That “vibe” is Gods presence
What a lot of people don’t know is that Long Beach is flooded with gangs and violence. And for this young man to overcome all of that, put his faith in god and still come and give type of performance. I love it. I’m a huge fan

Unfortunately, nearly ever town has a problem with gangs, violence and the drugs that fuel them.

Please make sure you write God in a proper way when you write with a lower case letter , it means you are saying a little god not the almighty God. Please pay attention to what you write, thanks for your understanding...❤

Roman brought me straight to chuuuuuuuch 🙏🏾 He’s anointed. Goosebumps all the way.
Roman is the pastor’s son of the church my mom works at and attends. He has such an amazing voice and is very very sweet. I’m surprised he waited as long as he did to audition. I hope he makes it very far.
I LIKE HIM!!!! He definitely makes a person want to smile, and sing along!!!
that moan into the song. Such great energy. WAsn't expecting that vocal quality and he was grooving and getting down with it. This just FELT good. Chills on that ending!! - So You Wanna Be A Singer

Agreed but for THIS show, Gospel not go win!
He's an old soul. The beautiful old style of singing.
Love the energetic personality of him and his voice!
He just gave yall a mini concert. I bet its much more greatness to come!!
This guy is a natural!!!!!!!
YOU BETTA SING!!! Beautiful Gospel soul voice!
Church!!!!! 😂 I love it! 💙
He had me from the first note! Rooting for this young man. Love this performance!
He is amazing! The moan he did with the song and I loved the churchy vibe he brought. He took us all to church. The runs was everything I could ever ask for. I would like a little bit more runs as well but it was still flawless regardless. He could make the finale honestly.

Runs are amazing but when you already have a record deal and can do whatever. But on a show like this you have to keep it versatile and can’t over due runs because it make it look like that’s all you can do and the judges will come for him Katy already did talking about don’t make it too churchy

@@starbeautysix3967 That's where I disagree with the judges because I feel like I can't get enough of that, especially when it comes to Idol. Remember Joshua Ledet? He did a lot of runs and was very very churchy in a good way and it got him into the top 3. I just love when people do lots of runs and are very churchy on Idol. I have a big thing for that.
He’s a hybrid soul singer. Literally from the soul.
You better Sang Roman! I feel honored and Blessed to hear you sing every Sunday!!! You bring down the house God's House every time!!!! Go Roman Go!!!
I love when he says "I'm church, I can't help it" 😂👍 and soooooo glad he didn't listen to Katey...in fact I think she's glad he didn't listen to her either... looking back I see only God knew how Roman's spot on the show would touch her and so many others. That guy was not about to put a lid on Gospel but release it!!!😊 God is good!
I got goosebumps in the first note!!!!!! LOVE his voice!!!!! To 10 I say!!!!! God bless this young man!!!!! Hard work paid off for you!!!! Cant wait for more!
My God his voice is anointed 😮
instant chills off that first note
Fantasia watching this like 👀🥳🥰😍
Ohhhh he’s definitely going to 🔝 10
Praise God and Congratulations!
Now thats soul 🙌🏻
I like this guy and his personality too. And he’s got an amazing voice!! Whole package :)
