Guy could be huge if he just played to the masses. Oh well.

Agreed!
But I think it was always going to be a difficult choice for him. Either following his heart and perform how he wants and does right now. Or, change his character as not to be so confrontational.
I personally think he would have been more successful by first releasing an album of "standards" Taking the best songs and making them his own. Imagine an album with some Queen, Zepplin and even the NIN song he performed. This could have then given him more time to write and compose some better songs, rather than this mad rush to get a CD out for xmas.
Unfortunately unlike Daughtry (spl) he just isn't singing a decent song.
