There seems to be a lot of folks below that think I wanted Abi to sing the song just like Billie, and that is not what I was saying at all (please watch to the end). Did I have some critiques? Yes, but ultimately I think this was an amazing performance and she deserves all the accolades she is getting! I'm rooting for her, and looking forward to seeing and hearing more! Peace, Barrett

I'm not a music producer, but would say I'm more of an audiophile, of shorts. That said, glad to hear you understand how many ppl/comments found you a bit to critical and exacting @ times. Yes, she is f'ing amazing, in your words. She puts her own spin on it, and has to hit those highs to show off her range for the audition. I too am soooo rooting for her! But your cynical views of American Idol are interesting, saying AI is "all about the drama because they are TV". The back stories and emotion is what hooks our hearts even more so to these amazing artists/songs/performances! Take the McKenna Brienholt story/performance from this season! Amazingly touching story, and without that "drama" or backstory to her adoption, the tragic story of her birth mother, or the tear jerking family reunion after her audition, that would be a total disservice to McKenna, her mom's legacy, and the audience!! Music is supposed to be soul touching and her story that much more allows you to go there! We should welcome that "drama"! (BTW, would love you to critique her in the future! Listen to a few of her songs here, Save Me, Up in Fire, reminds me of Sarah McLachlan on the piano).

I am a lifetime singer and have been around talented musicians for 40 years. Beyond just technique, which Abi has clearly mastered, I go by how the song makes me feel. This performance touched my soul and was incredible for what it was… an audition where Abi had less than 2 minutes to make her case. Bravo Abi and God Bless.

She's freaking incredible, her voice just cuts through when she powers through. Don't undesrstand you not liking her going full voice. It's like one of th best songs ever made, tender moments, then building up, going down again. It's, well. How life is. And how some of the most beautiful songs ever written is. One that comes to mind is It's All Coming Back to Me Now, or well. Or I mean, Bohemian Rhapsody which people tout as being the best song ever made. It goes full on, then quiet, back and forth. Her audition is one of the best I've ever seen, her talent and voice is special. I totally disagree with her not beign good when full out there. Her voice does this beautiful little crack, it's all in the subtelties. Perfection is boring, those small almost cracks and how her voice sounds going full force sounds insanely good to me. Just pure beauty!

I 💯% agree with you. Sometimes people in the industry look too deep for perfection. Perfection is in the eyes of the beholder, and it boils down to just opinion. I absolutely did not like the way Billie Eilish delivered this song, I feel like her studio recording is far better than her Grammy performance, in that she just practically whispered the song on the Grammys and I absolutely hated it. This girl nailed it in my book.

I’d agree with him a little bit but I think it’s subjective to be truly honest . To want perfection all the time. Lots of great singers were pitchy and not perfect all the time. Yes when you’re recording yes try to stay on pitch but in a live setting where you feed off a crowds reaction they can slip not on purpose but in the heat of a moment kind of thing. It’s happened to Taylor swift to Ariana grande to the Beatles etc the list can go on. They All had Imperfections all be it minimal you don’t want to be totally off key. If you want complete perfection listen to A.I. but id rather listen to a human sing not a robot.

It’s an American Idol audition, like 30 seconds to show off your vocal range and potential of your voice. She is selling her voice to Idol, not putting on an entertainment act. I think it was perfect and probably a lot better than half the artists that walk into studios.

Your problem is, you love the song as done by Billie. Copying her would not bring Abi's talent to the fore. And BTW, the song was written by Billie and her brother who plays piano on her performance at the Grammy awards. He is actually, by her on admission, more responsible for the success of her songwriting. A Producer should never fall for a song so hard that they cannot understand a performance that is different than the original.

You don't want raw talent, because the singer will end up in surgery like Adele or the singer will blow out their voice like Robert Plant did in his 30s. Training to sing for long periods of time requires training and time and labels want singers straight out of the gate.

I enjoyed your critique immensely. I understand your points, and I even agree 100% with you. . . However . . . Abi made me cry! I've seen Billie sing this song several times, and she never made me cry. Not even close. This song is not just about a wistful sadness, but also about Barbie's anguish, fear, and anger at where she's at. Billie doesn't convey any of this. Abi does. I submit that her interpretation of this song is more appropriate for the movie story line. My 2 cents.

I apologize, but I do not agree with Barrett. Not that I pretend to know anything about singing and dynamics, but I loved how she added a little sound to this song. I literally cannot stand the way that Billie Eilish sings it and I hated the way Billie sang it on the Grammys. I want to hear a song. I know there are many songs that require a sweet and quiet voice, but Billie Eilish doesn’t project enough for this song to stand out as the beautiful song that I feel that it is. This girl nailed it in my book but that’s just my opinion. I also I also feel like this girl will go far into the competition of American Idol, and I hope that she does.♥️🤞🏼

Personally I loved this version of the song... and no slight on Billie's version... that is amazing too. I think Abi's version was real and raw and heartfelt, which was evident by her tears afterward. I do think she was trying to show her range for competition sake but I didn't mind it at all. Sometimes it seems a bit bland when a contestant does the song the same as the original. Abi showed she could do both the highs and lows extremely well and I hope she goes far in to the competition.

