censorship of the negative is suppression of self-growth.

Simon Cowell would just say
"take the song and make it your own"
sure he's a good impersonator
but he needs to be his own person.

Oh my goodness! My mom told me to look up this show because I'm a huge Johnny Cash fan. This kids voice is not only amazing but incredible that it comes from a 15 year old! He's outstanding!

Awesome! Great voice, and I can't believe he is only 15! WOW, good luck Vince.

My wife saw this on the Ellen show and taped it. She (a Johnny Cash fan) said this kid is really good, you should watch it. When I finally had time, I was amazed. This young man is amazing. He covers Johnny Cash astoundingly well. My comment to my wife was that his voice is actually better than Johnny Cash. Johnny was a great story teller, but his voice (after the first few years) was compromised by his other issues. It took her a few viewings to come around, but after seeing the tape a few times and comparing, she agreed with me. Vince, you are incredible. I will buy your album. Best wishes for a long and successful run. You are a welcome breath of fresh air in a dreary contemporary music scene.

Regards,
Fred

noni I've seen allot of stupid comments to video clips on the internet but that one tops them all...

MY GOD WHAT A TALENT! I saw Vince sing on Ellen at 8:00 a.m. West Coast Satellite. When the afternoon show was coming on, THANK GOD...my husband got home from work and I told him he would "NOT BELIEVE THIS YOUNG MAN!" We were AMAZED and STUNNED at Vince's performance! A couple of years ago a young lady named "Delana" sang RING OF FIRE on the ROCKSTAR SUPERNOVA Show.
She was AWESOME with her version of it but did not pretend to sound like the original. Vince has quite a career ahead of him.
Ellen, you are the most genuine talk show host on television. Don't ever become like the others for you are a delight.

My God!!! What a talent!!! He sings so easily without apparently TRYING HARD TO DO SO! Boy does Vince ever have success ahead of him! Honestly, this is among the finest young talents I have ever witnessed and I am a huge music fan, music of every kind. Ellen, you are refreshing and the most genuine talk show host on television in America.

Johnny Cash never went to prison. :)

But yes, he has a voice. But it's no Cash.
