no more waiting for david

First contestant of the night: David Hernandez. We learn that he was raised by a single mom and comes from a broken family. Seems like a formula for success. We're also reminded that Simon gave him a "no" in Hollywood.

Song: "Wait til the Midnight Hour"

Me: It's a solid performance, that unfortunately reaches it peak early on. He adds a hint of originality there, but toward the middle it gets a little forgettable. He's not a bad singer, but nervousness hurts him here and despite his vocal charm, he could run the risk of the first-singer curse.

Randy: "I thought you did a really good job...way to start it off."

Paula: "You've got brilliant vocals to rely on."

Simon: "It actually was better than I thought it was going to be...I think you've got to loosen up a bit."

Yeah, I agree he's forgettable. Feel bad for him having to go first though
