    I think Abi loves Sara Bareilles as much as I do because this was Sara Bareilles’s arrangement of yellow brick Road. And when Elton John heard it, he said “Sara a lot of people have done that song as a cover, but yours is by far the most beautifully unique one.” and Abidid a spectacular job.

      As anyone who's watched programs like AI knows, talent means nothing when it comes to having a career in the entertainment industry. At least the kind of career most of us envision when we think of success. It might never translate into a Grammy or an Oscar or a Platinum record. And please remember, regardless of outcome, nothing can be stolen when the outcome is left to the whims and lack of musical taste of the voting public. Diana Ankudinova, very unique voice and has won multiple competitions and is still just a regional nobody. Haley Reinhart couldn't win AI, has chosen to stay independent and found success on her own terms. Floor Jansen, a master of her instrument, would probably lose out to some mediocre pop singer with a twang on a show like this. And all those past winners, and contestants whose 15 minutes of fame have faded to black. As long as you expectations are bleak is there any hope for pleasant surprise.

    That's the Sara Bairelles version of the song, which is just absolutely stunning. If you haven't heard, look up Sara Bairelles singing Goodbye Yellowbrick Road and thank me later.

    I was kind of worried before I watched this because of the standard Sara B has on this arrangement but she hit it out of the park! Great job 👏
