I agree he's good enough. He's about on the same level as Freeland, though the style is quite different.
Freeland is way more bookish-sounding. Singh is more informal, almost Layton-esque at times. But not on Layton's level in terms of sounding comfortable.
Though I have to say that Layton had a pretty strong accent and made lots of mistakes, but he came across as extremely comfortable and unintimidated. Which endeared him to people I think.
