WOW! Just got home from the Verizon Center, and while we only heard two songs tonite, we couldn't have asked for anything more. It was such an honor to be there, to see you again, to hear you again. Brilliant performances! Bravo Mario!
Mario, Thanks so much for the add. I'm honored you accepted me as a myspace friend. Your voice, incredible! I listened Buongiorno Principessa over and over today. I love it! Can't wait to see you in concert. Love how your soul comes out through your voice. Amazing!
I attended the Sarah Brightman concert on Monday, 11/24 in Boston. It was a beautiful show. Your voice is sooo powerful. I was 7 rows from the front and you just filled the entire Boston Garden Arena. I wish you sang more songs though because I went there to see you, although I think Sarah is wonderful of course. Everyone sitting around me was blown away and saying Wow!! when you sang. And other people were commenting they wished you had sung a few more songs. I overheard a lot of people saying "who is that guy" so I did a little PR work for you!! :-) Anyway, I totally enjoyed the show and wish you all the best for the rest of your tour.
Also congratulations of your appointment of International Ambassador for the Horatio Alger Association. Its wonderful that you're working with kids in that way and being an inspiration and a role model. People like yourself that take the time to care about others can make such a difference in a kid's life.
Mario -- Your performance last night in Detroit was stupendous. From our vantage point, we could see the most of the audience. The applause began midway through the first duet and never stopped.
Hi Mario, Just wanted to drop you a quick note. I attended your performance on Oct. 30th at the Majestic in Boston. Thats the first time I've seen you perform in person and you did a spectacular job. You have great energy! I've been a fan for quite a few years so it was wonderful to see you. I was 10 rows from the front and you sang to me for a couple of minutes and gave me a big smile :D ! So thanks! I had a great time and will see you again sometime. Can't wait for the new album from all the shows you did in the spring! Good luck on your tour with Sarah Brightman. All the best, Deb
I hope you weren't nervous tonight... I know you WOWED the crowd!!! Know that I am with you in thought and saying prayers for your health and safety as you tour around with Sarah. I hope to see you in Los Angeles or Anaheim.

It's a pleasure to be part of your personal myspace. You and I met at Harvard U. Campus theater after your show. You were nice enough to grace the audience with a meet and greet. Through your website I met a wonderful woman who I've become friendly with and she and I were present as I explained to you upon meeting and you asked up both to join your new site. I can be your friend with control to hang with you but still love your style, singing, passion and good looks. And here I am afer looking and finally stumbling upon it. I'm so greatful.
Mario (not a come on) but now that you're in New York and if you ever want a friend to hang around with or show you some nice spots in an around Boston/NewYork and the Tri-state area - look me up. I'd love to sit in away from the world and sing with you - you're the musical geneous so your choice of song.
It was a privilege that being I had never expected meeting you, being an apprentice singer and I love your style and it's useful in my every day singing. Page two of searching "Mario Frangoulis" on youtube is a clip of me singing sometimes I dream.
Sometimes I do dream and my newest dream is to meet you in person again and become an acquaintance if not a friend.
My heart, my soul and my passion is behind your music. You're one of a kind and I hope you continue on in your musical life - I see no problem there.
Will attend your Boston Emerson performance at which time I hope to get to meet you again.
My best, A friend, You an inspiration, Michael from Boston!
Hi Thanks for accepting the add. Maybe one day we will perform together. Check back soon, I will be putting songs up once finished recording. Ciao Ben Antonio
