From you belted your first note at the Audition, I said: "There is the winner"!! Congratulations on a successful and fantastic career thus far, wishing you much more success and the goodness of God🙏🙏 My favourite Chris Martin songs: "Guaranteed" and "Little Green Apples", ofcourse, I'm a true fan so I love all your songs but those two show me two Chris Martins.

[@olivialove9856]

I can't even see through my glasses .😢Chris just continue being you .thank you Simone 😊

[@judeanclarke-hemmings6766]

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others

[@JamaicanSuccess]

Great interview. As Chris rightly said, everything is but for a time, nothing lasts forever. The storm will pass, TOMORROW will come. Stay blessed one and ALL 🙏

[@dawnjohnson4286]

So emotional ❤

[@alisonbowen9930]

I’m so happy for you keep it coming and keep your head up.Happy to know you have God never let him go. Wow that police situation was wicked, but the devil didn’t win. Chris your families and friends brought tears to my eyes. Yes keep singing the song you sing. Don’t let anything or anyone change who you’re. You’re God bless…and you know what they say right…who God bless no curse, Wish you all the best Chris. I love you and Romaine so much you both are so humble.
