Dave,

I think Bruno has that "vulnerability" and "cry" in his voice, that reminds me of MJ, but, slightly less pronounced.

He looks like Michael did right after the first few surgeries, and before his face deteriorated and started to slide off.

Depending on what I'm trying to get across to the listener, I sometimes take the Tyros4's style down to drums and bass and (this is where the value of rootless chording comes in) play piano, or Electric piano in the left and do the melody in block chords, Bill Evans style.

Works great for a lot of Stevie Wonder tunes, as well as Jazz and Country...well, pretty much any style.

Then again, I love using styles that I've added lush string phrases (that actually play phrases) and other bits, and just do chords and melody.

That's the beauty of style mode and the arranger in general,...I can alter the song's feel and arrangement, in real time.

Arrangers are all about choices...they allow us the type of band we want to play in, the type of music they play, they also really sharpen up our timing, especially from coming from a solo piano (or guitar) background.
