Apparently this guys is getting comparisons to the homeless guy with the radio voice, his video got a quarter million views on it's first day: "Lastly, remember Ted Williams, the homeless man from Cleveland with the "golden" radio voice? Well there's a new viral crooner in town. Gary Russo, a construction worker from Queens, New York, spends his lunch break at a New York City work site singing Frank Sinatra songs. His rendition of old blue eyes is so good a passerby named David Fischer videotaped Russo and uploaded his singing to YouTube. In just one day the video has gotten a quarter-million views. We spoke to Fischer, who said Russo hasn't even seen the video yet. Fischer also told us that Russo's singing secret is out. A picture on Fischer's Facebook wall shows news cameras swarming Russo." -Yahoo news "trending now" <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yoOwCSgvNs0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Not going to have the same impact. Won't have people signing him up for things, etc. He's not black, homeless, or rehabbing from drugs. This guy was actually WORKING while he was discovered... not a "feel good" story.
He's goodjudo unit amazing. doubt he will make it or get signed. he can definitely get a job on a cruise ship or in a Vegas lounge if he doesn't want to do construction though
Singers are a dime a dozen these days. I want one of these construction guys/homeless guys to pick up a spalding basketball and be the next Rafer Alston. That's a story I can get behind.
