James hit an extremely powerful A5 at the end of Build Me Up, Break Me Down in Montreal, a couple of weeks ago! Incredible note  :hefdaddy

I'm not that impressed by his high notes lately, mainly because they're just high screams. I won't dare to go into head voice/falset discussions here, but despite it's great that he has the control to screech out a F#5, it's not as impressive as singing a F#5. (Just listen to the notes leading up to the F#5, all off key and to high to control for him)

Apart from that, his best album is Winter Rose. It just is, those live demo's are insane, but the album is very impressive too.

I love the F# at the end of ACOS 93, which should definitely be in that wonderful collection Implode posted.

Anyway, his most impressive live moment still remains this one. Those amazing Gs...
WOAH!

So beautiful.

I also love O Holy Night that James does. Honestly, I really wish he would have put out an album of Christmas songs. His voice is just so beautiful. He really comes alive as a vocalist in the acoustic setting (to me at least).
