As he gets older, he might keep the range he has while expanding into the lower octaves, lose the upper range and go into the really low octaves, or his voice will be wrecked entirely. I really hope it's not the latter, since that'd be absolutely tragic. He seems like a hell of a nice kid.

Is this child for real? I'm completely choked up here. I'm an atheist and listening to this song is almost a religious experience unlike any other. Golden, indeed.

Thank you for finding this and sharing it. Made my day.

I interpret that to mean that the judges are unanimous in their opinion that it's an overwhelmingly amazing performance, and none of them can find anything to criticize.

Just my guess, though, since I don't watch any of the "X Got Talent" shows.
