Guests included stars from the film Jerome Benton and Emmanuelle Salet, Prince discovery and backup singer extraordinaire Sueann Carwell, and costume designer Vaughn Terry, who basically created Prince's classic purple look! </p>
<p>I was asked to write an article about this event, which has been published by The Violet Reality!

I loved Michael and had the amazing opportunity to meet him twice. I mourn the loss of a great American artist and humanitarian. </p>
<p>When I think of Michael Jackson, I don't only think about arguably the greatest entertainer who has ever lived. I also think about the humanitarian who contributed an estimated $300 million dollars to charities, and who, when on tour, would often visit as many children's hospitals as he gave performances. Michael's commitment to people and the planet, as well as his music, inspire me to this day. </p>
<p>If you want to be a little sad, but also smile, please take a look at this live in studio performance from me 10 years ago:</p>

(the current title is "Kosher Kink."). The amazing Rainbow Geffner (book writer) helped raise thousands of dollars for a wonderful nonprofit (Camp Del Corazon) with this reading. Since that time, she (and I) have written and rewritten, and with help from many other people, we are making great progress. I'm very excited to share this show and the songs with all of you in the future. It is my hope to have this show ready by 2017!</p>Jeffrey Paul Bobricktag:musicbyjpb.com,2005:Post/42506002016-06-26T20:59:48-04:002022-04-19T13:57:41-04:00In Memoriam - Bill Cunningham<p>I want to take a moment to pay tribute to Bill (or Billy, as I knew him) Cunningham. He was famous for his extraordinary photography. But I got to know him as a director. He cast and directed me a number of years ago in a play, "Region," at Musical Theater Works in New York City. The play was amazing, with some of the best music I've ever had the honor to sing. It was about Catholicism, homosexuality, AIDS, Buddhism, and finding peace in one's own life and loves. </p>
<p>Billy was great to work with. I LOVED working with him. He was a sweet, smart, gentle man. I hadn't spoken with him in years, but we always were on good terms. RIP Bill Cunningham, and thank you.<br><br>JPB</p>Jeffrey Paul Bobricktag:musicbyjpb.com,2005:Post/40552922016-02-03T14:15:00-05:002016-02-23T02:15:41-05:00Jeffrey Enters the NPR Tiny Desk ContestNPR's Tiny Desk features intimate performances, recorded at the desk of "All Songs Considered" host Bob Boilen.

The Musical.<br><br>Chutzpah! is an irreverent musical comedy about a Jewish girl from Long Island who runs away from home and gets a job at a Manhattan deli. No sooner does she learn the difference between a kishka and a tuches that she discovers the deli is a front for a burlesque club run by Orthodox Jews! Will she make it as a burlesque dancer? Will she make it with the club’s DJ? Will she reconcile with her family? Or will her idea to use her father’s new polysaccharide as a tool for sexual liberation be the answer to a repressed society’s dysfunctionality? A smart and funny look at modern Jewish values and the sexual hypocrisies behind the traditions. <br><br>Come to this benefit reading to raise funds for Camp del Corazon, a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides year-round experiential opportunities for children faced with the challenges of growing up and living with heart disease.<br><br>Tickets:<br>Young Professional, 1 ticket to Chutzpah!: $35<br>Group Heart Friend Package, Includes 4 tickets for Young Professionals: $120<br>Fun Heart, includes a drink at the reception after the show: $50<br>Generous Heart, includes open bar: $125<br>Golden Heart Donor, Includes performance, open bar and immense gratitude: $500<br>Sponsor a Heart, Sponsor a camper for a week of camp: $1500</p>Jeffrey Paul Bobricktag:musicbyjpb.com,2005:Post/32405982014-09-09T17:15:00-04:002021-07-27T07:11:40-04:00JPB Live at Grand Opening of Squirrel & the Bee<span class="event-when with-time"><time class="from"><span class="date">Saturday, September 13</span> @ <span class="time">4:00 PM</span></time></span><br><span class="fn org">Squirrel & The Bee</span>, 515<br><span class="adr"><span class="address">Millburn Ave</span>, <span class="city">Short Hills</span>, <span class="state">NJ</span></span>

