    • @jimtuell4076
      @jimtuell4076 Год назад +5

      He had to do a version that cut out one full verse and half of the middle part so that it would be short enough for the American Idol rules. It was still wonderful, but I would want his recording to include all of the song. (It is a wonderful song that I fell in love with one week after James Blunt released his video recording, in early January, 2020.)

    I loved his audition. Not just because of his story but his singing is breathtaking. I found his RUclips page or his families page-not sure which. There are a number of songs that he sings with his dad harmonizing The one that broke me was One More Day by Diamond Rio that he sang with his dad. I’m looking forward to his journey.

    Love your reaction. I am rooting for this kid. His voice is so soothing and beautiful and I felt his heartache and love through it. I cried so much during this performance and he is so brave and got through it and I'm sure he made his dad and family very proud . I lost it at the end when they started playing Somewhere Over the Rainbow by IZ. Looking forward to seeing more reactions

    @Inokea Год назад +1

    To help you out, most of the world's languages pronounce the vowels one way A=ah E=eh I=ee O=oh (short) U=oo (like the sound in "boo"). That's it, no trickery or nonsense like our American English. For example Ukulele is prounounce Oo Koo Leh Leh, NOT you ka lay lee. You might know the correct pronunciation of "Soju"=Soh Joo. Sake is Sah Keh. Marinara is Mah Ree Nah Rah, not mare uh nair uh. There's no tomfoolery like tough and bluff or though bow sew haha. Hope that helps.
