From what I can see about James Otto heโ€™s a backup type singer, C-list ranking, or possibly, at the very best, a low B list type. We Dopers are an eclectic group, having many and varied interests. For absolutely one of us, pre-JOSH, to have heard of this person, means he canโ€™t amount to much. A wannabe, a loser. Maybe thatโ€™s why JOSH identifies with him so strongly. But I feel sorry for the bozo. He โ€œmighta been a contendahโ€ฆโ€ if he didnโ€™t have a stalker following him. ---

Heโ€™s a one hit wonder who peaked five years ago. He was dumped by Warner Brothers. But nothing Iโ€™ve seen makes me think he deserves an albatross like Holly. ---

There were many, many other songs that did the same that year. In fact, there were 25 of them. Mr. Ottoโ€™s song did not โ€œgo on to the the #1 country of 2008โ€ It was one of 25 that were at the #1 spot for a couple of weeks. You are incorrect. You are mistaken. You are lying.

How do I put this nicelyโ€ฆ (also, why put it nicely?) โ€ฆ unless you think we have lower standards over her, change your behavior instead of complaining that other people should have ignored you or canโ€™t handle the truth. ---

Are to believe JOSH, when she says James Otto told her he loved her? If he did, then heโ€™s unfaithful to his wife, at least in his heart. Another strike against James. What a jerk. ---
