I really liked a lot of the things Terry said... when you could hear it. It would be nice if in the future the interviewer would just listen to the answers without saying a word until Terry (or whoever) stopped talking. He was consistently interrupting thinking he would know how the sentence would end, talking at the same time or even talking over Terry, but especially trying to finish sentences for Terry. Whatever Terry said without any "assistance" would have been fine. But it is nice to see some of the background of his development and to hear his perspectives.

[@est.sar.9276]

Tons of work, but like any other pro. But Terry has a special talent, that It Factor that allows him to have that perfect timing and musicality. He's like Messi or Jordan, one of a kind.

[@vancouverism]

Inspiring story of Terry. Only irritating part is interviewer's mike kept banging against the rail. Thanks

My personal opinion...He's totally overrated...

[@danielwong126]

Good - an opinion. What is the reasoning behind your thought?

[@miltonpacheco1672]

@@danielwong126 I really don't have to answer, but I will...He's got no clave, he's robotic. I hope you know what I mean.

[@wormemc]

I agree , but he's very talented. But for some reason I just don't like that style. We all should find our own style. His salsa journey is really interesting.

[@QuimbaraQuimbara]

@@miltonpacheco1672 he is not a marketing product to be overrated, he is famous because people love what he does, and also he is such a humble guy.

[@miltonpacheco1672]
