Brilliant artist....tremendous conviction, unparalleled subtlety, a vocal quality at once masculine and fragile.....Mandy you are truly a wonder

@vanvanvanessaa "Hello, my name is Jason Gideon. You exploded my father, prepare to die.."

@sirtubbyhayes You nailed it..

His voice is soooooo beautiful, just listening to that voice makes me tearful :D

@lcowles Well, there ya have it, total agreement. Mandy has a very devoted fanbase so I expected to receive some vicious replies. You know, like drop dead, kiss Mandy's ass, etc. I respect the man's talent however. He's also originally from my neighborhood in Chicago. BUT, the hi-range in his voice is SOOOOOOOO irritating.BTW, I'm a tenor. See me here on YT. Enter Joel Barry. I sing Nessun Dorma, a Puccini aria.I hit a hi B but it's not nasal

[lcowles]

@Loejyrrab I SO agree. I could never listen to Mandy for long periods because his high range sounds like Mickey Mouse...but his baritone is terrific.

[Loejyrrab]

Mandy's a great performer,actor and I hear a nice guy. BUT, when he sings this falsetto style, it's the old fingernails on the blackboard.He sticks his hands out there and sings like Ethel Merman with cramps. However, when he sings in his baritone range he is wonderful. Watch him sing If I Loved You. Starts out gorgeous, "round in circles I go" beautiful masculine range. Then comes "I'd let my golden chances pass me by" in that creepy ass nasal/falsetto. Oy vey Mandy baby, bag the hi shit.

@Loejyrrab

My very thought! :/

[Loejyrrab]

@Babyhowdy233 Couldn't agree more. King was not only rude but he was down right creepy standing there. He appeared to be a dead man standing.

@sirtubbyhayes

Yours is certainly the BEST description I have read of Mandy yet!

@Babyhowdy233 I think Larry was pretending he was at the bar listening Mandy sing at his house

[Babyhowdy233]

I wish Larry King would back off a bit, rather than practically hover over Mandy through the entire song. It's distracting and just plain rude on Larry's part, IMHO.