Every year Hearts & Voices produces an average of 250 concerts, bringing the gift of live music to thousands of people at numerous facilities throughout New York City and Washington, DC including hospitals, residential facilities and day treatment centers. Every week, talented musicians from all musical genres volunteer their time and talent to entertain the most appreciative of audiences.<br><br>
Many people living with the HIV/AIDS routinely spend time in facilities that can serve their health needs. Most people in these facilities are not able to go out to enjoy live music and entertainment, so Hearts & Voices brings the beat of the city to them.<br><br>
Jeffrey Paul Bobrick is honored to be a Heart and Voices Artist. "I've always belived that all human beings have gifts that we can share to improve the lives of others," says Jeffrey. "I've been very fortunate in life and it's important that I pass that on. For me, one of the things I can give is music. I'm so happy and joyful to be working with this great organization to share the gift of song with those who could use it most."<br><br>
Hearts & Voices continuously seeks to adapt to the changing needs of the HIV/AIDS community by tailoring live performances to meet the desires of patients and residents. The Hearts & Voices artist roster is diverse, and always expanding. Celebrity performers who have participated include Destiny’s Child, LL Cool J, Stanley Jordan, Jewel, Ethan Hawke, Jon Secada and Floetry, among others.<br><br>
“… some days I can barely get out of bed, but I know that I have to fight this thing… music helps a great deal, we can sing along, and it makes us feel like we are still a part of society.”<br>
- Carol, patient<br><br>
“Music is a form of contact to another person (expressing) your feelings. But it’s not done verbally, it’s done through the soul.”<br>
- T. J., patient<br><br>

Casey<br>
Music and Lyrics by Jeffrey Paul Bobrick<br><br>
CHORUS<br>
This is for all the Casey's out there<br>
This is to all the ones who never cared about you<br>
So unaware about you<br>
This is for all the broken hearted<br>
Losers before the fight has started<br>
How to get through<br>
We will share about you<br><br>
It makes me sick of everything I've ever seen<br>
How can our lives be turned to such an angry dream<br>
I saw him snap and throw that boy hard on the ground<br>
The people watched but didn't care or make a sound<br><br>
So many boys, so many men put up their guard<br>
Their posture hides the places where they have been scarred<br>
Where does it start, when does it end, I think we know<br>
That it's a vicious seed and hatred makes it grow<br><br>
CHORUS<br>
This is for all the Casey's out there<br>
This is to all the ones who never cared about you<br>
So unaware about you<br>
This is for all the broken hearted<br>
Losers before the fight has started<br>
How to get through<br>
We will share about you<br><br>
Speak with your fists but there are things you cannot say<br>
So many victims and so steep a price to pay<br>
There are some thing that happen that/and should never be<br>
We let them go, it takes away from you and me<br><br>
CHORUS<br>
This is for all the Casey's out there<br>
This is to all the ones who never cared about you<br>
So unaware about you<br>
This is for all the broken hearted<br>
Losers before the fight has started<br>
How to get through<br>
We will share about you</div>Jeffrey Paul Bobricktag:musicbyjpb.com,2005:Post/899972010-12-24T19:50:00-05:002021-06-23T12:11:13-04:00Winter Wonderland - Happy Holidays!!!<script src="http://cdn.wibiya.com/Toolbars/dir_0600/Toolbar_600453/Loader_600453.js" type="text/javascript"></script>My first holiday single, “<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Winter Wonderland</span>” is out!

You can see a fun video on youtube and you can buy it on on iTunes. It costs $.99. Making $1 may not be a big deal to you, but it is to me because it means that I’m in the music BUSINESS rather than the music hobby.<br>
<br>
Here's the link to click and pick up my song “Winter Wonderland” right now: <a target="_new" href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/winter-wonderland-single/id410792212">http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/winter-wonderland-single/id410792212</a><br><br>
If you don't like iTunes, you can buy it directly on my web site at: <a href="http://ilovejpb.com/fr_store">http://ilovejpb.com/store</a><br>
<br>
Also, if you like it, please share the youtube video with anyone you think will like it. You know, Facebook wall, email, etc. That’s free, after all. Here’s that link: <b>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e70UfikI1Tg</b><br><br>

