He was clean for the most part . The part he was sloppy on was the falsetto but I think that's because he really let it all out and I love it!

What went wrong for HIM, to start singing in the church @ a young AGE, and then BLOSSOM out from his upbringing to TURN to homosexuality. Why didn't the church building ,congregation RECOGNIZE his pain and hurt, or did they, and decided to play it off refusing to address the ISSUE in CHRIST LOVE. Nevertheless THEIRS HOPE for HIM and others that are TRAPPED in this SPIDER-WEB of DARKNESS. FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS SON JESUS TO SET MYSELF AND OTHERS FREE FROM THE SNARES of THE devil. Ask JESUS to set YOU FREE and HE WILL. To STOP YOUR hurting in the INSIDE, ASK JESUS to come INTO YOUR LIFE and he will set you FREE from ANY ungodly LIFE STYLE. I,M LIVING PROOF. 😎🤗
