(None of these contestants are 100% confirmed in Hollywood, but we have sources that suggest they've made it to Hollywood for season 9 of American Idol)

There are some strong VFTW vibes coming from this one. In the video above, he apparently wins "Grand Champion" at a vocal competition. The guy can barely stay on key throughout the song. So will he become a VFTW favorite, or will he be cut before we even see him on camera?

His pitch is ok! He falters sometimes, but it's a pretty good interpretation of a really tough song.

Also: This is a guy song :P. Jean Valjean, from Les Miserables.

I agree with Rednuhtfonos. He really isn't all that bad.

The high note are what he has a problem with. Now, if the American Idol producers make him sing up in the rafters, I think he'll become a favorite (or is that most hated?) here on VFTW.

He's fodder for Simon to humiliate.