The contest asked songwriters to take a holiday song and wrote original lyrics to it about Ariel Publicity, Cyber Pr and online marketing. If you don't know, Cyber Pr is one of the top online marketing companies for singers and songwriters. I'm very happy and honored to be the WINNER!<br><br>
My song has been distributed to all their friends and colleagues as their HOLIDAY VIDEO CARD, on their @cyberpr and @podsafe twitter accounts and included in their Holiday Songs Pre-Cleared newsletter that goes out to 16,000+ social media makers. Plus, I've won a 2 month Cyber Pr campaign from the company! Yay!<br><br>
These are the lyrics (to the tune of...you guessed it..."Winter Wonderland")<br><br>
Tweeting in a Cyber Pr Land<br>
Lyrics by Jeffrey Paul Bobrick<br><br>
On the net, are you tweeting<br>
'Cause your pitch bears repeating<br>
People will look<br>
At your Facebook<br>
While Tweeting in a Cyber Pr Land.<br><br>
Will your friend count get much higher<br>
'Till myspace is retired<br>
We're having some fun in Reverb Nation<br>
And Tweeting in a Cyber Pr Land.<br><br>
Go online to update your press kit<br>
Making sure your music is podsafe<br>
Email your 1,000 true fans with wit<br>
So they'll enjoy the music that we make<br><br>
Then we'll share Derek Sivers<br>
His blog always delivers<br>
We'll blog and retweet Music Success In Nine Weeks<br>
Tweeting in a Cyber Pr Land.<br><br>
There are more in-jokes there than you can shake a stick at! Last week I went to Cyber Pr headquarters in Brooklyn, NY for a wonderful holiday meal made by Ariel Hyatt. While there, we shot a fun little video to the song. <br><br><br><a target="_new" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq8_HrEx93w"><br></a> <center><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/zq8_HrEx93w&hl=en_US&fs=1&">

And I'm feeling a little under the weather. "Pobrecito," as my high school Spanish teacher used to say. But I'm not too sick to move forward with a holiday song for you. It will be online soon. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and ideas!
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">I hope all of my "<em>mishpucha" </em>had a very Happy Chanukah. Around the holidays, I always make sure to be thankful for what I have. This is more true this year than ever. My friend Andy was recently volunteering in Haiti, which, as you may know, was devastated by an earthquake last January and is currently under seige from cholera and disease. After returning from Haiti, Andy told me: <strong>"We live in a paradise." </strong>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">This week's video is a "vlog" (Video Log, like a blog but with video instead of words, for the uninitiated) from the fall, directly related to this thought. I went to Miami as a volunteer to sort clothing, food and medicine for Angel Wings International, a non profit sending medical relief to Haiti. I was asked to perform in front of all the other volunteers, especially since i wrote the jingle for the organization. Part of this performance can be viewed in the video, in which I perform REM's "Everybody Hurts."<br><br><a target="_new" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX1MN_i2LXI"><br></a> <center><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/_NX1MN_i2LXI&hl=en_US&fs=1&">

