Hey yall!… I hope everybody enjoyed their Thanksgiving!!!.. Now, I know an actual blog from yours truly has been long overdue, but I’ve been crazy busy, and getting tons of great stuff accomplished!… So, I’m actually writing yall from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where we just finished performing in the pouring down rain at the LIVE & LOUD 07 outdoor music festival!… My 6th show abroad!… It was amazing!… Thanks to all of the beautiful Malaysian fans who came out to spread the love and support!
Ok, so now let’s get down to biz!… My follow up single ‘One Word’ is an amazing (no pun) smash hit, and it’s time to rally the troops together to prove that it can hang with ‘Wait For You’!… We need to finish the year on a strong note, and I think we can do that with yalls help!… I need everybody to call their local radio stations, and request the hell out of ‘One Word’…. And I need everybody to go to Vh1.com everyday, and vote for the video on the top 20 countdown!… I think if we all pull together like we’ve done in the past, and be as rabid as possible (like I know we can) then nothing will stand in our way of making ‘One Word’ as successful as ‘Wait’!
I wanna thank yall from the bottom of my heart for your continued, undying support!… 2007 has truly been the best year of my life, and I couldn’t have gotten through it all without you guys!… So let’s make ’08 even bigger and better!!!…. Are yall with me????… Shoutie outies to: the Etrainers, Moosak Sistas, Yaminoys, Yaminions, Flipsiders, and my entire team!
