lol, suprisingly ive liked him. my music tastes have been very odd lately, and i got his album right when it came out. the funny thing is i hate his on/off again girlfriend ashlee simpson and hope she quits. haha, but yes he is awesome. his best masterpiece would be "take it all away" the song. its beautiful. i think he is better than a lot of other single-man-band/guitarrist/vocalist that are out there. i knew his album would have great reviews before there were any, and it turns out, i was right!