<br>
Friday June 25th marks the one- year anniversary of the death of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. On June 25th, 2010 beginning at 4:30 pm, Rev. Al Sharpton will join close friends of the Jackson family for a Memorial Service at the Harlem State Office Building's Plaza located at: 163 W. 125th street, New York City.<br><br>
Jeffrey Paul Bobrick is honored to have been invited to join the tribute to Michael being held today in Harlem. We believe the tribute will be broadcast live on WBLS radio http://www.wbls.com/ beginning close to 4:30pm. Of course, if you can make it in person, please come!<br><br>
Jeffrey will be performing his Michael Jackson tribute song "Michael (The One And Only)." Please download your free copy from our web site if you haven't done so already!<br><br>
We will be celebrating the life of Michael Jackson in Harlem where Michael Jackson's name lit up 125th street for so many concerts through out the decades where he revolutionized Pop Music. As you may know National Action Network is one of the leading Civil Rights organizations in the nation with over 45 chapters around the country.<br><br>
For decades the music of Michael Jackson has changed the world and deeply impacted the lives of our children and artists currently at the top of the Billboard Charts. We all witnessed the nation come to a complete stand still after hearing the news blasted on the airways that the world's best selling recording artist of all time had passed away. We all crowded around our televisions and stood in line for hours to witness the largest memorial service of this generation in which Rev. Sharpton and other iconic figures gave their personal and respectful tributes to the King of Pop. One year later we want to remind the nation that we will not forget Michael Jackson and that his legacy will continue to live on forever.<br><br>
Aside from selling millions of records and giving us many of the best songs recorded in this nations history, Michael Jackson cared about helping others and donating to underserved communities. Michael spent many hours donating time and money to make a difference for the generation that succeeded him and the voiceless who currently couldn't speak up for themselves. He was amongst many celebrity icons that came to National Action Network's Headquarters to fight for the equality of all people. On June 25th we hope that you can join us as we celebrate the life of Michael Jackson.<br><br>
After a brief memorial service, Rev. Sharpton will lead a march to the Apollo Theater, where he will conduct a National Moment of Silence for the King of Pop at 5:26 pm (the exact time of Michael's death).<br>Jeffrey Paul Bobricktag:musicbyjpb.com,2005:Post/802532010-06-24T19:30:00-04:002021-11-09T09:09:47-05:001st Anniversary of Michael Jackson's DeathSometimes in our grief, great art is there to help us through. Shakespeare has a sonnet that speaks about the nature of love, stating that love “bears it out even to the edge of doom.” I was thinking about this line today, this “edge of doom.” Taken out of context from the sonnet, in my life there have been times when I felt like I was at that precipice, that “edge of doom.” It was a terrible loneliness.<br><br>
I was a child. Young people have incredibly strong emotions, but they don’t have the abilities that adults have to deal with these emotions. I was a lost boy, helpless and hopeless. No one understood, and even though people cared about me and people loved me, I felt very much alone. I think, if we’re honest, we can all remember a time like that.<br><br>
In those moments, and there were many of them when I was a child, Michael Jackson comforted me. I saw in him loneliness and a longing that I felt within myself. I saw in him love and joy that I felt within myself. I saw him finding himself in his art the way I wanted to find myself. Or was it lose myself in art and creativity? Sometimes it seems like it’s the same thing (as Michael sang in his song <i>Speechless</i>: “…I am in the light, where I cannot be found.”)<br><br>
In my tribute song to Michael Jackson, I wrote “To me you were my mother, father brother.” Since I’m performing <i>Michael (The One And Only)</i> at a Memorial in Harlem on Friday, I’ve been practicing it and was wondering about this lyric of mine. It makes no sense. How could he be all three things? Or any of them? Especially since I do have great parents who love me and have even been comforting me even today as grieve. Emotionally, he was these things. When I was so lost and lonely, it was Michael who pulled me through, who served as inspiration, mentor and mirror. Sometimes an emotional truth trumps logic. Or as Michael once said “I’m Peter Pan in my heart.”<br><br>
This experience of Michael as brother, Michael as savior, seemed unique to me, as if only I felt this way. But when I looked and look around the world, I see there are millions of people who feel the way I do. This doesn’t count the more casual fans who simply like his music. There are millions more of those. But to millions of us, he is “our Michael,” transcending language, culture, class, race, and nations. <br><br>
Bruce Springsteen once said about another icon of his generation, Elvis Presley: “It’s like he came along and whispered a dream in everybody’s ear, and then we all dreamed it somehow.” We all dreamed the dream that was Michael Jackson. And whether we loved him passionately to the brink of doom as I did or had ambivalent feelings, he captivated us, spoke to us and captured us. When I say “captured,” I don’t simply mean that he captured our attention. Yes, he did command our attention, whether moon walking at Motown 25 or simply clapping for 5 seconds on top of a car). I mean that he was us. Michael is US. And of course he isn’t us at all. All great artists are full of contradictions. Perhaps the greater the artist, the greater the contradiction.<br><br>
A final thought. I was speaking with a friend of mine today. She is a Chinese woman in her 70s. We were both sad about Michael. She said to me “There will never be anything like him again.” I agreed with her but I told her I thought that culturally, there are and will be other phenomena that capture the public’s imagination as Michael did. “Look at Harry Potter,” I said, “or Star Wars.”<br><br>
“But those weren’t REAL!” she told me. “Michael was REAL! Moonwalk was REAL!” She’s right. Michael wasn’t someone else’s creation in an alternate universe. He was our creation, or his creation, but in our universe. He was real and his music was honest and spoke to our deepest hearts, our greatest yearning and our brink of doom. And now he is gone.<br><br>
I miss you Michael.<br><br><img src="//i47.photobucket.com/albums/f174/JPBMusic/MJandJPBseparatedatbirth.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" style="width: 418px; height: 137px;" /><br><br>
“Every song you ever sang was true<br>
We wish that we could give the same to you<br>
Michael, you know we’ll always love you!”<br><br>

It's message that we all go through difficult times and to stay living really resonates with me.<br><br>
This is my last American Idol Response of Season 9 and I decided to sit down and play the piano.

