The thought brings out an easy laugh and somewhat shyly, he admits; "I do have La Traviata on my iPod - with Placido Domingo playing Alfredo."

Not that he'd ever admit to it publicly given the way Shawn already rails on his nerdery (despite being just as geeky in different subjects) - and it seems kind of odd nestled in with 80s hits, R&B classics and the odd pop song.

After a moment, he allows himself to push a little further and suggests; "I'd love to hear you sing sometime."
