I have liked Von Smith since I first saw him in the auditions. There’s something sweet about him. He chose to sing “You’re All I Need to Get By” and I was disappointed that he didn’t pick something more contemporary since I think he is so modern.
That said, he did a really good job and hopefully it will be enough to overcome the questionable song choice. Did you like Von’s performance!

Cute young boy but does not sound like the fantastic Clay Aiken.
[...] American Idol Season 8 Top 36 – Von Smith [...]
The new fourth judge said he sounded spicer than Clay. I think she has never seen Clay in concert.
Clay can sing circles around all of them.
