The guy auditions with a song he wrote the day before, at the request of one of the judges, doesn't get a chance to play the song he prepared - and goes through to Hollywood. That's some talent.

[@TheRealMafoo]

You think that wasn't scripted? Nothing about this show is real. I was in NYC when they came through years ago on one of those "going home" weekends, and they just found a crowd, handed out signs that looked hand made to random people, and made it look like they had a ton of fans show up. It's all fake.

[@joncardoza7257]

Pure talent

[@amyinez6257]

TOO TRUE MAN

[@thumper7047]

IKR?!? HE got along with them as if they were just (excuse the Mr. Rogers), people from his neighborhood. Some have an ego and think they are better than the stars, some get nervous, and a little star struck, he just was like he was talking to some people he just met at a bar on karaoke night. LOL I really did like that song, I like the hook or chorus or whatever it was. I would love to know what else he has.

[@angeloangelides713]

He was so cool. Never got flustered. Did what he had to do. Hollywood here he comes

[@Qasim6]

"A Real artist". He made his mind from early age about what he is going to do. Good luck for his already bright future.

[@cbviau1332]

I really like him. He's one of a kind in all arenas of life. I like his voice: mellow.

[@JohnHF1957]

"best panel of judges in the world today" is a bit much. Have you seen every other talent show panel from around the world to be able to make such a categorical comment? No. Then don't get carried away. The "God given gift" is fantasy crap, the talent totally belongs to him, it is not granted by any mythical entity.

[@newdimension4731]

he's got the 70's look! Peace and Love. Like his music

[@richardsibilski9866]

Just what Idol needs. Genuine, geeky but super talented. He has put in his miles and now hopefully will reap the benefits.

[@troye.1309]

She didn't say he sounded like Elton John. She commented that he writes lyrics/songs like Elton John, Billy Joel.

[@danilobojos5245]

It’s heartwarming to notice how the 3-judges appreciates the zeal of this young fellow and kind of jealous of what he had put-up at such a young age. Way to go people!
