tell me a bit about you what do you do for a living i'm a pediatric mental health nurse
Okay and what are you gonna be doing for us are you a singer
yes
sir
So this is kind of a different direction you coming on a show like this michael so tell me what the thought process was what's
What's the ambition the dream here well um my family's my reason why i'm here my wife and my six children
you, know one of the things that happens especially because my children came out of foster care when you're surviving you can't dream
and
That has been one of the most rewarding things is providing them with a home in a safe environment where they're free to dream
And so i'm here because i want, to show them that if their dad can live out his dreams then nothing is impossible for them
To fear okay michael listen we're all rooting for you thank you
certain kind of money it's never saw me
i want my whole life to be

To love somebody, to love somebody?
The way that i love?
All the way
just
All the way that i love
Baby you don't know what it's my
baby, no
if michael you know what when we find signals on these shows is it about being technical or is it about being relevant
and sometimes for me it's just about being
real and
A surprise i'm being honest with you because you were so nervous i was concerned for you
but i
think
sometimes
actions speak louder than one
i genuinely mean this is special and everything was perfect and i really mean
