Mario is hot and has an amazing voice!

He was clearly the best performer of the season and would have won easily. He knew it and so did some other pros in the business. We will hear more from him later. Some obnoxious hip hop entity will sign him soon.

He's cool.

Talented enough, and he should be successful. Like Latoya London for AI3, a clear favorite who would'e been booted off anyway because he had too much going for him. When he quit, I knew he probably had some secret deal lined up. I never did buy into that personel issues crap.

HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HIM, arrogant, boring voice, he looked like he wanted to make love to himself in that i love music performance and his voice often sounded like a chick

Ohhh, I could never understand why anyone thought Mario was one of the favorites. His weak, although pleasant enough sounding, voice was nothing original, and he sounds like someone who was in a boy band when they were young and is trying to make a solo career now. Plus, he was so cocky, it was annoying.

Good voice, but a little cocky.

In the beginning, I couldn't Wait for his turn to END. His choice in music is Very far from what I like and am able to appreciate in music. Well, this last performance, Was it AL GREEN!??? OH MY GOSH. IT SLAPPED me down right on my A--. IT WAS UNBELIEVABLY INCREDIBLE. I realize I was blinded in the beginning by my dislikes in music type. I will be far more open from here on!!!! WAY TO GO MARIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Mario is a great entertainer and the singing voice is good too, although not the very best. He almost sounds a bit feminine when he is singing at times. I love to watch him though.

He's blown me away. Plain and simple.

Definetly going to make it! Beautiful voice, loads of charisma confidence, mojo working, great eye contact, superb performance.

I do like his voice and I think he is talented, but he doesn't have something that makes me really like him.

Mario is a double threat. He's a performer, and an entertainer. He makes us laugh, and has a wonderful voice. I wouldn't be surprised if he made it really far.

He was born to be singer, We know it, he knows it, the judges know it so let's be real. That guy has the full package. He has the voice, he has the looks, he has the groove, he has the personality. One of the best male singers ever on that show.
