A soft spoken show, giving everyone a chance to talk, damn it was a breath of fresh air. I'm so tired of fake laughs, cheap jokes, and bright studios
Hope Lee
Hear hear
@Cassie K that's true, although it's not just American shows that push that overly comical look. I completely agree and I hope this does inspire more producers. Obviously shows like this operate on money and sitting down to have a calm conversation isn't entertaining for everyone, but it'll be good to have a few exceptions like this.
Not everybody. Why is Pia Tjelta in an interview in which she has no opportunity to say a single word?
@@silviac221 The other guests talked prior to Hozier coming on. The show is longer than just the few minutes that this video lasts. I've watched tons of interviews from Skavlan. It is a breathe of fresh air to listen to an interview where the host isn't constantly interrupting like most US interview shows.
@@rogerhickson7256 Good to know, I've never seen this show and have no idea about US interview shows because I don't live there. My opinion was about this video.
he strikes me as a calm, thoughtful, respectful person. he was obviously raised by good people. you can just tell, i feel like that’s rare.
They're pretty common. It's just most of them don't become rock stars and appear as guests on talk shows. If you think the way you do then you need to assess the people that surround you.
Yes
I see what you're saying however some of the kindest and most successful people have come from broken homes, at the same time people raised by good parents can turn out as assholes. I believe it comes down to the individual and not entirely on the parents, although good parenting can help of course.
Nick Jay I absolutely agree, that can be true as well
Indeed he was... And a great education system whos emphasis was on producing rounded, emphatetic and compassion human beings
Its great that Skavlan gives his guests time to answer. It has become a rarity on television and radio that guests and audience are given time.
That old man is starting to fall in love with Hozier the more he talks lol
let's be real, he isn't the only one lol
@@vilma743 too true! He is sooooo lush xx
Hahaha, yes exactly, it was such a sweet moment to witness as a viewer.
adorable
That 'Old' man.. is Michael Parkinson... very famous in the uk...
Has to be said but the forest daddy is one very deep soul.
“Forest daddy” lmaoooo😂
😅 He is forest daddy
i like how laid back this interview is, just a group of people in a conversation as though it wasn't taking place in a studio at all.
sui genereis it would probably be better to get rid of the audience altogether. The audience changes the dynamic of the interaction between the hosts and guest. It seems like they seek their approval and applause at times or that the audience wants something to applaud or laugh at and the hosts/guests are distracted in order to give it to them. To entertain the audience instead of just interviewing the guest I suppose is what I am getting at.
Refreshing to watch an interview with an entertainer that is serious and thoughtful and the interviewer allows the guest to think and speak without interrupting to rush him or make a joke or change the subject. Clearly interesting to lots of fans as the way he was raised informs his songs and the choices he makes as an artist. Wish we had more of those shows on this side of the water in north America.
"...stuck between the joy of childhood and(...) the joy of adulthood."
Such a positive way of talking about your teenage years
I love how everyone is just fully in love with him, I wonder if he knows😂😂😂
He’d probably blush if you told him. 💕
My gosh his v o i c e. I'm melting.
I would listen to him read a phone book
I've seen him in concert a few times, the accent is even better live
I absolutely love the chemistry between Hozier and old man guest; supportive and relative.
Nothing Nobody old man guest is one of the most famous journalist/chat show hosts in the UK
@@margaretmcgarry7796 Ha ha.. oh so funny seeing 'these people' call Our institution an 'old man' lol
Not everyone around the world is of your culture. They mean no disrespect.
How would one go about marrying this man and having his babies? Asking for a friend
난몰라 hi i am that friend
@@inirotimi Hello friend, I will report back to you when I hear word on how to execute this plan
Lol you guys remind me of my high school freshman skype group.
Step 1: Take a number and stand in line...
P.S: You'll be given further instructions when you reach the front of the line. This may take a couple of years
Zanele Mnguni this thread is killing me 🤣
He was lucky to be raised in the Quaker tradition, it probably helped to make him such a thoughtful, progressive person. Also, Quakers were the first, at least Christian sects, to believe women have the right to an education equal with men. Quakerism comes the closest to anything I would believe, but I'm not sure how well I would do with just sitting like they do during their meetings!
