      What in the hell are you talking about man? Have you ever even heard the original by Tracy Chapman? This is one of the best and most accurate covers I have ever heard, and his voice truly is perfect for this song. Claiming that his singing is "shitty" does nothing but tell all of us that you have no clue what great singing really is, which isn't shocking at all since you are using American Idol as some sort of gauge for what good singing is lol, which is comical/pitiful to put it kindly. In what world is this damn near perfect cover "borderline horrific" as you say?!? I would bet a lot of money that even Tracy Chapman herself would say that this was an excellent cover. Please explain what was "borderline horrific" about this song, in your "opinion". Also, American Idol has ZERO to do with genuine talent or actual amazing singing, so please don't try to use American Idol in your justification of your "opinion" or as some sort of frame of reference for what good music or talent really is. Thank you and I await your explanation on why this song was "borderline horrific" to you, when damn near everyone else heard this song for what it really was, an amazing cover of an amazing song, by someone with a killer voice that was perfect to do this cover. Thank you and have a great day. :)
      P.S. Go explore TH-cam and look for some musicians with talent or great voices, since you clearly do not understand what either of those things are. Also, how old are you? I will take the under at 24 years old, am I correct?
