I've casually followed his story, and have loved every minute. That first, surprisingly fantastic performance, was so unexpected it reduced me to tears. Part of his appeal is that he is so unassuming and shyly honest. What a breath of fresh air.
I do hear some rough edges in his performances, but the talent and ability is all there. Opera is acting as well as singing, and we simply don't know his acting abilities. But, I would think, with training and practice, there is no reason he can't be successful.
