Alejandro Aranda.

Here’s an artist who made his way to what is really a pretty artificial “contest”…..where the performer who doesn’t really surprise (too much) is often the winner…..where our expectations are met….but not often exceeded.

What a surprise!

And….what a great chance to realize again what a great writer Freddie Mercury was….and what a great band Queen is.

I really appreciate what a humble person this guy is, too.

Maybe it’s all an act….but….I doubt it.

I’d like to see the nice guy win.

I’d like to see the talented guy win.

I hope that somebody who feels like a real person….like Alejandro….can win this thing.

Of course….I’m too cool to actually watch this show….but….if I wasn’t too cool….I’d like to see the quiet artist win it all.

That would be cool.
