I absolutely live for this sort of thing. An amazing talent he has, plus willing to showcase it to people and keep alive centuries-old music, what's not to love?

While I don't tend to watch TV talent shows, I do enjoy when someone manages to sing their way out of preconceived perceptions of them. The reactions from audiences and judges falling right in with my own amazement is wonderful. Such folk deserve to be recognized for the talents, despite the outer wrapper (or because of it, as the case may be).
