I hope most people understand how difficult 1:16-1:22 it is to do that with your voice. Go Kenton. Limitless, man.

It's a fantastic run. I'm singing this song at a soul gig next week and I'm using his singing for reference, and while I can do these runs though mimic, it's nowhere near as clean as this guy, and he had to come up with them, I just have to copy it 😂

Yes indeed! I first saw him with PMJ singing CLOSER(9"Nails version). Probably watched I 30, 40, 50 times(lost count). The young man is a triple threat: Sing, dance, most importantly, he's an entertainer!!! Can't wait to for him to cut a solo album!!!

[@KentonChen]

Thanks for taking the time to write us!

[@ibkristykat]

BOP? sorry i'm clueless LOL

[@iwtpiwigo]

@@ibkristykat In case you are still wondering, I found some information: Source: Creedmedia Bop: A word to describe a really good song or beat. Synonyms: Jam, hit. Example: “I love this song. It’s a bop.” History: Bop is short for rebop or bebop a sort of rhythmic and fast phased jazz with roots from the 1940s. Source: Cyberdefinitions What Does BOP Mean? BOP means "Good Song" and "Dance." The term BOP is used to refer to a good song, or a song that makes you want to get up and dance. For example: The new song from Nicki Minaj and Lil Baby is a BOP! You're gonna love the new song from Lil Durl. It's such a BOP! In the UK, BOP is also used as a synonym of the word "dance."
