not bad at all!!
wow! its amazing too see how much music and a nice video can add. it really plays with ur mind. cant solely concentrate on his voice... but he definitely has a nice chazzan's deep voice, and can go both low and high. so good luck. you've got my vote!!

In my opinion while he went a little over the top with the production he seems to show greater vocal abilities than the previous contestants.

trained voice 100%
its so interesting to be able to hear right away that this is a voice that has training and he will go far (especially chazanus) there video production was nice, definitely adds but even if he would have submitted just the audio, he has my vote, really interesting deep voice so full of dimension!

nothing to do with this contestent,
ut first auditions should have the singer vulnerable so we can see their raw talent.
im starting to see a trend of poeple right away hiding behing filters, audio effects & nice footage.

it's nice, but not yet.

in fact they have a much better chance of becoming popular if they start off vulnerable & from there move on.
the crowd will then feel that their part of the (singers) journey.

like this their just protecting themselves (u cant criticize them b/c it DOES sound ok) but if they want to build up a fanbase they should start off with the basics & move on from there

video or voice?
I also think the same way! ''we'' don't want to concentrate on the video, but in the voice!!! I like just the simple guy with the microfone...

His voice
His voice effects (echo) does not fit in with the video effects. It sound like the music was recorded in a poor sound studio and therefore has an echo. When you watch the video it does not fit in with the voice you are hearing.
In my humble opinion

over the top
I would like to hear his voice without the sound affects,so it would sound like man not a machine.
To all future contestants skip the fancy stuff and lets hear the real stuff . (the good old voice)

Washed out
He sings well, but the recording is terrible. His voice is TOTALLY washed out in REVERB. You hear more reverb than voice....
