      He's good but sorry his Nessun Dorma sounded flat and not powerful enough, he is Popera not Opera and a 2nd rate Bocelli at that. Try out Jonathan Antoine for a former BGT contestant with a better voice for "Opera" although I think even he would struggle to make the grade trying to audition for a major role at The Met or La Scala.

      Sometimes it can be better to not win. If he had won he would have to sit in Simon Cowell's pocket for the next 10 years or so and do whatever he thinks would give him (Simon) the biggest financial profit. Coming second means that very few (if any) of those restriction apply to Innocent and he will have much more freedom to to do whatever he himself wants to do.

    If you guys go back to his first audition, he gave the crowd a glimpse of this extraordinary masterpiece. I figured he had this coming one day. And I was right. This is AMAZING!! Love it!! Also, “Now We Are Free” is one of my most beloved songs known to man.
