I've liked some of his songs. I dig him well enough, but I'm not really a rabid fan or anything.

As for his appearance and music videos, I never saw the hoo-ha about it. It's really just marketing what ya got to who ya got. All these millions of pop stars that make music videos of nothing other then their hair blowing in the wind and water splashing on them with two generic dancers in the background are what's odd to me. At least he tries to be something other than that.
