Vocalist

The Resume

    (circa 1973- )
    Resides in Queens, NY
    Birth name is James Delisco Beeks
    Named the winner of E!'s 'The Entertainer' hosted by Wayne Newton, eliminating 9 other contestants (April 3, 2005)

Why he might be annoying:

    He goes by a presumptuous single name.
    His name sounds like a cross between a deli and a disco.
    He won a 4th grade talent show by singing Michael Jackson's insipid 'Ben.'
    When he hit the final note of his song on the show he jumped high in the air, landed awkwardly and twisted his knee.
    After winning 'The Entertainer,' Wayne Newton handed him the winner's trophy, a golden microphone that was suspiciously phallic-looking.
    He is very spiritual and believes 'prayer is the best thing one can do for another.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was in an out of foster care until he was 5 when he grandmother took him.
    She had 11 others to care for and he felt 'invisible,' so singing became an outlet for him.
    He graduates Douglas Anderson School of the Arts (1990).
    He performed in Broadway musicals 'Aida,' 'Ragtime' and 'Smokey Joe's Cafe.'
    He has a 5 octave vocal range.
    He visits foster care facilities to give children talks of encouragement and hope from a personal perspective.
    After taping concluded he contractually kept secret he won from family and friends for over 3 months.
    Newton's summation: 'I've been in many audiences and I've never been so moved in such a short period of time as I was watching you tonight.'
    Most of the $1 million he won for his one year Las Vegas contract will go to cover production costs for his show.
