I agree about the flag. As for the performance, I'm just very happy I didn't have to pay to see that. Someone really wants him to gain traction if they gave him a second shot at the Today Show. Is he living in someone's basement?
He's probably just barely getting by on his "name recognition"....and by making guest appearances as a former child star. Hence, his latest desperate attempt to break into the music biz.
I wasn't that critical of his first Today Show performance. But dropping the flag is the last straw with me. He sucks. His voice is gravelly and unappealing, he sings off key (much like his band plays off key) and his lyrics are mundane and un-original, to say the least. He seems totally incapable of originality. And sorry, but that Michael Jackson hair just cracks me up.
I suspect that most folks will....when viewing this latest routine....do a lot of pointing and laughing...just like they did re: the first one.
