Usually I agree with Simon, but not this time! It's 2021, and I still remember this! I can guarantee you Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber remembers this song/performance, based on his tearful reaction to it. ♡
@Kurt777772 жыл бұрын
It always looked to me that Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber did not like David's performance, but I thought it was great. Definitely do not agree with Simon on this one, but he was the only judge I respected because he never sugarcoated his remarks and tried to always tell the truth. It's just his opinion anyway, but David did an excellent job singing this song and I really liked the changes he made to the version that Andrew composed.

I go to as many converts as I can, he is an incredible performer. Soooooooo loved by his fans!! Have you heard him sing "When you say you love me" ?? my favorite!!! if not, look for it here on utube or FB. it makes me cry!!!! and him too when he sang it at a concert in Salt Lake.

I think Paula nailed it ... Turning a song that was written for the theater into a completely different style deserves praise for the risk David took in doing it that way. Even David himself said singing it back to such an outstanding composer in a style so completely different from the way it was written would have to be nerve-wracking. Sir Andrew said it: When that happens, we should all be saying "Bravo!"

Can it be Christine?
