I call shenanigans if this kid does not win. Best singer I've seen on any season of AI ... and he is saving a current crop of horrid male singers.

Carry on ...

When I heard his rendition last night, my jaw hit the floor. That performance probably ranks in the top 3 of all performances during the show's entire run. Wow. After he did it, I kind of think he should've saved it for a bigger moment. He could only do one verse. If he had done the entire song, I'm not sure Paula Abdul would've been conscious at the end.

Yes, I watch American Idol. Meet me outside.
 
Yeah, I didn't want to believe the hype on this kids but after last night damn he's good. He could get voted out tonight and that performance will get him a record deal. If he's lucky he won't win so he doesn't have to put out a record thats been packaged for the winner. Those that loose tend to do better.
 
I got this chills at one point during his rendition. Damn that was good.

and make fun of me for watching AI, I couldn't give a ****. I enjoy seeing talented people sing.
 
When he started singing Imagine, my first thought was his balls were bigger than his brains, but it turns out that he's just that good. I mean, I knew he was good, but as my wife said, he could do that song with that arrangement, put out a record and have a hit today.

It was incredible. I can't believe he's 17.
 
I watch the show too, and I got goosebumps when I saw that last night. I would give my left nut to be able to sing like that.

And to think that he just turned 17 a few weeks ago, his voice will only get better with time.

I heard that kid this morning, and yea he really can sing. What I don't understand is why that little asian guy gets to perform with both groups.
 
I haven't watched the show in about four years, and I caught last night's episode.

It was amazing. I turned to my girlfriend and said that i hope he sings The eyes at my funeral.
 
"If he's lucky he won't win so he doesn't have to put out a record thats been packaged for the winner."

Yeah, but his soul will still belong to Simon.
 
And I agree with the original post. This competition is over. Everyone else is battling for runner-up.
 
I just watched my dvr of the show from last night. While he was very good and easily the best male performer this week, I won't go as far as to say the competition is over. It's very early, and a few of those ladies can really sing, too. As for how that performance stacks up against performances and performers of past seasons of AI, there have been several that were better. It was too slow and not nearly as perfect as some would like to make it out to be. He also threw in some runs that made it seem a little too much about the singer and not enough about the song, and Imagine is really all about the song and it's message, imho. That's one of the things that made it such an enduring favorite.
 
Put me in the really good, but not amazing camp. I think Syesha is the one to beat right now. She is great each week. Right behind her are Brook and Carly.
