Judging by his looks, you might think he was going to choose a pop hit, but he surprised everyone when he started to sing with a smooth voice, reminiscent of Josh Groban or Michael Bublé. That’s the beauty of the blind auditions – the judges get to experience the singer apart from their appearance.
