@Phoenix Edison oy my god, stop spamming

[@trinity95624]

Even with the bad etiquette spamming, he has near zero views.

[@joemiiz]

@@trinity95624 bad etiquette? What’s wrong with what I’m doing

[@chadissmexyyeah]

People are so mean and cruel. He's still extremely handsome and he seems very kind. If you don't have anything nice to say, why say anything at all?. There's too much hate in this world, a shame to add to it. Also, why would he lie and make up so elaborate story?. He's such a sweetheart . I'm pretty sure he wouldn't beat himself up to the point of face lacerations and stitches. Peoole presume they know people , and maybe I'm presuming he's a nice guy but there's more evidence to support that than anything else.

[@MadeVirals]

I'm 30 now .. and this is my favorite band since i was 13 years old .. Hope he can get better!..

[@TimTeatro]

I agree that there is far too much unkindness in the world. And I'll add that the world would be more pleasant if people learned to be more deliberate with their ideas and beliefs. However, I hate the sentiment that if you haven't anything nice to say, you shouldn't say anything. Very often, things _must_ be said that aren't nice. I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that you live in a part of the world where your big concern of the day is some unkind words on KZbin. There are many parts of the world were people are beaten, tortured and killed for not dressing right, or not being born right, or not believing in the right religious myths. The only way to fix those problems, is through a certain type of unkindness. Much of the world still battles for freedom of expression. So, just because you don't agree with someone, doesn't for a moment suggest they shouldn't have every right to express their opinion. This is unfortunately an invitation for many, many stupid and wrong-minded opinions. But to want a voice yourself is to wish one for all. Good day.

[@hollymcgrath9219]

Tim Teatro I believe in freedom of speech , but I'm exercising my right to say that what people are saying is mean and cruel .

[@veronicadelmar_]

I agree with you! People are so cruel, I will never understand why... Does it really cost that much to leave any positive word and a bit of love towards another person? or just shut the fuck up if one doesn't like them?? Alex is an amazing artist, still good looking, and I'm sure he's a good person and the worst things always happen to good people and it's so sad and makes me so mad because he doesn't deserve it, and I take offence to the world and to God who every day on I'm less convinced of His existence...

[@francisg.1469]

Please don't blame God. We are the ones who chose our own paths. However regardless of what path we are taking, we should be kind to all people especially the least and unfortunate.

[@DeKoningCM]

This guy is a true artist and musician. I wish you all the best alex!

Love Alexs voice, wherever you will go was the song i used to sing to my baby sister who died at 8 months old, 21 years ago, still get a bit emotional hearing it

[@ZyrusSmith]

He sings great live. It sounds exactly like the song. That's talent there.

[@blahvn]

Alex has Parkinson

[@Maribeth0801]

XDranzer000 Yes, he was a little bit shaky at times in this clip. But, you must admit that he probably can sing better than a majority of the "singers" today- all of which would be nothing without auto-tune, plastic surgery, a completely ​made up persona, and...SOOO much more...(but I won't bore you with this anymore!!!)😁

[@Rhiannon011]

@XDranzer000 His voice shakes because he has Parkinson's...shame on you.

[@rafaelpolicarpo5313]

He came to Brazil and I bought tickets to the show and felt the same way as you.

[@Oribellyohhs]

@XDranzer000 he is also sitting which I personally have a harder time singing while sitting. He also normally belts the vocals on that song which doesn't make sense to do with only an acoustic guitar in a cozy setting. His slight changes in the vocals, compared to the original recording, were beautiful.

[@tommysaroda4446]

Alex Band is a humble kind guy with an awesome voice. I heard of his first song I'll go where ever you will go when i was in high school in the early 2000's on MTV. Alex band would not lie about his story here

[@BrianPremo]

I had no idea that he has Parkinson's disease. I hope he's able to continue making music for many, many years to come.

[@xsoftdn450]

same, he's awesome

[@alessandrahaakma2234]

Brian Premo can I ask what is parksons??

[@frozenlicks]

google is your friend

[@datagrab]

Mark AirWind 'cause you have no idea either. Instead, reply like a smartass. Alessandra, it's a disease that can cause uncontrollable shaking, difficulty in executing easy bodily tasks like walking and usually gets worse as you get older. There's no cure for it.

[@Jwdude123]

Awesome guy.

[@vicb5098]

Probly the only singer whose perfect enunciation allows me to understand every word he sings. Amazing vocals.

[@johnmariano47]

Great to see this tv appearance of Alex. Wherever You Will Go is truly one of the best songs ever written lyric-wise and melodically. It speaks right through the heart. Not to mention the range is more universal that almost any voice range can sing it. 'Love to sing this song all the time! Thanks for sharing!

Parkinsons at so early age as it's disease of elderly. He is 39 now. Same age as mine. Even I had paralysis at age of 18 but I came out of it but with its consequences. God bless him. Hope he responds to treatment very well and comes with huge hit like wherever you will go.
