I Can

WE SAY

If you're British, you will know this artist very well, but we're keeping his identity a mystery for the time being. Post your guess on our messageboard. When we first heard this, we thought it should have been Lee Ryan's Christmas no 1 contender. A good voice, but more importantly, a vocal performance with genuine soul. And a quality song too.
