Simple as that, which is too bad as he's such a likable fellow.

For the most part, he hits the notes. Anybody in a high school chorus can do that. The only other thing he has going for him is his accent: the nasally singing makes it seem more genuinely country. Can he hold any note for more than a second without it falling apart? I don't know, because he's never tried. Can he sing at a normal volume? I doubt it. Compare the individual voices of John, Marcus, and J.C. from the Texas Tenors (if you haven't heard them, go to YouTube), and the power of the three put together, to this man, and there's no way you can say that he deserves to win. If you don't like the Texas Tenors, turn to Barbara, or even Lawrence Beaman. Then turn to Alejandro from The Spiritual Harmonizers, and then to Marcus Terrell, then Bri. They are all a class above him, and half of them have already left the competition. That says something to me about this man's presence in the semifinals.

although this wasn't his strongest performance in my opinion, the guy can play a guitar and the emotional power he exerts through his performances is what melts the hearts of his audience.

Kevin is the real deal!! he will win the competition but even if he doesn't,he will be very successful!!!!!

I don't like country music, but when Kevin starts singing it...I just simply can not stop listening. He is an outstanding artist, and I just became his biggest fan =)
