Eh, I think he is more hype than anything. I enjoyed watching him for the first 3/4 of the season but have grown tired of him now that we're at the end. He is a very talented guy, but more theatrical than pure musical IMO. I wish he wouldn't scream with is tongue half out of his mouth like he does so much. I think if he wins (and he probably will) he'll have a nitch of people buying his CDs, just like Taylor Hicks but he won't be around for the long term.
