OPINION

First off I’m quite sure that the song is not about the state of his face and teeth. It’s a good song by a young guy but I really needed to see this live as after just watching the video I was finding it difficult to match the voice with the boy however – this boy can carry it off live!

PREDICTION

There’s just so many songs this year of a similar genre so will this one stand out? It all comes down to the live performance and that could make or break the song. Good performance – top 10, poor performance bottom 5.
