Actually it isn't because the reason why I say "most" is because of the fact that I do have other favorite singers.

Absolutely. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've gotten you and Skinny mixed up.
I'll be like "wait whose chart was it I wanted to visit to see which solo Wu-Tang album is the best?" and then I'll go back and forth between JO's chart and Skinny's chart and I just really get confused, it's like looking at twins (like Arnold Schwartzenegger and Danny DeVito, remember?)
Most of the time when they talk, I just imagine the same person really. I'll just be like "Who was it that wrote that interesting comment about the resurgence of the West Coast in modern-day hip-hop?" and half that time I'll say "Oh right, that was JOS" and I'll be totally wrong.
This happens like, at least two or three times a week. It's nuts.
I'm sorry.
God bless you two and James and my other favorite singers always!!!

Actually, he is correct, the most is grammatically redundant. Saying "my favorite singer" still suggests that you have other singers but James you just prefer to the rest.
