I've been listening to his performance of "With You" pretty much all morning.

People bashed that performance so much and I never understood why. Yeah, he stumbled over a line or two and him singing "boo" did sound kind of funny, but I thought his voice sounded good, even with that type of song. I think the minute people heard he was going to be singing that song they already had it in their mind that his performance was going to be bad so that's what they heard.

I'd be cool with him doing John Mayer and One Republic type stuff for his album. He really showed he could sing songs like that during his performance with One Republic. I like that he wants to sing stuff that sounds current and would appeal to a wide audience, but still wants it to have lyrics with a message. I just hope the songs are able to show off his voice enough because that needs to be showcased! I'd still love a few current sounding ballads as well because he always sounds amazing on ballads and I think they show off his voice the most. I'd love for him to write some songs too. I'm interested to hear what he would come up with.

I just listened to "Be Still My Soul" again. His voice is insane! He sounds absolutely perfect!
