    Dear Will Young, I’ve loved you and your voice since ‘discovering’ you on Pop Idol all those years ago. You are blessed with an absolutely unique and amazing voice that sends chills down one’s spine. And so handsome! I wish you ever more success and please don’t stop singing! I’d love to be able to visit one of your next concerts. I’m currently feeling very sad and lonely. Have a Happy Christmas and an exciting new year 2023. God bless you and your orchestra.
    Love + hugs, Cris

Intelligent, humble, cute and talented don't usually all come together! Need a cold shower 😂❤
