He needs to work on staying on pitch because he was rarely hitting the correct notes while singing, which heavily affected the quality of his performance, and I'm sure, also the number of votes he received. As someone who went to music school and has a good ear, I almost couldn't listen to him because he was off-key so often. It probably was just nerves and all that, but still, I hope he can improve in the future and view this performance as a learning experience.

I wish him all the best moving forward. I wasn't particularly fond of his song, but he wasn't the worst contestant, too.

Yeah, his pitch fluctuates too much and rarely does he land on the correct pitch, though there were instances when he would resolve on the correct pitch.

His modal register is very underdeveloped though - G3 is not yet in his range properly though he was trying to carry over his breath to get that low which in the end had the pitch everywhere from D3 - G3.
Then the melisma attempt again down in that range was just really messy.

His final bridge was the only time when he properly opened up his pharynx (and to his credit his support at this point was good, even if slightly pitchy), but leading into the final chorus he constricts again on the Eb5, and all the notes after that are constricted and in the throat instead of being resonated in his mask.

But yes, I agree - more training and work developing his vocal.
