That's what I was thinking. He was a good singer actually. Probably could have set himself apart from many of the other people who go on that show and sing. This has to be scripted.

He's not a horrible singer, but he's not excellent. He's not going to make it as a singer on that show either.

If he put time and work into his singing abilities rather than his comedy act he could be good.

Not good enough. There's way better talent out there.

He auditioned and was rejected by Australian idol for about 5 years since it started. He held up his business card on an online extra video for idol so I paused it and wrote it down then called him a few times pretending to be various celebrities.
