But James gets a lot of grief. So huge support for him, while not necessarily controversial, is certainly welcomed.
I too love James' voice and think he is amazing. DT is my favorite band because of the emotion I feel listening to them, and the vocals are really a primary reason for that.
That said, I don't find anything remotely interesting about James' solo albums, so to me, it's really how he fits in with DT that shows what a perfect fit he is for them.
I know live he's hit and miss, but I think he has an overall pretty good track record, especially over the last dozen years. I've said that no band of this ilk asks so much of their singer in a live setting than DT.
