    Another lost Puddles hidden treasure... First time hearing him speak, and I'm impressed that he has the ability to keep silent when he clearly expresses himself so well.

    You seem to be not only a real person (I mean, sincere and down to earth) but an AMAZING performer. I can't wait to hear/see more.

    I haven't been as impressed with an Act/Singer perhaps ever! I absolutely love your schtick with Puddles. I wish I had something to do with entertainment other than being a Fan because you would be the client i would be most after. You are just fantastic. Thank you for sharing your unbelievable talent and I look forward to hearing your Golden Voice more and more as time goes by. I don't think I've ever seen your P. Otis on the web and know I haven't in person, but I have been following the Puddles Pity Party since first seeing it online in November. I share it everywhere I can and with 8 brothers and sisters and my wife having the same it got out to the Philippines, Netherlands, Germany and here in Florida, Maryland and Virginia at least from us I don't write personal stuff as a Fan and am getting old so you moved my old self with that voice to finally do it. Really, thank you for sharing your Talent with us all. Merry Christmas or just Happy Holidays if you are so inclined. Sorry to gush and all. I'll slink away now, .

    Hey Big Mike! I found myself watching you has Puddles on AGT 2017! Loving your audition & each song after that! After I watched you sing Royals on AGT? Never before had I heard that song before until you sang it! I couldn't get that song out my head! So I went to look up the original artist of the song Royals & watched Lorde sing her song Royals. Not to put the artist down for her singing whatsoever here. In my opinion Big Mike? Your version of Royals from AGT when you sang it? I absolutely loved! I love the songs lyrics! I have a lot of respect for Lorde, writing such a great song! But because of you Big Mike? Just about each day, I have to watch you sing Royals! You play a great Character has Puddles & your shows on RUclips has Puddles I watch clips of here & there are so funny & brilliantly done! You're Truly Blessed by God with a Great Singing Voice XO

    I'm from the UK and I don't think this guy fully understands just how popular Puddles is. I listen to Puddles all the time and thought I was unusual until I heard someone else at work mention him and then a few days later out of the blue a friend did the same. Time for a UK tour Mike?
