My second-favorite contestant of this season. I love his voice, and his whole demeanor just brings a smile to my face. I hope he goes really far!

Love his quote, and it shows he may be wise beyond his years:

This kid is so cute! He reminds me of someone who used to be on TV, but I can't think of who it is... ??? Anyone else think this?

A definite front runner, one of the top contenders. He is very, very good. My favorite so far.

I was thinking the same thing, but no one comes to mind. Adorable. Unfortunately I thought the same thing about Sanjaya last year. Here's hoping he has a different future.

Federov all over again.

I have to disagree. IMO this kid is more talented than Federov. Federov had a story, this kid just has talent. My favorite so far.

Federov had talent too but not the charisma.

Federov did have talent, but I think his story compelled voters. In this kid's case it's all about the talent. IMO he is more talented than Federov.

This kid just makes me smile. He has such a quiet confidence.

He will go far.
