    ok on the first song why is he leaving a message when the operator clearly said the number could not be completed as dialed…song is ok…sounds like all the other Brandy songs that have leaked on the net over the years

    I love Aaron! One of my favorite male vocalist. I wonder why he’s transitioning from gospel to R&B? Nonetheless, I look forward to hearing more from Aaron.

    I would much rather hear Boys 2 men sing their own song. Nothing special about him . He should stay behind the scenes and continue to write.

    I Think this is refreshing and new as well. I think he was good in GA but everything has its season and life is about progression. Much respect and support over here. Just knowing the fact that you can perform, write and sing makes you a triple threat. Never know what the future holds but I definitely see you have a bright future on your journey. Constructive Criticism is cool and all but don’t always believe the hype with negative stuff. Keep doing your thing and hustling hard you will see a lot of scared people pointing the fingers on why this and why that..but honestly we’re just getting to know you as Aaron Camper the artist and not of GA! Keep the tunes coming I know it will get better.

    Wasn’t Second Thought just Brandy’s song? I’ve heard this before, but he sounds good I like it with the two of them. I like his voice but not his version of Water Runs Dry.

    honestly… i’m not blown away but maybe he just needs more work. he kind of reminds me of a male brandy. he has the same type of vocals as she does and idk people tend to underestimate her but her voice is amazing(!) so maybe i’m being too quick to judge

    Aaron Camper is no stranger to music period..Heard him sing with Tye and G.A and he was REALLY good..now he’s in R&B (finally) lol and he sounds really good here too..I think we need more male R&B singers now because there’s not a lot of them that has his voice it’s different and we need this in the industry so aaron keep doing what your doing and never give up nor give in I like to see you go really far..and the two songs you did were good! I’ll keep supporting!!

    I like ‘Second thought’, very mellow relaxing vibe. Second Thought is an unreleased track of Brandy’s from 2008. Aaron must be a Brandy fan, his runs and vocals are similar to hers. Love it.

    ‘Water Runs dry’ is a good remake. Nice song as well. I’m downloading.

    Hey

    I want to hear HIS music, not covers of recent music. By recent I mean I was born when the songs came out. So what, you can sing. Use the voice to sing your own stuff. Do something original. How can you set yourself apart doing covers?

    vocals are just ok to me, but you know I’ll take him any day over Trey at least this guy can actually sing and not sound like he’s singing through a fan.

    He has an Okay voice. I rather listen to Boyz to Mens version of water Runs Dry though. But for the new kids who dont know that one, im sure they will like this.

    LOVE it HANDS Down, I would buy the album without hesitation. I played it, thinking I would not like it.. BUT I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE his voice.
    And I love Brandy’s voice… so I hope they continue to work together.

    I don’t know nothing about his gospel work, but this boy has a voice, that’s a blessing from GOD, without effort.

    I see aarons fans are hitting this up.. I have to hear more before I make a decision. The cover was ok if you’re going to do a cover of a song you have to out do the original singers. And nobodys out singing boyz2men just ain’t happening. But his voice does sound better than Trey Songz so I’ll give him that but to put him in a league with gospel sangers (thats right I said sangers) just seems unfair. It doesn’t sound like he has the power to compete with them.. But I’ll be listening for more

      I don’t think you’ve heard him sing live and on gospel records. He has excellent vocal ability and he CAN be put in a league of gospel sangers, lol. But I do think that R&B limits his voice a little, but he still got the IT factor! Keep it up Aaron!

    This boy should be thanking his lucky stars for pro-tools and vocal synthesizers. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? What are you listening to? He may be able to carry a note but this boy cannot sing!!!

    HE WILL GO FAR. HE’S A GREAT SINGER AND ARTIST. HE HAS THE ABILITY TO COMMAND HIS STAGE AND AUDIENCE. GET READY PEOPLE HE IS GOING TO BLOW YOUR MIND. HE WRITES,SINGS AND PERFORMS HIS OWN MUSIC AS WELL AS ANYBODY ELSE MUSIC. THAT’S #1 IN MY BOOK.

    I wish Aaron the best of luck in this competitive, cut throat industry! Aaron brings amazing vocals, good looks, a winning personality, a sense of style and incredible charm. Not to mention the kid is blessed, which is why he can easily transition from genre to genre. You can sing any style you want with God in your life and in your heart and Aaron sings any style well! Both tracks are amazing! I love that he shows that he can compliment a seasoned artist on a track as well as be as vocally diverse in a tune originally done by a group. Aaron gets my vote! He’s gonna go far!

    I Remember going to the same Church with Aaron.. Seem Like yesterday when I heard him sing for the first time Boyz ll Men ” Thank You”.. After that I knew he Had It. Im Sooooooooo Proud of you slim.. Most of all I never thought you would of crossed over from Gospel to secular! but hey 2 each is own. All I can say is Only God Can Judge you and you have my blessing. Now Gettin to the Water Runs Dry track is cool BUT that joint wit Brandy is STRAIGHT LIKE THAT! and I DONT CARE who dont agree with me! Aaron KEEP following your dream. You only live once and YOU HAVE IT! Stamp It! I’ll have the whole DMV ( District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia) chasing after U! Much Luv

    His voice is tolerable but he ruined Second Thought for me. I’ve had that song for almost two years and he just shitted on it. Not a good look, sir. Didn’t listen to the other song because I never liked that song.
