I'm a professional Blues singer ( As in I do it as my sole income and have for many years) and I think Sawyer is fantastic. Sometimes he bites off a little more then he can chew ( Like that Simple man- too big for him IMHO- he wasn't old enough to deliver that with the passion it needed but for a 15 year old??? HOLY MOLEY! THat kids is great!) I think his potential is endless and I think he will grow into songs like that, the same way Johnny Lang did 20 years ago. And I think Sawyer can really make a mark in the genre as a whole. Let's just hope when his voice matures it's as exceptional then as it is now. So many youngsters ruin their voices when they are thrust into a mainstream market like Pop music. I really hope that doesn't happen to Sawyer. Also hope they allow him to stay "Blues" rather than trying to make him bastardize his sound to fit "Pop" Markets.


That said...the Rock Ballerina singing CREEP BLEW ME AWAY! OMG! She totally won me over with that. Right now... she is my front runner. But so far my front runner has never won except for Tessanne Chin. LOL


And yeah I think Joshua is very good too. It's not always about "Power" sometimes having an identifiable sound counts more than range or lung power. Diana Krall and Norah Jones have made monstrous careers off of that. When I think about it - Luther Vandross also wasn't a power sings...but had that soothing R&B vibe Joshua has. He's definitely easy to listen too.
