I remember very well, that many used to criticize him earlier for singing only sentimental songs.
Totally agree with you. The poor chap is selecting popular songs and trying to showcase himself as a total performer out of necessity to impress voting pubilic. He has shown how capable he is as a singer but he was not connecting with audience because he was quiet and focussed on singing alone and didnt get hype from judges either. He is just trying to connect to the audience because I remember reading in an interview him saying he was confident 99% on his singing capability he could win this contest but voting is not based on singing alone.
