I agree with Simon, I disliked his song choice from the first lyric and someone 13 years old has no way of knowing what true heartache is yet so as a storyteller singing about his "woes" as Ed Sheeren can and wrote the song about just doesnt feel believable or convincing in any way. Simon knows what he is doing! 😊

I know what you mean. Sometimes you just have to pause a video and comment on what you are feeling at that very moment! 😊 I also felt he looked like a condensed version of the handsome young man he will turn out to be in his 20's. He is already looking like a young male model and it isn't a stretch one bit to see that once he grown he will be a "Heart 💔 Breaker" I just sincerely hope he is given the "chance" to be a young teenager first and continue to be a kid and have a happy and normal childhood. I hope his parents DO NOT let him get used and exploited like the real Justin Bieber seemed to be by that nasty man P Diddy! I wish him much success and happiness and a happy, fun and wholesome childhood! 😊🏀🧸🥋🎮🧢🎸

Everything about songwriting singing is about emotions most every song is about a broken relationship a repaired relationship you name it you name it there's always emotion involved so when Simon hit the switch on this young man and brought out emotion and that's a good thing because that's what made him sound so much better when he got his emotion involved watch his face and youcan see what I'm talking about.
