Words can't do it, ya' GOTTA' come to the Finals to SEE and HEAR this guy in person. Highest score from ANY judge in ANY round by ANY contestant through this whole 5-week run. Hands down. He's a born performer, and he knows it. Confidence and poise, he can dance, sing, has BOATLOADS of soul, and everyone in the room has a phenomenal time watching him perform. Definitely a deserved win and we all look forward to this Monday night to see him take on the other 4 finalists. Good luck Shawn!

YES! He def is a born performer! Shawn has an awesome voice and his looks don't hurt either! A GREAT GREAT singer! love him! :)
ReplyDeleteYes he is a born performer and he knows it. But being a X male stripper he has the moves to prove it. I saw him at the singing contest at the Turning Stone Casino, along with Krista Mulpagano. But I truly thought that Krista Mulpagano has the voice. And being that this is a Karaoke Contest I would think that the voice should be one of the most important things to consider. So Shaun lets give someone else a chance in this small city. You know what you have so how about letting someone else have a chance at winning.
ReplyDeleteI think Shawn is the total package!! He is confident, entertaining, and definitely has the voice! This is a singing contest and I can't wait to hear all the excellent singers who made it to the finally!! Good luck to Shawn and all the finalists!!!!
ReplyDeleteShawn Toole did a fabulous job performing last week .. he def has a talent for singing and performing …and it is obvious it is more than a hobby to him - he has a passion for it ..…and to add to the soul, he loves dancing so much he teaches ballroom, salsa and etc...(stripping? ooo la la)…so thank you for not hiding your light under a basket and sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteSyracuse is a great city with a multitude of diverse talents, and it showed last week at Singers in the Movin Idol competition!!! WOW and I didn’t even have to pay a cover charge or ticket fee!!
I agree, good luck to Shawn and all the finalists…may you enjoy yourselves, the experience and the joy you give to all who listen to you!!
It's a double edged sword when you're an amazing performer. I hear all arguments. It seems Shawn is a little on the "Professional" end of performance and therefore it may not seem fair to have someone with his ability level in a primarily amateur competition. Unfortunately in this competition, there isn't a rule against anything he brings to the table and it's up to the rest of the performers to bring their A-Games tonight! Everyone just needs to keep in mind the CATEGORIES we score in and beef up what they bring in each and every category. If you're a weaker singer, bring your best and biggest Stage Presence. Give us a WOW FACTOR. Do SOMETHING to go above and beyond. Show how bad you want it. And you may be surprised with the outcome. Those score sheets are the only things we are allowed to judge on... I expect 5 Finalists to show up with all of those categories covered tonight! :-)
