Comment: No evidence that the work of previous reviewers has been taken seriously, such as the Youtube and Amazon sources. It's time for all of us to move on to other things. ChrysGalley (talk) 13:56, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

- Comment: Out of the references in this article, two are Amazon books (one is self-published, while the other is a vanity press), two are YouTube interviews. Please remove those refs. Additionally, three only mention him in his X Factor audition. Nighfidelity (talk) 21:37, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
