[@michaelakoskovick3]

His mother is sooo proud. ❤❤❤

[@andrewa.3304]

He is winning it all the way!

[@jjharrison291]

I love how natural he is! Absolutely a star. I love when ‘regular’ people come on this show so humble, not even realizing how good they are.

[@AnitoniFinau]

That reggae drop 😎

[@robertantonnyc]

His voice is back, lot smoother now, but still has that bite. Love how he tapped into this emotion, a little tremolo is his delivery then switched up the tempo. Very clever. Will be listening to this again and again.

[@jrbland18]

SOMEONE GET THIS GUY IN THE STUDIO. START RECORDING HIM NOW❤❤❤❤❤❤I LOVE HIS VOICE ❤

[@TheDevBhag]

I'm not even worried about him winning. I KNOW I'm going to be hearing his stuff soon. Willing to bet so many artists are already DM-ing him for collabs.

[@aleroogoru7150]

Yaaay!!! Tems would definitely be proud 🇳🇬

[@jhhayes7241]

He’s been consistent, and this performance I really felt the raw emotion. His stage presence was perfect and commanding. Another solid vocal.
