Oh yeah, he is a definite "given" for the Top 12. The boys overall appear to be the weaker gender this season, so he will cruise into the Top 12. It will be interesting to see how he develops throughout the whole process. That's what makes this show entertaining. You basically know what the journey entails, but every contestant goes through it so differently.

Final note about last night: I wish they would stop trying to sell the "best talent we've ever had" thing so hard. From the look of the boys side, it's obviously NOT the best they have ever had for those who have seen other seasons. Let it go, producers...let it go!
