    Here's the deal, if the crowd is THAT into a contestant, you should probably turn. He obviously had a great voice, the crowd was absolutely loving him, it's a no brainer.

      Agreed! The crowd is honestly your biggest critic. If the crowd doesn’t like it, that’s a sign that it’s not gonna happen. But if the crowd LOVES it, like they did here, there should be NO hesitation. Just press the button!

      Yeah in a show like The Voice, you're not looking for a good singer who can sell records in the pop/rock industry, you're looking for someone who is gonna make the audience root for them. You can be the most talented singer in the world but if watching you isn't fun, then why would I watch the voice? I'd be just listening to music on my own.

    This showed so much skills that this singer Musician has. Now I put in a complaint about the so called modern version of Meat Loaf rock musical. Because it did not work the voices did not match the music including the lead singer. So I said they should had used Chris James. Plus they needed to stop making it like a futuristic space adventure as it does not work. I was right. They could had made it up to date without the trying so hard to make it work. Meat Loaf did two Albums that I would class as rock opera or rock stage shows they were that good Bat out Hell and then Back in to hell. Meat Loaf live was amazing and if doing a type of musical you need a caricature just like him to sing those songs and be those parts.
