Yeah, I've gotten a little annoyed, if you will, at that. It's great that he's humble and truly a sweet kid, but give yourself some credit, man!
I don't think he realizes how talented he is and I'm sure hearing it over and over is a bit much and he starts to think people are just saying it to be nice because he's cute and young[er]. I think once he starts recording his own stuff and stepping away from the Idol runner-up thing a bit, he'll become more confident in his 'image' and how he presents himself, but still stay the same grounded David.
