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.
