned on with almost no melody for quite awhile. a lot of those loops sound like they’re from other songs. totally forgettable.
I agree, the song seemed to drag, doesn’t sound like a hit really.
I thought it was bad too
I’m surprised by the fact that he uses real words like “permeate.” I’m afraid the lyrics are bit too smart for Top 40 radio
This isn’t his debut album, though. He has an album called “Smoke Signals” that he recorded under the stage name “Jericho” in 2008.
Oops. Sam beat me too it. Thast’s what I get for taking so long to respond after reading. lol
With his voice that song is very disappointing and does not capture his talent.
Instead of pipe dreams I think you should check out and download sweet dreams by collin marrero on itunes
Okay okay we get it LOL!
wow, I actually think this is really good. Anyone else think it totally echos of the beatles? the vocals aren’t quite strong as they could be, but I’m kind of stoked for the rest of the album.
The verses of this song are so similar to “I Will Survive.”
idk, I think he’s talented and amazing but this song just isn’t really doing it for me. I feel like he could be so much better. In the beginning for some reason i was kind of getting a System of a Down vibe with the way his voice sounded.
Wow, that was horrible. I didn’t even make it through the first verse. Yikes!!!!
how dramatic.
No, it’s reality…my feelings on amateurish crap.
Wow. I’ve never watched Glee, but his voice is so dull. The song just puts me to sleep.
