Am I the only one who thinks Mario kinda looks like Prince?

(Not that these screencaps particularly highlight that, but I thought you folks might enjoy them.)

Mario was my favorite from the Hollywood rounds.

Since then, he's been losing luster for me. I don't know why. Now he's fallen into the large void of "not Anwar, Bo, or Nadia" for me.

Come on, Mario! Pick it back up!

Although I don't want him to win the competition anymore, i'd be sad to see him go- he does bring a welcome energy to the stage.

My thoughts exactly, too much of a Justin Guarini thing going on here.

I don't think he sounds like Justin at all. He looks sort of like him, but he definetely CAN sing better than Justin and he doesn't look shy like Justin. He is a hard worker, Ross told me that in Hollywood when they were roomate, Mario asked him to practice singing every night before they went to bed. That shows me something, that he really wants this

Mario gave such a beautiful rendition of "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" last night!!! ***swoon***

I hope he gives more performances like this.

Now that you mention it I so see a resemblance to Prince in Prince's younger years. I think Mario is better-looking though.

I'm glad he decided to ditch the hat last night. I hope he keeps it off for awhile.

Mario has a very good voice and is very attractive.I do not think he will win this competition.

Addict · 03-08-2005, 04:12 PM

i think mario is very polished, sings in tune, and is a nice guy, but i usually feel nothing when i hear him sing. last night, however, i thought he did really well with "how can you mend a broken heart." i knew he was going to sing the song, but didn't expect much at all...especially after ruben's version last year. but, wow, he did that song justice. ruben's version kind of made you melt, mario's version made me think of young love. anyways...mario voice still is not something i'm really excited about, by last night's performance was wonderful. he deserves a spot in the top 12.

I love the Bee Gees, so I was hoping Mario would do well with this song! He did! I think he is adorable and a better singer than most of the guys from last seasons semi-finals and finals. (George has a special place in my heart).

Mario should do well with the Theme nights because he has a good voice and presents confidence on stage! Nice job.
