It is a win that he can go on mainstream TV, sing, and have the discourse not be about how shot is voice is. He was fine, singing an easy song. That is not a under-hand compliment either, it is clear he is on a journey with his voice and taking steps. I also like that he has been popping up in random places singing live, and it has all been fine.

Regarding being a judge, for the reported $25 million he wants, who can blame him.
