“Love my team! Sorry y'all single drops on radio today ONLY! No iTunes!” he tweets excitedly. “Let me know if you hear it in your city and I will retweet! #Blessed!”

While on the show, the Bowie, Md. native’s R&B style and energetic stage presence earned him comparisons to Bobby Brown and even Al Green. He became a force to be reckoned with making it to the top four in the competition’s inaugural season after surpassing several strong singers from Simon Cowell's team, including Rachel Crow.
