He's a wonderchild/man seldom seen, and I completely love his artistery and songs. Oh, and the hair of course!

It was probably fun to shoot, though.

I can't help but wonder whether it would be more or less creepy if Erik were wearing briefs as opposed to boxers. That video is extremely creepy.

Are we sure this guy isn’t Daniel Powter with a new haircut? [4]" I wrote my blurb just slightly too late to submit it; I would have said

Maybe it's the combination of being ginger AND having a fro that is scaring me. Oh I find the video creepy. Maybe it’s the combination of being ginger AND having a fro that is scaring me.

One of the year's best, and that goes for the intimate video as well. Love this song and the guy. One of the year’s best, and that goes for the intimate video as well.

It's all great until that “What I did.. was hurtful”. That part needed to sound bigger. I don't know how I feel about the video BTW. I kind of like it, but it makes me a bit uncomfortable.
