^^^ Check out the page that I provide a link to and look where it says 2008 in country music.

God bless you and James always!!!

Holly
My dear, you should have said that it was a #1 country song in 2008.
You can apologize now.
God forgive you for your sins. Always!!!
From what I can see about James Otto he’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 can’t amount to much. A wannabe, a loser. Maybe that’s why JOSH identifies with him so strongly.
But I feel sorry for the bozo. He “mighta been a contendah…” if he didn’t have a stalker following him.
^^^ So far James has scored tow Grammy award nominations and has also been given a CMA and an ACM award for his songwriting.

I don’t have anything to be sorry about because I am not wrong. The song was #1 for two weeks and then went on to be the #1 country of 2008.

God bless you two and James always!!!

That’s being kind of hard on the poor guy. He’s a one-hit wonder, which I think rates higher than backup type singer. ![]()

Well said, Frank. Considering that one of my first posts a year ago was pitting you Haiku style, I could walk away today feeling like my SDMB has reached some closure and peace. ![]()
Congrats on your math gig, btw. ![]()
Exactly. He’s a one hit wonder who peaked five years ago. He was dumped by Warner Brothers. But nothing I’ve seen makes me think he deserves an albatross like Holly.
^^^ I still think that James is the best no matter who doesn’t think so.

God bless you and James always!!!

Holly
No my dear, it did not.
It charted #1 for a couple of weeks. There were many, many other songs that did the same that year. In fact, there were 25 of them. Mr. Otto’s song did not “go on to the the #1 country of 2008” 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.
May God forgive you for the sin of lying. You have broken one of His Commandments.
It sounds like you were doing the same thing you did in the RIP Mindy McCready thread. How do I put this nicely… (also, why put it nicely?) … unless you think we have lower standards over her, change your behavior instead of complaining that other people should have ignored you or can’t handle the truth.
^^^ I don’t mean to be rude, but all that I did was share my beliefs which is something that we all have the right to do. If anyone needs to change their behavior, it is everyone else here because obviously they don’t know the respectful way to respond to what they do not agree with from me.
Look at the page that I provide a link to. Look where it says country music in 2008. His song was named the #1 country song of 2008.

Are to believe JOSH, when she says James Otto told her he loved her? If he did, then he’s unfaithful to his wife, at least in his heart. Another strike against James. What a jerk.
^^^ How do you know that James meant them words in the unfaithful way?
God bless you and him always!!!

Holly
P.S. When you tell your friends and your family that you love them, does that mean that you are being unfaithful to your spouse? No.
Well, I tried.
He’s not your friend or family.
^^^ I am not related to him, no, but a friend? That is all up to him.

God bless you and James always!!!

Holly
With a friend like you, he won’t need enemies.
And if there is a complete and swift ignoring of moderator’s instructions, then what? :D:D:D
She’ll be…blessed.
