Alright, you had to win this. This is great music and I'm not hating on you or anything, I even did my thumbs up for you. But I think you copied the style of Ryan Leslie...the way you dress, the way you use these synthesizers and the way of recording the video. Sorry, just my opinion. But anyways, great music - thumbs up!
