Do They Sound As Good As They Look?

Jamie Walters

What they're about
Boston-born teen idol's TV show The Heights yielded a hit song, "How Do You Talk To An Angel." His self-titled debut was a hit; his second cd comes out this spring.

What you see
A pretty, pouty-mouthed boy-next-door whom a generation of television fans--Beverly Hills, 90210 viewers-tune in to see week after week.

What you hear
Jamie does Bryan Adams-esque power ballads well, and comes off both smooth and sincere. But he's a long way from his proclaimed influences: hard-core, punk rock, thrash metal
