I only hope it's an album with some BALLS, Jim's work over the last few years has been a bit to M.O.R for my liking. Westlife etc whats that all about.
Let us remember Jim has had his biggest sucesses with rock music, when he unleashed BOOH & BIH they were edgy, nobody had heard anything like them upon release, i think Jim's quote about seeing "whats on the other side" applies.
Now i think should this Rhydian/Jim thing come off where do they take it genre wise, honestly i cannot see rhydian beeing the next big rock singer, rock singers evolve, they are not manufactured by tv show.
If it goes the way i expect, MOR, commercial sucess is almost guaranteed at the expense of artistic freedom on Jim's part.
