Also Christian is the weakest of Howie's GB acts after Drew Lynch got 2nd and Grace VanderWaal got 1st. Howie's pick this year was terrible. When he pressed it for Christian I was wondering if it was simply because of his story. Christian was obviously a middle-ranked singer and a Quarter-ranked performer. In a few years, with training and development, he may become something more, but he was not Buzzer worthy by a long shot.

So many really good acts were passed over or eliminated during the Judges Picks this year and too many mediocre or utterly terrible acts passed through.
