Who do you think is better at singing this song?

Leona or Shayne?

Neither did justice to the original song.

I loved how the judges praised Shayne's version, how he did it.... they all pointed out how unique he made it.

Although, it was copied note by note from another performance of a US male (who's name is eluding me at the moment).

And Leona's was just a poor immitation of Eva Cassidy's classic.

He's technically a pretty good singer, people might not like his style but he can still sing well.

He's got a very impressive falsetto.

An identical copy of Josh Groban's version, Lance.

And I agree ........ Eva Cassidy's version is just sublime.

My sister was obsessed with opera/singing techniques at the time of the series, and she pointed out that, actually, he had an awful falsetto, technically.
