They have done a really good job at figuring out that Enrique has what they call a "cry" in his singing voice,and they have gone to the bank with that.For the types of songs these 2 sing,I think he has a built in advantage there.The reason your guy isn't known much here is more about the songs though.Let's face it..Marc Anthony has made money here with some decent songs(he has very mediocre tone.....your guy there is a lot better than Anthony.)I don't know if your guy is singing in English anyways.Regardless...........he needs better songs.So does the Badboy I wrote about above.He has 1 song on that album("Deeper.")The others aren't important commercially.Your guy needs better songs(they are o.k.,but nothing that could be a crossover.)On the other hand ,we know about ENRIQUE IG. because he has commercial songs.He,or somebody he works with writes songs that sell albums.They know what their audience likes.This guy Nelson has written a decent song.It is somewhat commercially viable.That video will get some play on a Music Video Station here.No matter how good or bad his voice is,if he didn't write a good melody in the verse of that "deeper" song,then his album wouldn't sell half as much as it will.

I was more referring to what you considered a sexy voice... Enrique's voice doesn't turn me on, Fonsi's does. He could be singing me the ABC's and I'd be turned on.