I have a lot of Quaker friends and I've always appreciated their open-minded nature and how they take time to listen to each other's thoughts and come to their own conclusions about the world. No doubt why they were abolitionists early on and supported gender equality even when it was not convenient or safe for them. I know that Quakers have always radically fought for justice no matter how hard it got. I have such an appreciation for them because I was raised Unitarian Universalist and UUs like to learn about other religions and philosophies, and each member of our churches is encouraged to search for their own meaning in the world and their own spiritual path. We each take inspiration from the belief systems and philosophies that ring true for us as individuals. I have UU friends who connect with both Buddhism and Wicca. There are atheists, including myself, who are humanists and find fulfillment in coming to our humanist groups or even just listening to the perspectives of others. And of course, people who connect most strongly to other belief systems like Christianity or Judaism. We, as people with varying beliefs, come together to learn from each other and experience the fulfillment of going to church, singing in the choir, sharing in a community, etc... without having to deal with the dogma and exclusion "us or them" politics we have found in so many churches, synagogues, mosques, etc... Which is not to say, that all religious communities are so narrowminded. I've definitely visited churches that fostered healthy communities and made me feel welcome despite my more agnostic mindset. It's just that it's been so difficult, especially in this time of division, to find a religious community that isn't pushing dogma. I am grateful for Quakers because they have, in my experience, always been welcoming and compassionate.
I was lucky enough to be raised Quaker and when I was younger I found sitting in silence for an hour quite difficult!! But now that I’m older I cherish the time when I get to just sit in silence and think for an hour a week! People think it would be hard to find things to think about but it’s a very cathartic experience once you actually sit down!
Janet Claire Burke I believe he is agnostic now, like most people from the similar background.
I would contemplate suicide sitting in silence with people whose company I'm impartial towards.
No matter if he's Catholic Quaker, (though to me he basically said he was not), atheist, agnostic DOESNT matter, although I believe, he didn't say it hes agnostic, HOWEVER it appears, in nursing we're TAUGHT NEVER to say appears lol, BUT it seems as though he's spiritual in a sense and hes taken away some beliefs from his Quaker up bringing, I'm no faith, BUT spiritual I believe w in each of us is a PIECE of what we know as God SOOOOOoo, to me ALL TOGETHER WE make what we know as God (No rude comments we're allowed to have opinions) but in my little world of spirituality if we all have a PIECE of "God" w in us WE ARE ALL EQUAL, WE ARE ALL THE SAME NO MATTER COLOR, CREED, SEXUALITY, OR OUR SEX, and so on. No matter he's an AMAZING soul and beautiful singer
He makes Quakerism sound amazing! As an agnostic it speaks to me in a way I would never have expected.
I don't know if you know her, Jessica Kellgren also talks about quakerism in this manner. I am an atheist and I also appreciated quakerism a lot for its philosophy, how it sees other people and its beliefs in regard to being a good person
I’m a Quaker and my home Quaker Meeting and one’s I’ve traveled to across the U.S. often have a good mix of people who identify as Christian, people believe as Jesus as their savior (but don’t ID as Christian), agnostic, atheist, and folks inbetween, as well as folks from other religions. We all come together to join in the silence and wait for messages to be shared.
Some weeks are hohum and others are quite beautiful and moving. But it’s always great to be together with Friends. If you’re interested, feel free to just show up at Meeting. Why not give it a try?
@@brittnar I really want to become a Quaker and attend a meeting, but there has only one group that ever existed in my country and they seem defunct now.
I've been trying to understand where this man's Enlightenment came from for so long. My own was through Hindu philosophy. "You're looking for the spark of the Divine in each person" is what I've been learning. I wasn't aware Quakers had these ideals, this is so beautiful thank you Hozier.
Literally Christianity is all about that idea.
No. I'm sorry to have to tell you this but Christianity is actually based in what one would consider a Messiah or Christ. It's Christ based, hence the name. Jesus Christ. 😂
@@liz090833 We are God, our Christ and Lords, children and carry the inheritage with us, within ourselves, so yes carry something divine within would you not say? Some would.
Funny part is; it seems quite some are living from/by the spark of one and nothing for that one.
There is a really great youtube channel called Quaker Speak that I recommend to anyone who would like to know more about Quakers, it is a very inclusive and diverse religion. And to address Flowerprincess's comment, the Quaker religion actually started as an offshoot from Christianity in the 17th century (Quakers have a very interesting history. They were viciously persecuted in England which led many Quakers to move to the American Colonies) and there are still Christian/evangelical Quakers (many are in Africa where they focus their missionary work). Unprogrammed Quakers are the non-evangelical sect which is what Hoziers parents are. :)
I liked how the old man is so interesting in hazier and how he looks at him
He's a great English interviewer himself - had his own show for decades, called "Parkinson".
