This is awful :( Stupid people :(

Even more stupid are the people who believed this fraud.

And to your Q: Of course you are, that goes without saying. Not needing something like this for that ;)

It's unbelievable how crazy some people are and how stupid the other!
If ever somebody comes to me and tries to tell me, he's you, I'd laugh at him, take my acoustic guitar and ask him to sing for me... :-)

Ik ben het al een paar keer tegengekomen en ik blijf het een hilarisch verhaal vinden! Misschien toch overwegen om signeerkaarten mét foto te lanceren. Dan kunnen mensen beter een gezicht plakken op je naam en je stem :-)

Must be annoying as hell to hear from such a thing. I mean, in the first place, he's been damaging Milow's reputation. Hope that all the victims have understood by now that it wasn't him. Was there even a physical resemblance between Jonathan and that guy?
What a crazy shit.

Yep, this sort of means you're a famous star:)If you've got your own impostor, a gang of fans/groupies (a slight assumption given the fact that possibly am turning into one myself)..

Anyway, am really impressed with what you did with a song not merely attractive to an average European ear. Now, it rocks. Honestly, I opened my eyes wide when I realised what the lyrics said in this innocent and soothing voice and music. Made my jaw drop. Honestly. I thought "whooooa, this guy is witty":)

Aaaaand, almost forgot, congrats on "the priest". Ayo technology made me dig in youtube (your work is new to most people in my country, apart from ayo..) and love it. Again - honestly.


Aaaand, almost forgot again - watched some English language interviews with you (see, am turning into a hysterical fan) - and must say I really dig your sense of humour.

ok, enough before I really turn into a hysterically-admiring-a-musician groupie.

good luck in all your endeavours

That does NOT mean you are famous!! Just means that you look pretty average so that any guy with a shaved head could obvious successfully pretend being Milow ;)) just kiddin you know you are unique!

Good evening,
my name is Blanca, i´m from Madrid, Spain and sincerely...i don´t read all your blog (i haven´t got time because it´s too late here in spain and tomorrow i must stay at 9 at the studio).
One day I listened at radio your voice. It was incredible but i´m very very bussy and i have not time to do anything; because of that i didn´t search for your name. But when i was in the car listening to the radio i always thought "please, the song with the angelical and captivating voice".
This week a friend gave me a compilation with the best music of the year and i heared the song....BUT WITH ANOTHER VOICE. So, today i went to youtube to try to discover WHO WAS THE MAN. And I watch you singing the song. Maybe you don´t believe me but I think you was a normal boy who sings in his house and take his own video and put it in the net.
After that I saw a lots of videos called "Milow". OH-OH Blanca ...he is a famous singer.
I´m very happy for meet you.
U have one of the most beautiful voices i have ever heard.

THANKS

and sorry for my english!!

Blanca.

Merci pour cette douceur... Merci de nous rappeller que la vie sans musique est bien fade. Merci de nous donner des émotions sincères. Merci!

well, I guess you're famous now. You're that cool song that we listen on the radio in Brazil or in Germany and for which we turn the volume up.
It was nice to check your blog and see that maybe you don't realize yet that you're totally global. :-)
