Hey everyone. Great, great show. Powerful. According to Twitter, Miguel should win. He has 41,000+ followers to Emily’s 15,000 + followers and the other 4 acts are only in the 4 digit number of followers. So, how Miguel came 6th last week is beyond me. Whatever the outcome, managers and recording companies will be salivating and running over each other to sign him.
