en Jeffrey Adam Gutt stepped onto the X Factor stage on September 20, 2012, singing for his life. At the age of thirty-six, Gutt, a single father of a four-year-old son, had almost no chance. He barely has enough to live on and needs to make something good happen quickly. As he noted before singing, failure is not an option.
It’s a common refrain: you’re in your twenties and carefree, and then one day you wake up to find you’re in your thirties with not much to show for. The good news for singers is that going through hard times makes it possible for them to sing more authentically and with deeper emotions, which is what connects singers with audiences. So it’s no surprise that the judges and audience were moved by Jeffrey’s performance. With nothing left to lose, he poured everything he had into his song, singing with an authority and passion he probably couldn’t do in his younger days.

No matter how far Jeffrey gets on this show, my guess is that his music career just needs the boost it needs to get him where he needs to be.
