Add in a lot of stuff with him having pure genuine interactions with fans and it's pretty obvious he's not just good, he's needed.

As a person who just saw him in concert, and then see this released, this is the real deal. His voice is stretched to the limits right now, and Bob is not using auto tune on his mic or the background vocals as far as I can tell. That vibrato he has is really actually crazy. Is it perfect? No. Is it a real band of rockstars and some of the best talent in the world? Yes.

Notice how every time the other musicians came in, his voice seemed to start “trusting itself”. A little more confidence each time no matter how worn he might have been from tour.
