I had heard a couple of Jim Verraros's songs on the internet and loved them, so I ordered the CD without a second thought. I was very pleased with nearly the entire collection. There is really only one song on the album that I don't enjoy. The rest are excellent. Very fun, extremely hot, sexy, beautiful music. I was a litle nervouse about how good it would be. I tend to be a harsher critic of artist who are in the family, I expect more. Jim delievered. You're not going to find a bunch of songs dealing with how hard it is to be gay, coming out, descrimination, yada, yada, yada. This music if simply fun, enjoyable, and celebrates being who you are and enjoying it, embrasing it, and flaunting it. Finally! Thank you Jim! Not only that, but the music is qualtiy. You can completely rock out to it. The slower, softer songs are equally as pleasing. Can't brag enough, and I can't wait to hear what Jim has in store for us next!

...openly gay pop superstar!!! Jim Verraros proves on this CD that he has what it takes to become just that. Hot sexy songs (which he co-wrote!) performed by a young man who most definitely has "it" to spare. I became aware of Jim when he was on the first American Idol (and the only finalist to have to guts to come out while who knows how many others cowered in the closet). After reading a recent interview in The Advocate, I went directly online and pre-ordered Rollercoaster. A couple of listenings confirmed what a talent Jim is, and reading all the other raves here at Amazon proves to me that I'm not the only one to realize this. Praise and admiration to Jim for being a gay hero--and one whose talent and charisma and sexy good looks and...thoughtfulness (just read his truly heartwarming Thank-you's in the liner notes and you'll see what a sweetie he must be) should, if there's any justice in this world, lead to a great and lengthy career. Way to go Jim!

I just happened to be checking out Amazon a little while ago. I didnt know anything about Jim. About him being an openly gay singer or any of that, only that he'd been on American Idol. I do know however after listening to his cd. That he's got one more fan in me. I'm digging everything about this cd. From the first song "Move" to "I Want You and back to "Forbidden Love". It is plainly obvious that "J" has got what it takes to not only survive in the music biz, but to have a very successful and awesome career.

I wish more folks could have more backbone in the music business and just be up front about themselves (so to speak). It takes guts to do that and for that alone. I'm supporting Jim in his career in the music/acting business. Enough of that, get "Rollercoaster" it is a little different and all that. But take a listen or two and you'll be digging this CD and all it has to offer.

Best of luck, Jim in the future. I'm with you.

thats how i feel
