It's a hit regardless who cares that's why they are called recording artists

Agreed. Ideally the lead vocal is taken care of by two Tommy Richmans, one for each octave, and backing singers for the layers. Being real obvs there can only be one Tommy. But man this could sound so good if there were enough actual vocalist to recreate all that texture.

[@CR00K__Gaming]

Feel just like yesterday we were riding our bicycles down the street to the corner store and now he's on Jimmy Kimmel. This is insane.