He TRULY seems caring thoughtful and his purpose in interviewing WASN'T to bring "Hozier" down, and or demean who he is or his beliefs or spirituality he seems to TRULY care unlike a lot of interviewers/reporters
If you sign up to the SunLife programme, he'll send you a free pen
@@genghis26 bwahahahahaaaaa 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🖋️🖊️🖋️
Hazier
What an eloquent description, and with such a humble demeanor. I'm sure his Quaker background has influenced his thoughtfulness, which so deeply influences his music.
A beautiful man. Inside and out.
Great interview and interviewer. Nice to see a show where they are actually allowed to talk. Parkie couldn't help himself either, almost went back into interviewer mode himself. Great show.
I adore him. I hope to meet him one day.
Hasani Browne you and I both😪
I kinda met him yesterday so I’m binge watching all these videos😭 I hope you get to meet him. He is amazing
Veronica Goetz You’re so lucky😭
I love the way he eloquently speaks and thinks!
Loved this interview! So cool to see people have serious, thoughtful discussions in an interview like this. Also, I really appreciate how Hozier clearly puts thought and intention into his responses to each question
YES YES YES he's so well spoken obviously, no matter his "belief" now, he's taken away from his upbringing to be a genuine person very personable and caring I love that
He is deep and every time he looks up answering question..its like someone above there is giving him clues or something
tanu people usually looks up to remember, to ´´look´´ at they´re memories. not good at english hehe, but just saying
@@petrinekristiansen may be but I kind of find it fascinating
@@tanuthakur9295 yes you can, and he is
he strikes me as the kind of person who is always in deep thought, it’s interesting
tanu thakur when people look up they are trying to remember
There is a Quaker run place in Mexico City, part hotel where fees help Quakers help travelers in need, people needing a safe place. For example, a mom and her son coming from, I think Nicaragua, whew in a train accident and the son lost a foot. The Quakers gave them lodging, food, helped the husband travel to them and gave them the time and space to recover. Wonderful people.
Linda Martin wow 🙂 amazing!
They're wonderful people so thoughtful and caring, you can tell by his mannerisms and gestures hes held onto that
Some of the most caring and “others” centered people. In service to others, we are truly free.
Linda Martin
Has vuthe i
I wish they could read your comment - Casa de los Amigos is currently in a bit of administrative upheaval and are trying to push the Quakers out, which is quite baffling.
also to be quaker you don’t even really have to believe in god! just that every human has an inner goodness or ‘light’. many quakers use the word ‘good’ instead of god. i go to a quaker summer camp and it is my favourite place ever it’s so accepting and loving
Wow I always thought Quakers were on the “weird” end of the spectrum but they sound just as reasonable, if not MORE reasonable, than most religious sects?? I’m just realizing how little I actually understand about Quakers. I grew up Catholic and people around me always had misconceptions about I what it was like growing up in a Catholic household and I’m realizing I’m similarly ignorant to Quakers
I grew up attending a quaker camp also. I've reconnected with it as a young adult and it has brought a great deal of value into my life spiritually speaking.
This was such a great interview. You can tell Hozier felt a bit uncomfortable talking about himself, but who doesn't? I appreciate him giving thoughtful responses.
It's so nice how the others listened without interrupting and just let him speak. We desperately need this in USA! I'm so tired of TV personalities asking people questions and then not letting them answer.
This was a nice calm conversation. So refreshing.
Thanks so much for your feedback, we appreciate it!
Why is everyone calling Micheal Parkinson, "The Old Man", he is a broadcasting legend!
eamon kerrins They're just not aware of his fame in U.K., just shows how he's just an ageing human in the scheme of things
@@seabell475 He was great, I ony got to know him after the fact, but still enjoy watching his interviews. Talk shows can be pretty crappy these days. Graham Norton is great though!
ha ha. >He is an elderly man now.. But Really how can anyone call Michael Parkinson and 'Old Man' how dare they lol... Im with you
eamon kerrins most Americans don't have much exposure to him therefore don't know who he is.
