Yes, he is a bad boy.

I worry. Do you know how long he has been doing it for?
I've noticed after "Me Ol' Bamboo" he is VERY out of breath and it takes him a lot longer than it should to catch it.
Poor lungs. :/

Well, you know...I think I might have second hand smoke. :-/ I don't know yet. Just a small thread jack.
When I watched him sing Hair, afterwards, he was literally panting for like two minutes. Not cool! His chest was heaving, and I thought he was going to break.

Oh, jeez. There's clear proof that he doesn't need to smoke!

I'll never understand how he keeps his voice so clear through all of that junk.
You're killing yourself, E!
i think it's very strange that he smokes...after all our discussion about his passion and his dedication to his career...to do something that impacts your health but also impacts your ability to do your JOB? Not cool, Raúl. It just seems like he's not that kind of guy to do that. I don't know. It's wierd...sexy, but wierd.
I guess, as much of a cop-out as it may be to say this... it's pretty hard to quit.

Well, I don't know either...I mean, a lot of actors/actresses I know smoke. But, they manage to keep their voices clear! I don't know how they do it.
Thank god my friend David doesn't smoke. He'd be sort of...ruined. His voice wouldn't sound the same!

And maybe he simply can't quit right now. I know a lot of people get really anxious and sweaty and angry when they try to quit. That could hurt his performances. Maybe he will try when he has a lot of time off.
...wishful thinking?
Probably.
People try and try and try, and just have incredible difficulty doing it. They wish they could, but they say for many reasons, they just... can't.

Well, I hope he eats well and takes care of himself in other ways.
I don't want to think of an unhealthy or sick Raúl.
ha, yes, Emcee, I read EVERY SINGLE page. That's dedication.
BUT, I couldn't see ANY of the pictures. They were all just little red x's. And I reeeeally want to see the last one.
The HAIR video just made me incredibly sad. STOP SMOKING Raul!!!
You're craaazy!
But it was all so interesting! LOVE.
How is everybody?
Also, I would like to ask anyone on this thread who I may have hurt or offended or annoyed or ANYTHING to please forgive me. I don't think I have, but if I did, just let me know! Thanks.
We had some good discussion today, I think.
And good call, Elphie. Likewise. 'tis that time.

He needs a hug!
Wow, Elphie! Was there even anything worth reading? I seem to just ramble 90% of the time, anyway.
*Hugs him!*

Oh my god. That picture is adorable! And I've never seen it, which is probably a first!
smoking or not smoking he still has the sexiest voice ever!
i really wan to see him in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!
*hugs everybody!*
Actually, Stefanie, there was a lot of interesting stuff being said on this thread the last 2 days. And anything having to with Raul, I find interesting.

*hugs him too!*
Or...he could be saying...
"I'm king of the worldddddddd!"
I'm fine, Elphie.
