I'm an old broad, but I remember growing up that some of the most respected people I knew were the school janitors. We knew they did a hard job and we LISTENED to them.

[@yardleyj9391]

I'm 55 and I remember how much we honoured and respected our school janitor.

[@freakbennett2263]

many times, jûs sāyīn !😎✌😎!

[@btaos1625]

In grade school we loved our janitor and he was a black man in an all white neighborhood in Oklahoma..mid-50's. Lol. I still remember him.

[@incognito4522]

Same my mom was a school janitor in my high school. I was excited to run into her in between classes. She was preparing to act like she did not know me to protect me. I did not care I ran up to her to say hi. She was so happy her face lit up. She thought she would embarrass me. I told her never I do not care what these kids think. My mom worked 2 jobs and stayed married to a mean drunk to raise us in a 2 parent home. It paid off. Her prayers got us through. My dad finally came to the lord many many years latter. Their latter years were their best years. They are both with Jesus now. Cant wait to see them both again.

His talent is very unique and so original! And he picked Sir Tom Jones as his coach!!!Excellent!!!

[@tommoclement]

Sir Tom is the only one who has true talent on the judges panel.

[@aaronoli3729]

Exactly. A wise choice to go with Pawpaw Jones cos pawpaw Jones definitely a world legend! ❤

I've met countless janitors with a hell of a history. This is but one of them now. You never judge the book just by the look of it's cover.

[@dianaross6512]

And nothing wrong with janitors. Honest, hard work.

[@frenchfries9258]

Or by it’s title. You’ve got to look inside.

He should be soooo very proud of himself!!! He did what he had to do until he got to where he really wanted to be!! 🥰🙌🏻

I learned a very very long time ago to not EVER underestimate anyone from just face value, you will get humbled if you do. most ppl wouldnt think twice if they passed him on the street....never know what insane talent someone is carrying with them in secret that no one knows about.

Wow!!! 😮 This is my favourite song of all time and I’ve never heard anyone but Van Morrison sing it, and couldn’t have imagined anyone doing it, but this guy is great and he did it proud. Just amazing…❤❤❤

[@sandrahill7437]

Talent knows talent. I am surprised he didn’t get a. 4 chair turn around. This man sings with heart. I need to tell you that there are two types of singers , 1, they are talented or 2, they are gifted. This man is gifted and you feel what he sings. I hope he stay in this to the finals. Good luck

[@user-po2sp3dc4b]

Van would've loved that . Fabulous

[@EmpressMissH]

Geez! He is fantastic. That voice is out of this world, plus...he sang a Van Morrison song...one of my favorite favorites. I've been told a lot that he is an unlikely choice for a young black female growing up in Soweto 😂😂

[@kobusdutoitbosman6240]

...when you are blessed to get groomed, trained and guided into taking the greatness you already carry in you, by a true and most rare Maestro like Tom Jones, you realise that miracles still happen, when they are destined...And this is just a fantastic happening. In fact indescribable a one. I think Van Morrison would’ve approved handsomely, as (as Tom rightfully said) you OWNED the song. How great is that, HEY?!? WELL DONE, truly masterfully done in raw nakedness of real talent...

[@annacurtis8758]

Absolutely 💯 brilliant 👍
