I can't rate John Stevens good or bad, because he was neither. He was average as Simon would say. There were nights that he sang really well, and there were nights that he was the worst of the bunch. He was brave by singing HIS genre of sonfgs and not the pop newage sensations. He loved what he did, and I think that's why he stayed so long. I don't think he was good enough to stay as long as he did, I think there were a few nights that he was riding on a suympathy vote, but hey, it's over and done with now.
