It's not really awful guys... not bad, but not great either. However, it's somehow a good start.
Nice choice of melody (even though I don't understand a word he's saying): Jacques and the producer of the song stuck with a lively and fresh song rather that listeners could quickly get into, in contrast to other artists that would rather launch rock or pop albums --- which, in these days, are the more popular genres.
Plus, I think the producers know that there is a market for Villenueve, may be not internationally, but in Canada. They decided to capitalize on that fan base. Sometimes, it's not really the voice that pushes a singer to success, but the amount of fans s/he has. I've seen great singers who are nowhere now because people just don't turn up.
All that said, I still think he should stick with driving in F1. I mean, it's fun doing it once or twice but not really a fall back I would recommend for him.
