Just out of curiosity I read a topic on a non-guitar board I frequent about the winner and was treated to blasphemy. Apparently the runner up should have won and is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I listened to a few tracks on youtube and there is one problem: he's not that good in any way. So I read on and get to some posts actually comparing this cat to Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant. I've never laughed so hard in my life. The best track I heard was a cover of Mad World which ain't exactly the most difficult song to sing. The others were marginal at best. It's always amusing to see people fawn over someone that just isn't that good.