I do love "Come To My Window" and "Maybe I'm Amazed," but this speaks to me.<br><br>
I decided to do more verses this time as well. I should say, about the verses, Leonard Cohen wrote 7 I believe, and I did not want to do all of them with just voice and a guitar (Cohen does four in the original version and six in his recent live version). All the lyrics sung here are, to my knowledge, correct Cohen lyrics (including his recent substitution of pilgrim for somebody -- actually, his substitution is pilgrim who claims to have...).<br><br>
Watching American Idol tonight, I was impressed with Lee DeWyze's version. I would have loved to have that kind of powerhouse instrumentation, even though it may have been a little much. But my man Rick Warren did a great job on acoustic guitar as usual and I feel like this version is very complete for just voice and guitar.<br><br>
That said, my favorite version of this sung is still Jeff Buckley's. It is such a fine moment by a talent taken from us too soon. K.D. Lang's version is extraordinary too. I hope you like my Hallelujah. It is one of the greatest songs ever written in my opinion.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xuG4-Isxzc" target="_new"><br></a> <center><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/DY2QzEEjc04&hl=en_US&fs=1&">

"Moon River" has a gorgeous melody, chord progression and lyrics. It is truly a beautiful and haunting song.<br><br>
We looked at a number of ways to approach it and went with a slow croon approach. Perhaps if I had a full band I might have done something more uptempo/modern with it but with only guitar and vocals, I think this works well.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIzIHRoj1SQ" target="_new"><br></a> <center><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/FIzIHRoj1SQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&">

Often part of the challenge of doing these every week is not knowing a song well (or not knowing it at all!) and then performing it with hardly any time to prepare. The great thing about this song is it is a song I have performed before, so I know it well. It's truly a phenomenal song and the arrangement by Quincy Jones swings like nobody's business.<br><br>
The song ends with "I Love You" and this goes out to all my fans who have supported me and encouraged me.

I have a lot of respect for Shania Twain as a pop/country powerhouse, but her music and me are not necessarily a perfect fit.<br><br>
This song "No One Needs To Know" is written for a woman to sing, but since it is supposed to be shorter anyway with the Idol time restrictions, I had enough verses that could be sung by a guy to make it work.<br><br>
The structure is almost like an old fashioned musical theater song to me, but it feels very country, with a lovely, lilting melody.<br><a target="_new" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xuG4-Isxzc"><br></a> <center><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/_xuG4-Isxzc&hl=en_US&fs=1&">

If I could choose any song, I’d probably choose something like “I Believe” and perhaps be called old fashioned by Simon. But I have seven songs to choose from and none of them are “I Believe.” The one I choose is “The Boxer,” sung originally by Simon and Garfunkel. Like Lee DeWyze, who sang the song on American Idol Tuesday night, I heard this song growing up, probably because my parents liked it and listen to it. Lee said “The Boxer” inspired him to pick up a guitar. While I still am not inspired to pick up a guitar, it may have been a song that inspired me to start writing music. I always found this melody haunting and Paul Simon and I both have the New York Jewish kid thing going for us. I’m not sure that it is inspirational in any other way though. It’s a sad song to me, depressing even. I’m not sure why this is considered for Inspirational Songs week but I’m glad it was. “The Boxer” is beautiful and harrowing and it is a privilege for me to sing it.<br><br><center><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/RPe6eMkEu4w&hl=en_US&fs=1&">

Elvis is truly one of my favorite performers and singers of all time. I am in the small minority of people who think he's underrated, not overrated. Or as Phil Spector once said: "You have no idea how great he is, really you don`t. You have no comprehension - it`s absolutely impossible. I can`t tell you why he`s so great, but he is."<br><br>
The feeling and emotion in Elvis' voice moves me so much. I am always inspired by his singing and his approach to songs.<br><br>
This week I took on "Suspicious Minds." We reworked the song a little bit, especially the bridge.<br><br>

