      That's pretty amazing Perez. Think of the power you have with your blog - think you should throw in a few more cause related blogs and champion global warming too.

      Perez, why don't you start your own label and sign these "unsigned" talents?? P.S I saw Brand and Angelina last night at the Toronto Inter. Film Fest. the hype outside the Elgin theatre was ridiculous as they shutdown the whole street. Brad and Ang were the best stars as they just dind't get out of their Audi and enter the theatre but they actually walked all the way down the street and back up to the theatre shaking hands with fans. Also some little girl got a little crushed against a barricade and 20 minutes later someone with a headset on was searching the crowd for her (probably at the request of brad and ang) P.S Matt Damon got out of his car and walked right in - the back of his head looked ok stooopid Matt Damon (ala Team America)

      It's so obvious this site and Perez Hilton get paid to say they like certain music or artists - has anyone realized that yet. This is nothing but a paid site, bought and paid for by the entertainment industry. The Perez that started out is no longer the Perez you see here.

      you are not the first person to hear of Eric, i've been a fan since he came to my school in 2005. i'm glad he's getting more exposure, but it makes me vomit the way you go about like you're singlehandedly responsible for his success.

    24. Ericfan! says – reply to this


      24

      Actually, NOT true at all… At least in this case. Erics friend emailed Perez just to see what he'd do and had nothing to do with publicity.

      yay perez awesome that you were able to do this for him!

      & ya know what Perez? No one fucking gives a shit! Who's Eric Hutchensens anyways? Yeah.. all I know is that he's extremely ugly.. judging by the picture! Update us on REAL celebrity news not stupid news about shitzo singers.

      37

      you give yourself way too much credit Perez….get over it and stop acting like you are some sort of music expert and as though you discovered this guy in some pool hall and turned him into a star….your so full of shit

      38

      WoW one NoD from Perez Hilton and you're on your way. LOVE IT!!! Now who are you backing in the presidential election? Hurry need an answer. J

    39. You're Stupid... says – reply to this


      39

      All you morons who think he sucks need to STFU. You're the same morons who think Britney's music is great. Perez didn't discover him, but he definitely did help get him into the limelight.

      He is sooo CUTE! And talented. I never heard of this guy until Perez Hilton…thanks Perez! Can't wait to go check him out live…I heard he's incredible.

      Perez it's called blowing up because thats how it happens fast and furious. This is the norm it isn't spectacular.
      He's a white boy this is how it is for them you should know that….
      If you weren't white and an ass kisser you wouldn't be on tv
      That's just the way it is

      Delurking here to say that while I absolutely do not "jump on the bandwagon" of Perez's music recommendations (his ravings for Mika, Britney, and Kylie being just a few of the reasons why), I had iTunes open when I read the recommendation on Eric Hutchinson. So I clicked through a few links and played through both his albums…and bought them on the spot. Then I followed a few more iTunes links recommending other artists based on the E Hutch purchase, and came away with 2 albums by Matt Nathanson and some singles by sara bareilles. Meiko, I'm still not loving full on yet, but we'll see.

      That's the way the cookie crumbles, folks. One celebrity endorsement can kick start a career–anyone remember Oprah and James Blunt? One endorsement can start the buzz, and once the sales begin, the whole process can have a snowball effect. This is a GOOD thing, especially if you make your living in a creative/artistic arena. It's awesome, and good on the performer and endorser both.

      Perez,
      I absolutely love you for championing this guy. I LOVED the tunes you posted of his and definitely agree he is someone who should be out there and getting listened to. You're the best for helping the small fella who deserves to get big.
      Love from Maine.

      This is the first one of Perez's picks that I actually like!
      (he's hot, too!)

      aw i think he's cute!

    46. idiotbrigade says – reply to this


      46

      jesus, assholes. he's not even signed. do you really think perez would get money to promote him? if that happened, it'd be someone backed by a label w/ lots of cash. think about how much perez could charge for that. duh.

    47. katelin says – reply to this


      47

      yay! i am definitely one of the people that checked him out after you recommended him and i even bought some of his songs on itunes. he has some great beats! congrats eric!

      This guy rocks! Wow…I went onto Perez to check out the Britney garbage and then discovered Eric! Perez…you do have great taste in music. And in response to some of the blogs…this guy deserves a shot! He's gonna BE HUGE! I'm gonna buy his album.
