Thanks to Mario's Official online Team for this fan encoutner. here it is
This is from Shannon who attended the Los Angeles Show Case
Last night was so much fun. I almost passed out but that's ok. First I'm the only fool in the very front singing all the words to every song. So when he's doing "Braid My Hair" I start screaming like I had just lost my mind right. That Just happens to be my favorite. The first time I heard him do that song I was just standing there completely captured. And luckily for me he ended up having to do that (and all the other songs) over again that night. Any way....he gets to my favorite part in "Braid My Hair" you know that part that starts off "Do what u wanna do...." Why he come stand right in front of me, look down at me and start singing. Whew!!! I'm standing there thinking like "Boy if I was 5 years younger it would be on" LOL. That was the second song he did. he opened up with "C'mon" which makes u just wanna get up and dance. Then after "Braid My Hair" he did "What Your Name Is" And then...the song that has solidified his place in music history "Just A Friend." That song is hot. Man the first time I heard that song I was tripping like "hey who is this." Then the incomparable Mr. Clive Davis gets on stage for the second time. He gives this speech about his Grammy party this year and how he asked Mario to do this one song. What he said had me ready to cry, and I didn't even know what song he was about to sing. He just spoke of him in such a way that you couldn't help but be touched. So Mario finally starts singing the song and I (again) am ready to fall out. "Knocks Me Off My Feet" Has long been one of my favorite songs. Mario has this voice that just captures you no matter what he's singing. I mean he could sing "Mary had a little Lamb" and it would make u wanna get up and go find you a lamb.
