OPRAH INTRODUCES YET ANOTHER SINGING SENSATION

Il Divo, as we all know, is a big hit, because among other things,Oprah has good taste in music and brought them on her show. It is no piece of sheer luck that they are a hit. Oprah doesn't introduce junk. So it  is with her newest intro, Paulo. I am not exactly an Oprah devotee, but I do catch her show from time to time,and I am very pleased that I caught it the other day, when she and Mariah Carrie took this young man, 12 years old, under their collective wings, on the " wildest dreams" program, and gave him all he needed to make his singing debut on her show. He sang a song written and produced by Mariah, (sorry if I misspelled her last name before,I won't try it again) and was trained, if I understand this correctly, by her own voice coach. He had an amazingly beautiful voice,naturally, but when he came on stage to sing that song, you could tell, from the opening bars, his voice is now TRAINED! Just like That! His song, " Oh, Lord I pray" will be out on CD this fall, in the 2005 WOW GOSPEL HITS collection. No Joke! This kid will give you goosebumps! He is a future star, watch him go!

OUI?
