Villanueva played tour guide to mentor Chris Isaak and a Prime7 film crew on Wednesday, with fans screaming everywhere.

“He comes across as a really nice guy. He’s not only good looking … he’s a well rounded individual,” said Councillor Bradbery.
Jo Halios-Lewis from Balgownie ducked out of work early to bring her two children to the concert, agreeing the singer was down to earth and talented – “head and shoulders above the others”.
Senior minister of the New Day Church in Figtree Brett Gottle has known Villanueva for eight years and also attested to his character.
“He’s a man of integrity, he has incredible character, incredibly humble and extremely competent,” he said.
The other running theme I kept hearing from everybody – even my housemate who rarely watches talent shows – is that Villanueva does have The X Factor.
