Overall Thoughts: Everything about this guy reminds me of John Legend. Anyway, Rayvon is in my personal top 5 guys. Granted this is very early to call, but from his videos I think he has something special about him. Coupled with a lot of potential, I think Rayvon will stick around for a while. He can show us a lot this season.

Song Suggestions:

All Of Me, by John Legend. Granted it would be totally karaoke, but if he performs it at the piano it will show he is marketable and fresh.
Georgia On My Mind, by Ray Charles. I feel like I suggested this song to someone already, but either way, I think Rayvon could slay it.
