For me he's the reason why Chris Daughtry and David Cook had courage to try American Idol. for the first 3 seasons I don't remember any rock artist trying out and doing as good as he is. And I also remember Chris and David mentioning they review Bo's performances before auditioning, that's something.

My favorite performance by him and the reason he didn't use the band was they could not find the music for this song. When he was asked if he is sure on doing this without he said yes. If people think a band was used why don't we hear anything but his voice. Made me almost cry the first time seeing it live on tv and still does. And I like how Simon said "You may have just put 45 musicians out of work.
