Same one! :D

He's done several independent albums, and just got done touring with Marc Anthony.

You should check him out the next time he does a hometown gig... my sis and I always go. :yes:

His music is sooooooo much better than his MMC counterparts (ie. Britney, NSync, etc.)

Is he still going out with Keri Russell? I saw her on Letterman or something like that I don't remember when and she said they'd been dating since MMC...

No, not anymore. I think she really broke his heart... you only have to listen to his songs to know it. :(

:sad: Aw...Poor Tony...:sad:


yeah, he's really a nice guy. my sis has followed him since the MMC days, and he greets her by name when he sees her at the gigs and treats her more like a friend than a fan. I've met him many times as well and have even gotten several hugs. :cute: So I really hope he gets the musical recognition he deserves someday... he's a real nice guy, no big ego at all.

Yeah, Waterford, actually. Back when I was in college, I was taking this journalism class and me and a friend who was also in the same class practiced our *investigative* skills by driving out to Waterford and looking him up (this was while he was still on MMC, my friend was absolutely in love with him)... we went to his grade/high school (I can't remember which) and talked to some of his teachers, and looked in the library at the yearbooks, etc. We ended up finding out from someone, can't remember who, where he lived... and we drove by the house and ended up talking to his mom for about 10 minutes or so. He wasn't there cuz he was in FL doing MMC but we later laughed at the whole thing...we couldn't believe we were actually able to find his home! *no, I don't have stalking tendencies :shifty:*

Anyway, it's scary now to think back about that and how easy it was to find his house. :yes:

He plays small gigs in Michigan quite a bit... I'll let you know when the next one is. :D
