I don't get the Curtis love. He can sing, no doubt about it, but I prefer someone who sings effortlessly. I liked Lazaro and Paul much better. I see a much less likeable Reuben Stoddard in Curtis.
My 18 year old son walked in while I was watching AI and said "who is that guy, he sounds really cheesy?" - I'm thinking Curtis is not going to impress the young people. Of course I don't know any actual young people who watch this show. Young as in under 25.
