Roland Orzabal
Perhaps THE most underrated male vocalist of all-time, Roland Orzabal is one of the two founding members of the stupendous "New Wave/Pop-Rock" band Tears For Fears, along with Curt Smith. Tears For Fears made such hits as "Mad World," "Shout," "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," and "Sowing the Seeds of Love," as any 80's music fan knows.
What people may not know is that Mr. Orzabal continued to kick ass as Tears For Fears after Curt Smith's departure in 1991, with the albums "Elemental" (1993), "Raoul and the Kings of Spain" (1995), and the B-side collection album "Saturnine, Martial & Lunatic" (1996), all of which feature Orzabal's stupendous vocal range and criminally underrated guitar-playing.
Mr. Orzabal followed these up with a badass Electronic album, "Tomcats Screaming Outside" (2001), before reuniting with Curt Smith, and releasing yet another masterpiece "Everybody Loves a Happy Ending" (2004) as Tears For Fears, with Orzabal's signature wide-range vocals throughout.
30 years in the business, and lots of people still don't know who Roland Orzabal is. Now you know.

Ronanator
The name for dedicated fans of Ronan Parke.
A Ronanator is a person that is dedicated to the success of Ronan Parke and will support him no matter what. It's a person that will stick up for him when people are putting him down, whether its directly or indirectly. It's also a person that truly gets excited at any Ronan news that comes out, if its in a form of simply a tweet or a new song. And this bit is for me personally but, its also a person that wouldnt slander his name by releasing info that might be hurtful even if its about Ronan. It's just someone that will build him up no matter what and would never go at him in a negative manner like ever. Also blogging or tweeting and fanpaging about him contributes to it as well of course! Always joining in on conversations and polls and competitions to win Ronan stuff makes a Ronanator. Just being apart of his career and his life in a positive manner is what its all about. Putting him above the rest is also KEY ;)
