I hope all the Canucks here keep track of CGT, and, if so inclined, vote. Not that it really matters on accounta "a star is born".
Stay with me on the following...
Matter of fact, I'll bet he gets "booted off" early on in the main competition and here's why... these shows are aimed at a certain age bracket and at certain genres in order to sell tickets/CDs. For those reasons, I think he has a slim chance of winning the whole thing, so, he may be cut after a few performances in the main competition AND then signed to a big contract AND have a rewarding career. Seriously, I just cannot imagine why he isn't already off the tarmack and in the concert hall.
Then again, I could be fulla shit. Either way, the lad is gonna make it big time. I'll be voting for him if he sings like that during the competition. If he DOES make the final, I'll vote more than once.
