America's got talent

I was youtubing (I use this word to say, "I was going around the site and looking for interesting vids...") and I found out this great singer. This is a vid taken from an American tv programme similar to our "Saranno famosi". I think both American and Italian versions are part of an international tv format. However I was really impressed by this guy who has a wonderful voice! Unfortunately, after watchers' comments, I guess he didn't win the final competition. Maybe, our American peers can tell me something more...
