   I've seen way, way, way better. Plus YouTube is notorious   
   for filtering out negative comments. People wouldn't   
   even bother to say anything negative. And it's really   
   that I think he's bad, but more that you severely over   
   rate him.

   I didn't see anything about it that would make   
   me want to listen to it multiple times, like I   
   would something I liked.

   I think your bar is very low. All he has is that   
   he is a young twink, and that's your main criteria.   
   It's just your mind filling in all these extra   
   talents that he doesn't. Give him five years, when he   
   is a bit older and you're going to totally loose interest.   
   There's a reason you pick these young kids. Maybe you're   
   attracted to their 'potential' ignoring what's in front   
   of your eyes.   
      
   Look at how much more talent these guys have.   
   I've watched it probably a thousand times.
