The mood completely changed as the James Teague stepped up for his chance to impress the judges. For someone who was self-taught, his fingerpicking skills were mind-blowing and his voice stood out from everything else the crowd had previously heard, starting his set with a ukulele and a falsetto. His erratic vocals were reminiscent of the late Jeff Buckley with elements of Bjork thrown in – totally refreshing. Although he was the only one on-stage, his presence seemed to fill it. - Fasterlouder.com
