I'm glad he's not hiding who he is but I thought the video of Leave Your Lover was somewhat ambiguous and not nearly as overt as some people seem to think it is. Still, it's a step in the right direction and will the ambiguity will make it more digestable to the U.S. audience.

Well it is until the end. That was the cool thing about IMO. It's like a movie with a nice little twist. You would have to be pretty damn dumb to think he's talking about the woman by the end of the video.
EDIT: Especially since he's saying it's about the man in interviews.He's out and he's taking over the U.S..

Maybe, but he's getting a shit load of press and his album and single are tearing up the charts right now. Hell, he was on SNL before his debut album was released here in the U.S..
And the wounded skies above say it's much too late

I'm listening to the album now and it's a fine album. Nothing original or groundbreaking, but he has a great voice and he writes some really good songs. I'm guessing it will get a Grammy nomination for album of the year because it's solid and it will connect with a lot of people like Adele's album did.

WOW! A pretty good first week (169,275 copies) for this super talented 22 year old singer/songwriter.
