He Won!

More power to him!

our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay

shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

In a lot of ways his voice has more substance than Andrea Bocelli, but he needs to be properly coached. He is such a sweet unassuming man. I wish him all the luck!

ETA: The sound is a bit wobbly from 2:00 to 2:30 it seems, for me anyway.

Posted: 6/18/07 at 11:19amWhile there is some sort of an X factor thing with him, his voice is a little affected sounding to me. His pitch is suspect -- not exactly off pitch, but it takes him a sec to find the center.
