you were saying how could this irritating thing could be positive(the
msg is somewhere in my digest vsion...), well you see him blinking, then
you ask: why is he blinking that much!? someone tells you: he is blind,
then he's blinking and blinking and blinking reminding you that.
Couldn't he just keep his eyes closed? or open? or wear glasses? okay
the last one was a bad idea :P

You're wanting to find ONE thing commom to all them that makes them
famous/popular. You won't find it. Like you're saying:
Charlotte/Brightman sell because of the angel thing, Bocelli sells
because he is a hunk, Brightman is fat and Charlotte is a kid. They have
different things that attract the public.

All i have heard of his is the song called "Luna", it's theme of a soap
here. I think his voice is cute and better than Bocelli but i can't tell
you more than that or insist i'm not mistaken cuz as i just told you i
know little about him.
