I just read your post history, and noticed that most of them are in the pop forum, so this statement doesn't surprise me.

I'm just glad he's not going to lipsynch it.

That is too bad. I was hoping to hear him sing his new single live!

I hope him a speedy recovery.

I was really disappointed to hear that; I was REALLY looking forward to hearing him perform 'You'll Be There'.

It's taken me awhile to REALLY appreciate that song, but I'm now inclined to think it could easily spend a month @ #1, making it his biggest hit since the exceptional 'Living And Living Well' spent a month @ #1 in 2002.

I don't know if it could surpass 'Write This Down' as his biggest single EVER (unless he had a song which spent at least SIX weks at #1 prior to 1997 that I don't know about), but we'll see.