Is he not an old man?.....if he was 20 yrs old and everyone referred to him as the young man...that would be ok.....lol.. whatever
Wonderful voice
He could read the shopping list and still sounds interesting
He's hosting a wonderful podcast ("Cry Power") where he's interviewing fellow artists who are changing the world for the better. If you liked this interview and his voice of course - I'm sure you'll love it!
@@fenja9600 thank you for this.... Will look that up pronto :) I love his attitude and his voice too.... Swoon 😍❤️💗♥️💖😊
His singing voice is even more magnificent!
He speaks like my grandmother who was from Wicklow - some very gentle and expressive people there, especially the older generations
Nice Dublin accent x
You try to look for God in each and every person ❤️ that’s so beautiful.
He is so handsome! Not sure if anyone else feels that way, and I don't mean just outwardly. It's like because of his thoughtfulness and humility, it makes his outer beauty so much more appealing. It's rare nowadays to see a physically handsome person be just as beautiful on the inside. It's so delightful to witness that!
Wow! How thoughtfully (educated) and genuine his answers are ... what an insight for me on Quakers because I never truly understood.
Intelligent and emotionally connected young man; I hope I can see how he continues in life ... being young, the time he has! To keep being him ... Being able to discuss things in such a way... I hope this way of communicating spreads and becomes the norm.
TRINITY COLLEGE education right there.
@@souloftheage His education was at Delgany National School & St Gerard's School. Studied music at Trinity Collage, his eduction was already done b4 Trinity Collage.
Pretty cool that he grew up a Quaker! I too was brought up Quaker and lived on a large farm 😊 People used to think I was Amish, lol! Unlike most religions they don't chastise you for not going to church all the time, and that it must be built in your heart. We studied and learned about other cultures and religions. God speaks through all, so no preacher just silence and reflection, and anyone could stand and speak. Also simplicity and that we are all equal in God's eyes ❤ I've always explained it as the least religious religion 😉
Krazee Diamond, I’m sorry if I offend you in any way. But perhaps you can educate me in this matter in this comment section? I would really like to learn more. I don’t want to go to google for I want to hear it from a real person with real experience in this.

@@nj7920 I've only been to a Quaker meeting once so far but I'd like to go back, and if you're interested in learning more about Quakerism, I recommend the youtube channel QuakerSpeak
@@nj7920 You should look at the youtube channel Quaker Speak. Quakers (aka the Society of Friends) is a very diverse religion. Krazeeis right that it is kind of the least religious religion. It has very few actual rules. The Quaker Speak youtube channel interviews different types of Quakers from different places about religious and cultural topics. I think you would find it helpful if you would like more info about Quakers :)
@@nj7920 Jessica Kellgren-Fozard also has quite a few videos on her Quakerism! In a few she explains her experience of religion and sexuality coinciding and her Quaker wedding to her wife etc. The sweetest couple with brilliant videos
What a beautiful and intelligent man. Love the set up of this talk show. Multiple generations having a respectful and open minded dialogue.
He sounds so smart when he talks 👏. I wish I had his accent
As an Irish (lapsed) Catholic it’s so interesting to hear Hozier talk about a different religion that most people in Ireland know nothing about, fascinating. He is a deep person and makes me envious of his upbringing, lucky.
I have the very same sentiments, coming from Ireland as well. It's super interesting. I remember from history class that the Quakers were among the most proactive in offering relief to the people of Ireland during the Famine, in the absence of state-sanctioned provisions from across the water, so it's certainly interesting to hear more about them and their pacifist ethos.
his parents raised him well
Oh my god I could listen to him talk about anything for hours 😍🤤
As a Quaker, he is a marvelous spokesperson. Thank you, Hozier. Adore you.
He's such a gentle soul! Your music is wonderful!
i was raised quaker too so this makes me so happy!!
Same!
This is such a great show, great host, great guests!
Thanks so much, Nancy! We appreciate the feedback 😄
What a wonderfully thoughtful man.
I’m deadly in love with this man...just wow...wow.
Ah, Skavlan... You are so good at this. What a treat to watch you interview a guest (especially when it's a talented and genuine artist like Hozier!), you set such a confortable, crisp and peaceful mood. You're present and supportive. It's quite something to behold! Thank you.
I thoroughly, and I mean thoroughly, thought he was Catholic.
I think you mean ''thoroughly''...
