Self-proclaimed “church singer” and Sunday Best alum Jermaine Sellers is Entertainment Weekly’s #1 pick among this season’s American Idol contestants from Boston and Atlanta.

According to EW.com, while Sellers could stand to lose the “Wanya-itis” (a reference to Boyz II Men frontman Wanya Morris, known for his vocal acrobatics), he could be just the contestant to reverse the show’s poor track record “with regard to showcasing black singers with a legitimate shot at the crown.”

That’s great for Jermaine!
