This is a very difficult song to get right. It's gentle, yet powerful. Tranquil, yet violent. Jubilant, yet sad. The kid did a phenomenal job conveying all of it.

[@rajennaidoo7]

Well expressed sentiments! Life is indeed full of paradoxes.

[@jm844]

Every time Iam sings , I ball like a baby, No other artist has ever brought me to tears like this. Im a single father of two healthy young men and I'm 54 . this artist is a gift to us all from God. I am a fan of Iams for all my life.

[@THERAVENFORCE123]

Agreed. His music hits me in ways that most artists can’t. Excited to see his journey.

[@richieneal2555]

I don’t know why many say the show was rigged! This kid embodies everything that is wrong with Hollywood and Nashville. He is pure talent w no gimmicks. There’s a boat load of Heart and Soul in this kid.

[@sammyjo8109]

No flashy clothes, backup singers, orchestra or choreography. Just a man singing a song coming from his soul. I think that is what sets him apart from others. He has such a pleasing to hear voice and his songs replay in my mind daily, especially this one. He sings the songs he loves, not songs to impress others.

[@mariesal3558]

I think all our hearts will break if Iam doesn’t win … he HAS to win . His singing reminded us all of our humanity ( in the middle of our world gone crazy )

[@gregbell3559]

I'm the same.

[@neaththeburishade]

Sound of Silence can only be sang by both Art and Simon. Not only Art alone, definitely not Simon alone. This song was written that it needed both of their voices to blend perfectly. Now, Iam is a totally different level. Carry on, Iam! I am rooting for you!

[@magic2506]

When he sings low with that slight whisper, it reminds me of Alejandro. He just has a very listenable tone to his voice. That uniqueness separates him from the typical non unique Pop sounding voices that audition. For me, it is discovering the unique artists that come to this show even though they may not win like Alejandro. In the end, the exposure for them is better than the win of the Idol contract anyway.
