The soulful, Motown-style beat kicks in, and Robert dances while pointing at the crowd. His voice exudes soul and r&b, and the audience stands to their feet to clap along.
He sings, ‘It may not come in the mailbox. It might take a moving van. Take it when you can get it, and get it while you can!’ It is a very catchy song that even Simon seems to enjoy!
The judges tell Robert that even though he can’t see them, he can feel them after they give rousing applause. Howie says, ‘We can tell there’s so much passion. You’re a great inspiration.’
Simon Cowell compares Robert’s voice to fine wine. He tells Robert that he didn’t have that rich voice when he was a teenager. Simon also notes how catchy the song is and how it could become a smash hit.
