      He's good but sorry his Nessun Dorma sounded flat and not powerful enough, he is Popera not Opera and a 2nd rate Bocelli at that. Try out Jonathan Antoine for a former BGT contestant with a better voice for "Opera" although I think even he would struggle to make the grade trying to audition for a major role at The Met or La Scala.

      Sometimes it can be better to not win. If he had won he would have to sit in Simon Cowell's pocket for the next 10 years or so and do whatever he thinks would give him (Simon) the biggest financial profit. Coming second means that very few (if any) of those restriction apply to Innocent and he will have much more freedom to to do whatever he himself wants to do.

    For the curious, this is the Italian version of the song Now You Are Free, called Nelle Tue Mani, with this specific arrangement originally sung by Andrea Boccelli (the group Miraclass also sung a very similar version). Meanwhile, hoping that this gets released on streaming platforms, as Innocent was just breathtaking.

    As someone from a country that doesn't understand opera music, he has made me get to understand it finally ❤ He is Mr. Opera himself 👏👏👏👏👏

      Cape Town has an excellent opera scene - mostly thanks to the UCT Opera Department. Unfortunately for us our opera singers are all so good that they end up in Europe. (Like Pretty Yende and Nombulelo Yende)

    I'm an opera singer and I'm fascinated by Innocent. He's a very good, close to a perfect lyrical tenor. He reminds me of a young Di Stefano. This young man would wipe the floor with the modern Metropolitan singers. It's not even close.

    I've never seen Simon studder the way he did. Was so impressed it blew his mind and took his words and articulation.

      You should watch him speak after Tom Balls performances in 2022. Couldn't put a word together. Unfortunately the best don't always win.

    I honestly did not have the strength to comment on this performance as I was too enthralled and overcome. "Now we are Free"...such a soaring orchestral arrangement, which you took and soared with it. I am such a proud South African with a heart pulsating with joy watching you enthrall the world. Well done Innocent❤❤❤❤🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

    You are amazing. God gives you great gift. With your voice you bring me up to heaven. Not many can do this. You are lifting up the people’s soul up. This is the meaning of the real art. Please keep going and don’t allow your soul to be sold. God bless your journey 🙏.
