Jon McLaughlin's third studio album, "Forever If Ever," was released on September 6, 2011.

You're welcome, you too!

I went to see Jon back in 2009 and, aside from Gaga, it's hands down the best show I've ever been to.

This man's fingers as they fly across the piano... The weird losing-control possessed-by-the-music jerky body movements... SO frigging sexy.

This is quite possibly my favorite live performance of all time. Just look at his hands.

I liked his version of "Smash into you".

"Enchanted" introduced me to him; I've been a big fan ever since.

LOL I just posted this on the Kelly CLarkson - Stronger thread. Aww he thanked Kelly. He opened for her during the My December tour... it's nice to see that they're still friends and he appreciated touring with her. Great guy and I'm loving the album!!!

It really is! You should check out Forever If Ever then... hopefully the previews on iTunes are enough to convince you!

"My Girl Tonight" is quite possibly the most romantic song I've ever heard, EVER.

God, I totally agree with everything you just said. He oozes sex. And that video... Omgawwwwww.

I didn't realize there were so many fans here! I have the first two albums and the physical copy of this one is being shipped here. ;p

"Industry," "4 Years," "You Are The One I Love," "Throw My Love Around" and "Smack Into You" are standouts. I actually have the Beyonce mix already and although you wouldn't think they would mesh well together, it's excellent. I'm gonna try and make the Orlando leg of the tour. = )
