He is good, compared to some other great singers he is missing a few 
notes, but that could be improved with more training, I guess.
Two remarks on this kind of shows:
- apparently the judges have never heard a trained voice before. 
Interesting, but not really surprising.
- If you want to find real talent you have a better chance if you take a 
look in a conservatory (or whatever a university level music school is 
called) than on the streets. Still in every country there are 
auditioning TV programs where every fool can get in and the main theme 
is the drama not the talent. I do understand this from a broadcasting 
point of view, but that doesn't mean that I like it.
