Lil Rounds- (The Way you Make me Feel) I liked Lil’s rendition, she flipped the script and personalized a song that frankly is hard to imagine anyone but Michael Jackson singing. Good strong performance out the gate, the hardest position to be in on the first week. I am looking forward to her singing [...]

So the new Taylor Hick CD “The Distance” is out today.
