"Can't stop pushing the replay button. His voice is magical!"

The 31-year-old single father who at the blind auditions, was only able to make one of the judges turn his chair is making impressive waves in the competition as he appears to have a magnitude of fans behind him.

Week after week, he has impressed viewers to vote for him and managed to work his way up to be among the top 8 competitors in the season.
