Carrie, you’re so pretty!

Btw Rickey, can we get Daughtry’s video? That’s such an awesome version of the song.

I always worry when Carrie sings a pop song, but she did a nice job w/ this beautiful GM song. She got emotional and choky at the end. That was nice.

I still think she overdressed for the occasion.

I’m in the minority here (I know, shocking!). I never liked Carrie on Idol (I called her Carrie Deadwood in response to her always emotionless, mechanized performances) – and here, she shouted most of the song, dissipating the emotional desperation of the original lyrics. It’s a great George Michael composition.
With a new Greatest Hits just released, I wonder why Michael wasn’t asked to sing himself. It could have perhaps saved us from Teri Hatcher – I would have donated more to not have to hear that again!

Shouted most of the song? I don’t hear shouting whatsoever. I’ll agree some of the songs on her 2nd CD are belting the entire time (even though she actually sounds good when she powers notes), but I was actually impressed with the performance because of the soft moments she gave us, especially the emotion at the end.