I love R&B music but I'm not really an R&B singer. I can't help thinking of something the legendary Little Richard once said: "R&B means 'Real Black" (just so you know, the term "R&B" actually stands for "Rhythm and Blues" and was coined by the Jewish writer and A&R man Jerry Wexler, but Richard is speaking about meaning, not acronym).<br><br>
So how will I do this week? What will they sing that I can choose from?<br><br>
Turns out there are a few songs I like for me. I think about the classics "Ain't No Sunshine" (sung by Aaron Kelly) and "What Becomes of The Broken Hearted (sung by Didi Benami) as well as "Ready For Love" (sung by Michael Lynch). But I settle for "Sweet Love," originally recorded by Anita Baker (and sung on Idol by Tim Urban). I decide to play piano for the first time in American Idol Response. It's a cool, subtle song with a great turnaround from the chorus into the verse and I was happy with how it came out. <span style="font-size: larger;"><b>How do you like it?</b></span><br><br><center><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/IG-Ch9s3VkI&hl=en_US&fs=1&">

Sometimes I wonder about these judges. American Idol is, at least in part, a singing competition and they so rarely give actual advice on singing.<br><br><img src="//i47.photobucket.com/albums/f174/JPBMusic/top-24-american-idol-9-siobhan-magn.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" style="width: 147px; height: 220px;" /><br><br>
Case in point, Siobhan Magnus this week, who gave a performance well below her usual standard. In critiquing her and looking at what may have gone wrong, the judges spoke about song choice and gave vague commentary about flaws with “pitch,” “pushing” and “screaming,” but they never actually got to the source of the problem.<br><br>
That song, "Through The Fire," had major sections that were problamatic for the talented Siobhan. The second part of the chorus was especially difficult. She was attempting to "belt" a staccato section and she could not pull it off. Perhaps if the notes were sustained (meaning, held longer) she would have had an easier time but to bring the "chest voice" so strongly into play simply didn't work for her on these briefly held notes. In a more classical tradition, she would want a blend of "chest voice" (a heavier mechanism) and "head voice" (a lighter mechanism).<br><br>
"Belting" this high can be challenging if not foolhardy for any singer, especially one who is just starting out. Siobhan would need to have more vocal control in that area of her voice to tackle this song in this key. It may have been the wrong song for her or it may have simply been the wrong key. That’s the advice I wish she had been given. What the judges might have suggested is to find songs or keys that better suit her, as she has many times in the past and also do the vocal work necessary to have greater mastery, which is something many singers, including me, work on all the time.<br><div style="text-align: left;"> </div>

I'm especially grateful for the positive feedback I've been getting on youtube. Thanks to everyone who is commenting there. It's awesome and humbling to get comments like this:<br><div style="text-align: center;"><i>"Best. Version. Ever. Thank you SO much."</i></div>
<br>
This week I'm singing the classic Queen hit "Crazy Little Thing Called Love." It's actualy the first true up-tempo song I've done for American Idol Response. I've been a Queen fan for years so I already knew the song very well before singing it. This week and last week I recorded these with Rick Warren, the producer I worked with for my MJ Tribute song, "Michael (The One And Only)." Rick and I really enjoy each other and you see me talking to him right before the song starts.<br><br><center><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/Xib3FaEXDD0&hl=en_US&fs=1&">

But when I heard Didi Benami perform "Play With Fire," I knew I had a song I could call my own. I worked on this with Rick Warren, who produced "Michael (The One And Only)." I really like working with Rick.<br><br>
This might be my personal favorite so far, along with "Wicked Game," which is also dark with a slightly similar vibe. I hope you like it. I've been getting a lot of comments on youtube but not a lot here so please feel free to comment here or there as you like.<br><br>
Most importantly, please share with your friends! It means the world to me.

The music and lyrics are so beautiful, clever, eloquent and heart wrenching. Their are so many amazing versions of Hallelujah, with my favorite still being Jeff Buckley's. I remember crying the first time I heard it. This is actually a song I've covered in my life show (you can see a clip of that here if you want: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oC1xKZC7GMo" target="_new">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oC1xKZC7GMo</a>).<br><br>
When I saw this sung on Wednesday night, I knew this was the song I wanted to do. It's a little challenging to perform this song in such a shortened version, but I was happy with how it came out.<br><br>
The pianist on this one, Alexander Clough, is a friend of mine who I actually met in a New York subway. He plays jazz at a lot of cool spots in New York City.<br><br><center> <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/t4pFJSk7uMA&hl=en_US&fs=1&">
