Aww man, I can't believe you were eliminated, I thought you were excellent. You were wonderful and that's all that matters. Even though people expected so much of you because you're in the music industry, they tend to highlight more of your mistakes rather than give you credit for your effort. It's easier being in the judge's chair when you don't have to complete the tasks that were given to you and Karina. You guys were the real champions because you did all the work. However, the judges' opinions were to make you work harder and was for your benefit so I give them credit for that! You know what, even though you might have wanted to win it's ok. You're still a winner and Still, you rise!

I don't think your fans will love you any less. I enjoy your drive of determination and persistence to succeed despite many of the challenges you've faced growing up. I just want you to know that "This too shall pass." and that there is no circumstance or situation that is too great for God. "In all things, remember to put God first. I've always listened to your music ever since I found out about you. Even though there may be many other singers out there who are constantly popping up, I choose to listen to your songs more often(especially one of your latest songs, "Do Right").You will know why as you read on. I admire your enthusiasm and your personality. I feel as if you're not shallow, you're very down to earth and from what I've seen, you always exhibit a positive attitude and is not the type to always want to be seen( or be in the spotlight). You've always been very mature for your age, even when you were younger and I kinda like that about you. Yes, I am a fan but I'm not here to say "Oh, Mario I love you and I want to be with you!" I love everyone(yes, everyone includes Mario also).

To top it off, I may never get to meet you, living all the way in The Bahamas but all I want to say is, Mario, you're very talented and blessed and sometimes you have to go through to get through to your breakthrough. I admire the fact that you are family oriented and caring. There are so many men out there who would have ostracized their mothers but I love the fact that you stayed with your mother and helped her along the way and I respect you for that. My mother and elders always taught my female cousins, my sister and myself to always marry a man who truly loves and appreciates his mother because in turn, they're more likely to do the same to us. Please don't change for anyone. Remain humble! Let Go and Let GOD! No one is perfect however, God placed us on this earth and gave each of us an opportunity to choose life or death, light or darkness, wrong or right. It's up to us to make the right decisions and to make the best of our lives.

Mario, be encouraged, stay focused and be blessed! Most of all, Remember GOD and always be grateful! With God's help and your commitment, you will succeed! You have my support and prayers!

I close with this.. Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the main thing; get wisdom; and with all your getting get understanding(this also goes for everyone who may read this, be blessed) !
