    I have a one and a half year old son with a seizure disorder that basically leaves him functioning at a newborn level. I have a playlist full of songs all random and scattered but whenever your songs come on he lights up, smiles and starts to become physically active. You bring our family a lot of joy. Thanks Andy

This is a whole different calibre of songwriting and vocal performance compared to any and every other audition/submission.

Being a musician as well I should be ashamed of such one sided thoughts. Well done sir and thank you.

His soul is in this song. The tone, cadance, vibratos and yes, even the screams. At the same time, he let's the instrumental solos come through. Some other artists didn't. He should have won. He has a great future ahead.
