| + | talent, natural born entertainer,a very good dancer at the early age of 12, was blessed with a | ||
| + | sonorous voice that never seized to thrill his audience. He | ||

| + | children's group that dazzled during the late eighties, `those were | ||
| + | my most cherished moment of singing, though they were all | ||

| + | straight with his works seem to give less attention to | ||
| + | that, "Success comes with critics, people have the right to say what | ||
| + | they want to, I don't care, people only talk about you if you are | ||
| + | doing well, why don't they say these things (10) ten years ago, that | ||
| + | is because I was not as successful as I am today", he concluded. | ||
