Poor boy – drawn into Great British pop culture.
He deserves better!
It’s where the money is and the audiences, and nothing wrong with that. Other classical people have gone that way, and there are some very good talented people in that show.
would there be such a fuss if he was white?
Shame on you.You just can‘t let it rest can you.
He’s been encouraged – he and that kind of thinking – but the whole American nation!! What in the world would you expect???!!!!!
Yes, we are Britain not America. We have all colours, creeds and nationalities working together. Black or white, abuse against a child is abuse.
“abuse against a child is abuse.”
Unless they’re white, working class, and live in places like Rotherham, Rochdale etc.
Would there be such a fuss if he hadn’t been booed at ROH?
Not on SD that’s for sure
Maybe not. But on the other hand, Susan Boyle hadn’t been booed at ROH and she still made a big splash with lots of ensuing fuss over her.
Beautiful voice, fantastic intonation and stability (rare at that age) Great technique, relaxed, fantastic support. Hopes he keeps going and become a star classical professional singer
It’s the beatific looks from those ‘judges’ which amuse me the most. The boy has a beautiful voice and a bright future.
Yes, it’s precisely the kind of music which requires constant cheering and clapping. NOT.
Well it’s better than most of the “talent” seen on this show. Better than the performing dogs that’s for sure.
Other contestants are probably wondering whether it’s worth turning up at all.
A quite amazing voice. I hope it doesn’t break too soon. Those high notes are unbelievable.
Christ what happened to Simon Cowell’s face?
He should go for it while he can.
Historically, great boy singers have not tended to mature into great adult male voices.
I shall be curious to follow his future endeavors.
It shouldn’t matter where he lives, what color he is, how old he is…It should only matter that he is incredibly talented regardless if you enjoy that type of artistic talent or not. And that he looks incredibly happy doing it!
