Lawrence starts with surprisingly little interogation from the judges, and immediately blows all of us away with an amazing deep voice. Singing the classic "Old Man River," Lawrence makes me immediately vow to purchase anything that he records with a voice that I'm curling up and sleeping in, for real. Immediately after Lawrence starts to cry, and I have to say it's nice to see an act go at the end because it's actually the most talented one on the show. There's no crazy stories about drunk drivers or school bullies, he's just a damn good singer. Sharon gets up and hands Lawrence a Kleenex, and we're ready for some judge gushing. Piers calls it stunning, Sharon says it's a class act, and David says we can all learn a lot from people like him. People like him, David? Racist bastard. Piers teases that the audience doesn't like him and so of course they go crazy, and the music swells as Lawrence is voted through. Lawrence is in shock and still crying, and David wraps up the show by again saying how moving Lawrence's voice was. And he's definitely right about that.
So how were the LA auditions? Was Lawrence as good as I thought? And the kite guy! Is ANYONE else going to lose sleep over him?

Loved Lawrence! I'd say he is in my top five acts as of right now.
Did anyone notice that the dance crew that was barely shown was named Iconic. I couldn't tell for sure, but I think they are the same crew from season 1 of America's Best Dance Crew. Can anyone confirm?
