00:00Liam reminded me of myself. Very driven, loved to sing, had a passion for music, a passion
00:06for singing. Incredible voice, incredible talent for such a young kid that came from
00:11Wolverhampton, but yet he had so much soul. He had so much R&B and soul. It was beautiful.
00:19You could just see that he wanted it so bad. So, so bad. To be rejected in a show like
00:25The X Factor and come back again is not an easy thing to do. You have to build up a lot
00:28of courage. So, being that young, being solo and coming back that young and trying your
00:36best to change the outcome of the results that you had the last time is no mean feat.
00:44It just really goes to show his character, the passion he had for music and his talent.
00:53The reason why he got to where he got in the end and became a global superstar. It's
00:59even hard to even put that into words. But what I loved about Liam, let's say that. What
01:06I loved about Liam was, to me, every time I saw him he was like a little bro. He had
01:11a zest for life. He was funny, hilarious, kind, empathetic, loved to actually have a
01:20conversation of substance. So, what you see, I guess, on the outside is him just kind of
01:26being fun all the time and jokey all the time. But actually he had a really deep side. His
01:31soul was, he would take a lot on his shoulders and he was like an old soul in many ways.
01:40He loved music. He loved to sing. Great falsetto. So, yeah, I'm definitely going to remember
01:46him for the amazing singer, artist, and beautiful human being he was. My little bro.
