Not only the voice but also charisma is a key quality for a great performer.

As American Idol approaches its finale, contestants must do their best to prove they are worthy of competing with other talents and rising to the top. With only eight artists remaining, each is unique and gifted in their own way. But will many of them remain popular after the show is over?

One of the most memorable contestants is Zachariah Smith. While his powerful voice can wow a crowd, many viewers question whether he can become a star after American Idol. Let's examine the arguments and find out what fans think about Zach.

Many believe the 20-year-old singer from Amory, Mississippi, lacks personality despite his excellent vocal timbre. A successful artist must possess not only a memorable voice but also a vibrant stage persona.

'Way too over the top to the point where it all just looks like a joke. If anybody deserves the cruise ship, not a real artist, Vegas impersonator digs it's him,' a Reddit user said. Unfortunately, someone can only be remembered as a background singer without originality.

'I like him but he just sounds well sung karaoke to me. He can definitely sing, but only good for covering other artists,' another Redditor added. According to some fans, while he has a great voice, he mimics famous performers rather than expressing his own emotions.

However, not everyone agrees. While admitting there is still room for improvement for Zachariah, many viewers maintain that his energy is enough to entertain the audience.

'I get people don’t take him seriously but this show desperately needs more people who are willing to have a good time on stage,' another Reddit user disagreed.

We can't predict who will make it to the top of the music industry after the show, but Zachariah has a good chance because his movements, smile, and interaction with the audience make every performance come alive.

'At least he’s entertaining, whatever happens to him post idol is on him but I’d rather someone having fun up there in the competition than a stoic contestant,' someone else pointed out.

Ultimately, only time will tell if Zachariah becomes a true star. In the meantime, keep an eye out for him and the other contestants on the new episode of American Idol on 7 May.
