I'm a fan (and you should be too) because... Since day one he has had the passion of a real artist. He has soooo many songs I can relate to on a day to day basis. The sound of his voice is amazing! I love to sing along with every song from "Braid My Hair" to "Crying Out For Me". Oh and I just heard the new single and I love it! "Music For Love". I mean not to mention Mario is very handsom, and so sweet. He can also dance. I watch dancing with the stars just to watch him. You know he is very brave and courageous for going on the Tyra show and talking about his moms addiction. What a role model. I feel he has grown as a artist and as a young man. I will always be a fan, and I feel that anyone any age can listen and relate to his music. You know over the years I've watched him grow and really mature from my personal opinion. With a fan base as large as his he is sure to have a lot of number one fans.
