Well, the Talia I found on iTunes is an acoustic jazz vocalist. Very pretty. But I did find another album I liked so I downloaded that (Rodrigo y Gabriela, a Latino, flamenco guitar stuff). The Rodrigo group is awesome. I heard them playing at Barnes & Noble and had to go ask who it was. I love the album. There are some what I believe to be Latin-flamenco standards but then they also give you a sample of the kind of work they did when they were in metal groups and it's good, too. I'm surprised to find someone here who's heard of them. But then maybe I'm so out of it I just think they're a bit obscure. |

Based on what you guys said, I've just listened to the sample songs on iTunes and am now dowloading the full album - it's fantastic music, I really like what I've heard so far. So thanks for the tip. ok.. I'm going to change my statement from "I really like what I've heard so far" to "this stuff is absolutely amazing". Wow, these two are billiant musicians. Doing a running commentary here for you, but these guys are doing a show at the Hammersmith Apollo on 9th December and I was all set to buy tickets until I realised I had another show on the same night. Gutted. |

Apparently their album went to number 1 in Ireland and one of my friends saw them at the V Festival last month.

They must have gotten the "Michael bump" pretty quickly.

Is the album "Waltz for Talia" by Jon Raney? There wasn't an album picture shown for it and it was the only one without one when I searched, "Talia." Wait, here it is: audiolunchbox.com/album?a=72933If I could meet him during shopping...  I'd probably freak out if I saw him; Not in front of him, I'd be embaressed, but at a distance, maybe silently screaming inside my head and smiling like crazy or laughing or most likely second-guessing myself and thinking that it couldn't be him, that it's just someone who looks like him, I'd be too surreal. I wouldn't have the nerve to go up to him, not even to write a letter; I'm surprised that he answers fan's letters. I thought he'd have someone else do that for him because he gets a lot. but then the dvd will be out soon, well saying in a few months rofl. and will have extra ben bits and him commentating omg sophie will have more sounds to make WHOOO Now, that's something to look forward to: His comments on the DVD. Michael Emerson said in a radio interview back in May that he's on the audio commentary on "The Man Behind The Curtain;" I hope he did more. |

Hi, I see your point of view! Edith: disecting this poor guy to the minute detail is a well done reply. I remember Michael`s statement in that Hawaii forum on stage in front of public, he said..... asked for the press "I have no paparazzi" this was in 2006. Meanwhile everything has changed, not for the better I suppose. We see him in that CD shop, looking like everyone else, having few time for shopping, without the right clothes or make up for the ladies, you know what I mean. For me he doesn`t look happy to pose for that picture, like other new pictures. too. In the beginning of LOST he was always smiling, with a joke on his lips, meanwhile I see a man who is on edge. Of course he will stay with LOST and works with the press, but something has changed. My personal reason to believe that have consequences for example with losing weight,nevertheless it could be an order by the producers.too. I only know his man enjoys a good meal!! He is a mild manner man in his own words, perhaps this is the reason not drawing the outline of others. Perhaps I`m wrong everything I hope is, that HE is happy.greetings Martina |

Those are hungry and wild animals who pursue the actor everywhere, taking the actor's pictures by the second. The actor is blinded by the flashlight bulbs bursting in his or her eyes. This photo was a small nothing. The author is a blogger. A person as anonymous as you and I. It was more like a fan seeing him and asking for a photo. He is smiling. Michael tends to smirk. That's his signature smile. As far as weight loss, I don't think that Michael lost that much. I may have been to hard physical work that he has to undergo. I doubt that the producers of LOST told him to lose weight. LOST is not that type of show. It may have been that his doctor told him to lose the weight. We just don't know. |

Hi,
I hope you are right and I´m wrong, nothing is so much the worse losing weight by stress!
He is sensitive enough to be vulnerable by this.
nice Sunday dear Edith
greetings Martina

One other thing about the paparazzi is that things are not always as they appear. Perhaps the Princess of Wales, the Kennedys and some others couldn't avoid them, but some other stars feed off the shooters, calling them to tell them where they'll be. And the shooters feed off that, and the public eats it all up.
I think Michael's "stardom" will be a very limited rise, and I don't mean any ill will by this. He's not cookie-cutter famous. He's too complex to fit the vapid celebrity scene. I think he will find a niche above where he was before lost but well below mad fame but well known enough so we can enjoy his work.
But I do think the pressure was on to lose weight, even if no one told him to. It's always there if you're in the public eye. I think he looks great now with the pounds off, but I liked him just as much the way he was. As someone carrying too much weight, I can hardly criticize anyway. I salute him.

Hi dear mysthicfeline, just as well I hope you are right. Wish your "he will find a niche above where he was before" does function. Yes of course he is complex, but (perhaps) it´s not his decision to be in the paparazzi focus. Perhaps I see the ghost of Hamlet`s father I will always like the way Michael does his job. as if like a few pounds too much or the small version of Woody Allen, but I prefer the emotional balanced Michael, what ever this mean to him and the way he looks.
