Looking back, I am so fucking happy he rejected us. I can't sing for half a shit, and honestly without really good acting/choreography (which he hadn't worked out at the time of the audition), it would have just been a fucking cringe-worthy failure.
I dodged a bullet, and thus do not know OP's feel.