Maryann M lol thank u yes
@@representationmetaphorique lol
IKR!!! I thought I was a HOZIER fan but apparently not.
@Gaeoal Murdo 'Always' and 'Thoroughly' don't quite express the same thing in this context. It seems to mean 'I undoubtedly thought he was a Catholic', rather than just 'I always thought he was Catholic' because the apparent super fan wished to emphasize the strength of her knowledge about Hozier- though it was subsequently revealed to her in this video that her 'knowledge' was mere assumption. :P
I had no idea he was raised Quaker. My family has been Quaker for around 4 generations now at least? Possibly more? The thing he said about there being 'Gods light' in us all is so accurate. It follows the idea that everyone has at least some light, some link to God or just good, no matter how difficult it may be to find. There's a further saying that is used when a member of a Quaker Meeting is going through something trying or very sick, we say that we are 'Holding them in the Light'. Essentially holding them in Gods Light within our thoughts. Love being a Quaker despite being either Pagan or agnostic in my own beliefs. The Uk Quakers at least seem to have become more of a way of life in my generation given that I know Quakers belonging to several different religions (Islam to name one) or no religious beliefs at all
That is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing❤
All my life starting from the 70s all I knew about Quakers was they made really good oats. This young man has inspired me to read up on it and as an agnostic I am finding I agree with and like much of it.
0:14 0:59 the hair tuck...He’s a delicate soul, that one 😌
he doesn't deserve in this world. his place is somewhere else. gosh, how can someone so talented be underrated! i am talking about Hozier btw
Damini Datta Chowdhury He's not underrated, he's absolutely appreciated by the ones who understand. His music isn't for everyone, it's for gourmets ;)
Underrated? Why underrated? He is very successful and nobody denies his talent and the exceptionality of his voice. It seems to me the word "underrated" is used too often nowadays. I read it everywhere and rarely "a propos"
A beautiful person. Incredible musician.
the way he says "would have" instead of "was" ("I would have been raised Quaker" instead of "I was raised Quaker") is extremely unsettling to me. probably just an irish thing or smthng but it sounds like he's talking about his hypothetical life had he been raised by humans...
irritating right.... what really put me off was how slow he was. It took him ages to finish a sentence and he had to restart a couple times. :D I still love him but this kinda stuff makes me extremely impatient.
Yeah it's a bit of an irish thing
@@Sheytopia He's thinking...being pensive...people rush too much. Different strokes for different folks.
Sounds like he was only a Quaker as a child, perhaps not for very long at all.
whoah i never said it was annoying, i love the way he thinks and speaks and i was just kinda playing off the whole “is hozier an immortal being/raised by faeries” thing! and yeah that makes sense that it’s an irish thing
i feel presence and admiration of who this person is.
Imagine Aurora interviewing Hozier
oh my gah, it would be beautiful. Both seem very free spirited and look up equally as much when they speak.
Omggg I bet they would really like each other
😍😍😍
Everyone can and should look inside themselves and look for good in everyone
That’s why I admire Hozier the man and not just the brilliant musician. He is interesting, intelligent and has an incredible self awareness.
He's a very special person he speaks the truth some people refuse to heard:)
I just love him.... can't say ONE bad word about him.
Wow super lovely human, seeing his words affirmed and the adoring look in the old man’s eyes is so wonderful as well. 😘
He is so calm probably because he reflected alot growing up
He is an example of human being 💜✨👏🏻
Additionally, Hozier's personification of Religion/Spirituality (the song Foreigner's God):
She moved with shameless wonder
The perfect creature rarely seen
Since some liar brought the thunder
When the land was godless and free
Her eyes look sharp and steady
Into the empty parts of me
But still my heart is heavy
With the hate of some other man's beliefs
Always a well dressed fraud
Who wouldn't spare the rod
Never for me
Wondering who I copy
Mustering some tender charm
She feels no control of her body
She feels no safety in my arms
I've no language left to say it
But all I do is quake to her
Breaking if I try convey it
The broken love I make to her
All that I've been taught
And every word I've got
Is foreign to me
Screaming the name
Of a foreigner's God
The purest expression of grief
I'm so aware of Hozier's constant awareness of Michael Parkinson...super aware...and awesome...I have such a great respect for Hozier and his cultural and awareness and historic respect! Remarkable.
I love how open and honest he it.
He is enchanting.
