I am looking forward to giving my fingers a rest in world. I really don't play anything other than a younger more physically fit person with green eyes instead of my brown. Personally I am looking forward to the voice feature.... Even though I have a southern country boy drawl... I want to hear my friends and hope it will encourage everyone to be more his/herself.
