Listen bro..been a fan...A FAN of yours wayyy before American Idol...so happy to see you on there doin ya thing..I live in Finland...yes Finland..although Im from Philly but Im so happy for you bro...you killed Grandmas hands...crazy
Overdone, wrong energy for the song. I understand making a cover your own, but the tone and mood HAS to remain as intended. You're a very talented singer, there's no question about that. I don't know how American Idol works, but I do know that runs, belts, and extremely long-held notes are what sell. And I'm absolutely NOT saying there isn't a place for that-- it just has to fit the thoughts and emotions one is trying to convey in the right song. This over-the-top style is what the mainstream considers "great singing". They know nothing of subtlety, of soul, of true emotion. They claim to, but they don't. Listen to the famous live performance of this song by the genius himself. Warm, soothing, somber, it allows the imagination of the listener to create the scenes expressed by the lyrics and mood of the song. Subtlety is hard to capture, but man is it worth it because magic happens. Again, you have a true gift. Extremely talented. These are just my opinions about this performance in particular. I wish you happiness and success. ❤
@veggiesaremurder, As a gen X, I can take both versions. However, I can agree Bill Withers cannot be outdone even with Y'anna Crawley's audition cover from Sunday's Best whose cover I felt was awesome.
GOOOOOG JOOOOB!! GOD BLESS! 😊❤
Extremely Outstanding Voice.....Seemly like a very Respectful young man......👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
