      To be honest, is quite difficult to choose one song, because this guy is so good, and because I chained memories to some songs.
      But, for the lyrics I would choose the first one “Monsters way” ? Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to know him.

    I'm pushing 50 yrs old and listen to all genres of music... I've never been a fan of folks covering original artists songs but this young man has something special deep inside that grabs my heart and warms it like a double shot of corn liquor..... Right on is all I can say, that and I'd like to thank his parents for giving the world this treasure of a person ❤

      I feel the same . I am older and Queen is my ultimate favorite. Sacred.
      Now this young man comes along with songs that sound like gentle waves lapping on the side of a dock and I am enameled by the sound of them. Yes he is a big man. He is Tongan and proud of it. And inside that young Tongan man beats a heart as big that young man singing next to him. They don’t make men like that anymore. Cindy

      @jamess.931 such a good man to help him through that song knowing what it meant to him because he lost his dad. I didn’t think after him singing that song for his audition that it could’ve gotten anymore raw and heartbreaking but damn was I wrong. That duet was incredible.

      ⁠@@quickdeuceabsolutely. It was beautifully heartbreaking. I lost it all over again when I saw Jellyroll comforting his mama in the crowd.
      I’ve never seen a more deserving winner on this show in all the years it’s been on. I love how he put his own spin on the songs he did. I found myself excited to see what he was going to sing next. I loved his spin on Lionel’s “Stuck on You”. Can’t wait to see what Iam does in the future!

His voice does what no other singer can nor will- bring. He is singing with a pure gentle loving caring yet hurtful heart. Bless this young man- always. ❤