Can't get enough of him. I love you, Andrew!
I'm no Christian, but I *did* flirt with it many years back and after growing up in the C of E and trying various denominations in my early 20s, the group that impressed me most were the Society of Friends/Quakers...they came across as wonderful people!
Wasteland, baby got me through the pandemic and its wild to me that he wrote it *before* it all! Its the perfect soundtrack
I'm a Muslim and I love Hozier 👼♥♥
samee :)
me too
Word
Zuya Zelon I'm glad. He's a lovable person, just as I assume you are :)
Good.... Is universal!
What is he looking at up there?... he's just so adorable, lol...
Mylinda Ogundipe God
this interview is epic 💓
His vocals give me chills...... I will listen to movement over and over
Very interesting interview and he seems like a nice guy. Respectful and insightful.
Is it common for the Irish to reminisce in the conditional mood?
Yes. We don't realise we're doing it.
True, the conditional tense is used much more in Hiberno English
Yes
@@peteymax less of the English!....
Beautiful. He's very well-spoken amd educated. Quakers are amazing. I attended The Meeting School in Rindge New Hampshire for my last two years of high school. It was a very moving experience with everyone. Now it's a self-sustaining community.
This mans music is amazing, I found him through the show "Empire" as its premiere trailer came out. Been a fan of his since.
There’s so few Quaker’s I’ve come across, but damn they are all so empathetic, ridiculously smart and true to themselves. It’s pretty amazing stuff!
😍 seeing hozier in September amazing artist
me too!
His hair omg 😍😍😍😍
To look into the mind and face of God...that is beautiful
His agnostic
I'm in love
Yep
I have really bad news. Your condition is permanent. 🤣😍😎
I could be his mom, and I have such a crush on him. Talented, beautiful and so articulated. Intelligent and kind.
A completely beautifully sacred concept. I love that song! It speaks for so many ❤
Going to see him in Hamburg in September, should be great
Had no idea but it makes sense. Love him :,)
Excellent Interview!
What a kind and thoughtful man.
The Quakers are amazing..... I watched a fantastic special of the Quaker Oats family and they were incredible with their generosity.
This was really good ,as always🙂. A pity that people are discourteous enough to address Sir Parkinson as 'old man' and not even 'elderly gentleman' ...🇮🇳
Ageism.Not cool.
Thoughtful person! I dont meet those anymore! Less ego; more thoughtfulness might just stop the doom!
He’s an amazing human and always himself…authentic 💙💙💙
great interview
He's pretty vague when he talks, still, at this little glimpse of him looks like a genuine nice guy who has honest reflections about spirituality and the people within it. Very pleased with this video.
I think the vagueness you refer to comes from him being very shy, self conscious and mildly socially awkward, and therefore he has trouble articulating his thoughts concisely in front of people, especially quite a big audience.
went to my first friend's meeting recently after returning home to care for my parents. it was very appealing. meditation. listening for your own 'god'. dude
His hands I'm in love with them and idk whyyyyyy
As a child I attended a Quaker elementary school, although I went to a Lutheran church on Sundays. Not as a brag but as a true observation, I believe the best parts of myself come from going to a Quaker school when I was young. We had this acronym called S.P.I.C.E, which included simplicity, peace, integrity, community and equality. I find that my patience, my desire for equity, my environmental impact, my musicianship, and my communication skills all came from there. I am not very religious now, however Hozier’s description of being a “friend in Christ” is still accurate and resonates with me to this day. If I ever have children, I would like to raise them Quaker to some degree because I believe it creates the most genuine and kind people.
Very thoughtful interview
Thoughtful, articulates concepts well. Refreshing…
Loved this and very interesting! Is there one with the performance?
Sounds like a beautiful sentiment - looking for the divine in everyone
I am a teacher and was raised a Roman Catholic, and I think he's so right: "The monotonous nightmare of school". Listen, teachers! And his criticism of a church that says "we are infallible because we say so". That's why I've also been going to church for a long time only for weddings and funerals, and for visiting beautiful buildings.
Thank you. No judgment and love . That's what I believe. See the good in people around you.
He is sooooo amazingly hot!!! 100% my ideal man. HE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Makes me feel crazy I am so taken aback by him. I mean like is he Jesus or something? I get in a trance. WOW
The estrogen in the room was palpable at the show I saw. There was even a bra thrown onstage.
