Not bad. He flubs a couple notes and his timing and phrasing is off a little here and there (in the studio, I would have him punch in in a couple of places), but, overall, he’d pass the audition. 🙂 ---

Thanks, **pulykamell**. You’ll probably see it anyway, but I started another thread about him [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=602013). I’d appreciate your input. ---

He’s phenomenal. Screw getting in shape. Ruben Studdard got a record deal, so can this guy. ---

> [@What\_the](#): > > Could he be teching up his voice a bit? I doubt it. To me, it looks 100% legit, especially since there are a couple rough edges in there. Other than a bit of reverb and perhaps a touch of compression, I don’t hear any major technical trickery happening there. (ETA: Although in the other thread, **Crotalus** appears to hear a lot more processing At any rate, I’m convinced the take itself is raw and unedited.)
