His was the first audition shown in the television broadcast. The judges praised Melo for his emotional performances and his command of the stage. After his performance of Karma Police by Radiohead in the Top 5 episode, the audience and judges gave him a standing ovation, with Jake Gold remarking, “I just hope the people at home understand what they just saw. Its one of the most magical moments ever on this show.” Zack Werner added, “Your parents must be proud, they might have a son who is the next Canadian Idol.”<...
