He's cute, has a nice smile, and a really nice voice! His fan base will NOT be just from Puerto Rico! The fan girls will adore him if he has a nice personality. I hope he does well in the TOP 36. Honestly, when was the last time there was a contestant like him? I need to see more, although I won't be doing that much voting this season.

I think his voice is quite good, in the style he's chosen. The question is how far he can go in the competition -- he must have done OK with other styles at Hollywood? Anyway, I'd love to hear him do some classic spanish-language stuff, but I'm not getting my hopes up. This guy could have a great career in Latin music, which is a huge market.

I work with a lot of Puerto Ricans and I bet they love him. But, can he get the National vote. It will be interesting to see how he does. I work with a lot of Puerto Ricans and I bet they love him.

They instantly recognized the Spanish song and, being familiar with it, said that he did a very good job with it. I thought he was pretty good - good voice and all that. And I think he has potential, but he's going to have to appeal to a cross-section of voters to go very far. So, we'll see how it goes. My Latin coworkers looooved this guy.

He changed them up way too much for me. I'm not sure I would call him good looking, but I did like him. He has that Latin charm. It will be interesting to see what he does in Hollywood.

I guess I just wasn't impressed.

I have no idea how far he can go, though. I agree he probably mainly got through to "represent" for Puerto Rico. I rather liked him when he sang in Spanish. I have no idea how far he can go, though.

I think his first song was one of the best auditions this season. Cute guy and all, he could make the top 12, so there would be contestant from Puerto Rico in the finals. Other than that, I don't think he has much more to go far. We'll see. He has great vocals. I think his first song was one of the best auditions this season.

We'll see how he fares once the competition begins. He’s okay but I didn’t see or hear anything during his audition which would compel me to pick up the phone and vote.