I believe she made it her song. She cried out in pain a couple of times rather than whisper sing through the entire song. Both ways work, but Abi did need to show the judges some of her other abilities during the two minutes the contestants are allotted. I believe she made smart choices for her audition. (And lo and behold, Luke nailed it! She won American Idol 2024!)

For an audition for a show where they are judging you on your vocal abilities, she had to belt and use full voice to show off her range. I totally agree that the softness of BE’s voice in the song and how it was meant to be is the best choice for this song, but I understand why Abi changed it up for an audition.

I wanted a better explanation, so they encouraged me to take a sneak peek under the sheets, and that was that! I was done all right! Shortly after, I got back to where I once belonged and scribbled the lyrics down on a napkin at Tim Hortons. Fini.

Well, as a (former) musician I agree with everything you said. She's great and her piano playing is REALLY nice. She's definitely top 10 material. But to be a star using your voice, you need the ability to be gentle and to absolutely blast it - and transition between the two easily. Mariah, Celine, Whitney, etc. If you can't do that, you can still be a big star with great songwriting (like Billie and her brother) or great dancing and production (like many others). Anyway, she's awesome and I hope she finds her place.

So interesting - I also felt like the full voice parts weren’t as successful. I actually remember listening to the audition for the first time, and thinking ‘ugh, no’ when she made that small melodic change on the second line. But, I suppose it would be a risk for her not to do that type of thing in the audition. The problem with doing it with this song is that is it one of those rare, perfect little songs where musically, you just don’t want anything to be different. (Well, I don’t anyway).

I totally agree about the "belting requirement" or, as I call it, the need for a "money shot." Joni Mitchell went her entire career (I think) without EVER belting, yet it is SOP these days. Is belting exciting? Yes. Does it add "punch?" Yes. But is it truly necessary in every song? Nope. Billie's proven that, especially with this song. That being said, I f****** LOVE this performance.

I would not characterize her voice at all “operatic.” Certainly emotive. I don’t think she ever sings with an operatic sound. When she gets into her high range, full-throated, it moves me (in this case) although she has to be careful to avoid doing it too much, or she could cross over into an annoying screechiness. In this moment, for this length of an audition, it was perfect for me, and obviously for the judges too. Her runs and her piano playing were also outstanding. Billie and Finneas wrote a beautiful song, but I would prefer to listen to Abi’s version on the radio or live (Billie’s film version needed to be more muted throughout).

It was an audition. The judges heard just what you heard. But because her voice is so amazing, she will go thru and they will nurture her to get where she is suppose to be.

Lionel advised her to make it her own right before she performed, this was her version and i loved it when she went up, just beautiful imo.

full emoting near the top, a tad pitchy, is a fair critique BUT still amazing, and I imagine some people like this imperfection as her unique, youthful personality. Appreciate your perspective as a producer though.

Agree 100% with everything you said. Absolutely gorgeous runs and tone and piano playing and musicality, AND also she 100% didn’t need to power it up to the extent that she did. Also agree that A.I. creates that pressure to overperform. I look forward to seeing what she does. She reminds me of Sara Barrellis.

They have to show there vocal ability to judges ..... Contestants only have a short time to do that with only part of a song! U should know this.

If she didn't use the full voice, the judges won't be able to hear her range

Mr. Jones, just a short note to you. You asked for comments so I will voice mine. You have many years at your work and I feel you know much more then the consistence knows. Should they know what a pro knows? I am glad you like her she is my favorite, I love music and 82 years old. Keep up with what your doing.

Thank you for your insight Barrett Jones. Totally understand your concern & critique for her choice to sing full voice so early & not that she was singing poorly, she definitely was not! It was not required for her full singing voice to emphasize that song frame. Maybe she felt most comfortable to sing full voice at that particular part of the song? And yes, on its own merit: that song stands out on its own. When the movie was first released, I did not pay much attention to the soundtrack, nor when that song was playing & playing & playing….I listened to it, once or twice at the very early stages of its popularity. At that time, was my mistake to not fully embrace the song. The intentions of the song, the lyrics, the melodies & transitions & its overall tempo all of it was constructed perfectly.

I thought it was a brilliant performance. It shows what singing from the heart can truly do for the song. Simon Cowell isn't a judge on American Idol, unless you were referring to the show's producer, Simon Fuller. She also won American Idol season 24. Oh yeah!

If I dare say, it's even better than Billie. Sorry Billie. Abi had to put her own fingerprints on it. They told her to sing it in her own way. And she did.

I agree with every word the producer said. To me when she went full voice it sounded kind of screechy and it took away from the ethereal quality of the song. But overall I loved it.
