Vocally, he's the best of the bunch, IMO. And he's improved a lot over the course of the competition - to me, he came across as realllly nervous at first. He's settled in.
There are few songs he's done where I've heard 'em later done by the original artist and thought "This isn't how this goes..." His voice grabs ya.
He and Taylor are my favorites.
Supposedly tonight he has to do a song from the year he was born? Localradiogal said that would be 1976.
