Why he might be annoying:

    He was into juice fasting. (‘No food. It cleans your whole system out.’)
    He was a one-hit wonder.
    His one hit basically rode on George Michael’s post-‘Faith’ coattails. (In addition to providing backing vocals, Michael also produced and co-wrote the song.)

Why he might not be annoying:

    He learned bass guitar from Motown legend James Jamerson.
    ’Heaven Help Me’ was a top five hit on Billboard’s pop, R&B, and adult contemporary charts.
