1. Good on Andrew, and thanks for posting. Amazing young man.

2. Watched it six times

Still wondering why it made me cry... every damn time.

3. I find his voice moving but I have a hard time believing

that he's never had any training and never sung before anyone at all.

If true, that's just amazing.

4. Does it matter?

What matters is that the kid made me and half the crowd cry.... with his voice.

I was weeping.

5. no, you/re right. it really doesn't matter.

for 19 the kid had an amazing amount of depth to his singing.

6. I saw that last night, and I almost fell over

I couldn't believe my eyes - a goth singing opera. I think he'll go very far, and I'm glad his parents finally support his love.

7. No kidding. What did they think of the loser in their basemet last week?

The kid's going to be a star. Like the starry-eyed girls in the audience, I cried.
