you either love or hate him..
& yes he is alternative, his album says so!
some of his songs i find ok once they kick in, I'm Not Alone is good once it gets into it, Flashback & Dance Wiv Me Ft. Dizzee Rascal is alright aswell

im interested wither the population of MB mostly hate him or not haha!
his album name is 'Ready for the weekend' if anyone is interested
