Enough people liked it back in the day to make it #1 in a variety of countries. I wouldn't buy it these days but it clearly did well enough. I think he has a good voice but he was part of the cheese machine which was Stock Aitken Waterman at the time. Same guys behind Bananarama and Kylie Minogue to name but a very few. You can tell one of their songs as soon as it starts no matter who is singing it. Total and utter cheese but they wrote and produced some of the highest selling songs over the decade and it is hard not to admire finding a formula and milking it for all the money possible.
