    Crazy how the moment he opens his mouth to sing it becomes so clear how he won the whole show. He’s got something so SPECIAL. It’s just evident in his being. I love the song too!!

      Yep unfortunately the studio ruins his voice. Which is why noone will buy his music. That said people are gonna be lined up to see him live.

      I think he’s become more confident and comfortable on stage since the show. Being back home, not having to compete this time, and singing an original song… all of that definitely shows here.

      I remember his hawaii top 26 after performing don't let go he walked backstage eyes just sparkling with joy. Then his excitement later on to get out on stage to perform, & ryan had to pull him back to give him his results. He's a natural performer! His enthusiasm is infectious

      For consistancy this season from the getgo, i'm calling will moseley this season with jack block runner up. Will sounds like a cross between chris stapleton & toby keith, and should be on the radio already. But yes, if iam were able to run again, hands down he'd be at the top!
