For me it was refreshing to hear such a wonderfull talent on Idol. The passion he showed during the contest also required a great amount of humility when a true travesty occurred when he was voted off. Hands down "THE BEST" performer of the season if not the entire history of the show. His debut CD is fantastic and a must have for those that enjoy the rock/alternative (even pop) sound. A lost talent that has been found and will be enjoyed for years to come. Thank you for turning down Fuel and creating your own image, style and brand of music...
