Laith Al-Saadi doesn't look like any of his fellow competitors on the NBC singing competiton 'The Voice'. He's older, balding and a little paunchy, kind of like a modern day Ben Franklin. And he sings songs from the '60s and '70s.

But man, the dude can sing. Watch him blow the judges away Tuesday with his take on 'With A Little Help From My Friends'. 

Al-Saadi is representing Adam Levine's team on the show, and I don't believe any of the judges have been anything but complimentary. Mainly because Al-Saadi is no neophyte. A veteran of the Ann Arbor blues scene, Laith has been performing longer than many of his competitors have been alive, and has already released three independent albums.

Bonus: Laith was once the singer of the Detroit Lions pep band. And I never knew there was one!

You can still vote for him through noon Wednesday on The Voice's web site. Plus, if you buy his song on iTunes, you also help him stay in the competition.
