Michael is in Critical Condition he needs all our prayers he's pretty sick. I love his voice he sound like Michael Bolton but better

Did he get better ????

"That's a superstars voice right there". Summed it up perfectly.

[@joeypalmer6490]

Easily one of the best voices of the last 30 years.

[@Harley57]

Joey Palmer Never have figured out how he didn’t become a huge star. One of the very best to ever be on AGT.

Maybe he should have been playing a ukulele..

[@lindytucker5106]

I just found this audition. Ur comment was up top and i thought before he began to sing that u were reaching. This guy has an incredible voice. Unfortunately great timeless voices like that arent valued in todays music. So unfortunate. With the right songs and writers he could have been a michael bolton or something equivalent. Either way he has an incredible voice

[@Aquarian2000]

He is absolutely incredible...that emotional crying voice, dressed in jeans, good looking and extremely likeable. He's a born superstar!

[@GENOBURRITO1]

Dude has a Michael Bolton sound to his voice. Very soulful

A bit of Jeff Buckley too.

I know this guy didn’t become a big success, but I love this performance. His voice was amazing.

[@kengamingd2438]

He had a really good run in Vegas or something along those lines. Dont actually remember the details right now, but it went for a long time as I recall. One would hope he saved, and is either trying to produce music himself for fun or just living the good life. :)

[@baddriver3580]

He cut two albums and plays a lot on the Mississippi coast , he is great 👍, just wish he'd made it bigger than he did. I have both of his early CD's 👍

[@AndySaenz]

Well, he won this season of AGT, got the $1 Million cash prize, released a few albums, and still tours across America performing music for everyone! So he did great!

No he’s still waiting to go 7 months later, cause people usually buy tickets like 2 years in advance for Vegas acts 🙄. Smh dork

[@johnriggs7994]

I remember sitting and watching this exact episode. When Michael started singing I got goosebumps/chills all over from hearing him sing. I've gone back through the years and rewatched as many of the video's of Michael on AGT that I can from time to time. His voice is one that I will absolutely love till my dying day. I actually have in my will for one of his songs to be played at my funeral. Keep on singing Michael because God has definitely blessed you with an amazing gift. God Bless you.

[@Ryan-zc1tz]

Dude comes out with the best voice we've ever heard on the show and Howie wants him to "step it up". Tf does he want him to do? Jumping jacks?

[@kengamingd2438]

Yeah thats why these shows never really made sense to me after only a couple seasons; and they make even less sense these days. Some of the "auditions" now on many talents shows are better then previous WINNERS on "got talent, X-factor, The Voice"

[@julieowen4030]

Agree…loved his first audition the best without all the hooplah Hollywood crap.

[@ronb67]

Yeah, Howie has to be annoyingly politically correct and pretend it needed to be better.

[@YoriSch5179]

Best performence in a talent show world wide!

[@victorberquez3254]

I think that the great Ray Charles would be giving that performance a tick of approval. Fantastic! Victor from Australia.

[@lornalewis6656]

It’s very sweet of him to say how much he wants to help his grandmother or grandparents and it just says how much he truly cares.

[@Kbb1957]

A special moment /performance in time. He nailed it!

[@maryannanderson7517]

The advice Howie gave Michael to "step it up" I think was a bit misguided. There are many of us who just love beautiful music and if we wanted to see someone strutting around on stage and going through all sorts of gyrations we would go to Vegas. I attended a George Jones concert and he said right up front that he hoped we didn't come expecting a lot of smoke and mirrors and wanting him to dance around. He said, "I just sing". Guess what. That's all we wanted him to do. Same thing with Michael Grimm. His voice is good enough that he doesn't have to do a bunch of garbage with it to get people to come and see him. I guess I worded that incorrectly. They wouldn't just come to SEE him. They would come to HEAR him. I hope Michael is playing much larger venues now and is making a good living and can help his grandma. What a genuinely nice man.

[@lorir.4034]

I AGREE. PS: Did you get to see that he was on America's Got Talent Jan 2020?

[@ben1NZL]

Exactly, that's where they lose a lot of good artists.

[@robertheinrichvonseyfenste267]

Howie is just a freak and knows nothing about music.

[@susantipton8686]

He could sit on a stool and sing all day long and I would listen. He is so talented.

[@jamesmcinnis208]

He qualified his advice by saying "next time" and that he wants to see artists evolve. I understand and agree with you; I don't need showmanship when there's plenty of talent. - but maybe HM believes that some versatility would be helpful to him in his career.

[@runneralpha6274]

I can so picture he and Stevie Ray Vaughn jamming together! Incredible talent!

[@kentaylor3319]

Hello Sharalee. How are you doing?

[@darrenheadrick3669]

Here's the thing with me, if an artist can sit in front of an audience of any size with "just his guitar and a stool" as Howie stated and captivate that audience then he or she is very talented. Where is it written that a musician has to have a massive band, so many stage lights flashimg that imduces siezures in the audiance, 1000 amps and speackers, half naked dancers and so many other things that it detracts from the artists performance. If I wanted to see something like that, I'd rather go to the circus. Some of the best concerts I've ever gone to were those with just the artist, a minimal back up band and his or her instrument and their voice. Just my opinion.

[@rebeccajones2974]

Said perfectly

[@shadrachamosraga3767]
