I'm an aging rocker who grew up on rocknroll in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Had never watched American Idol until late night youtubing brought me Adam Lambert last year. This year it brought me you. This is the best rendition of this song I've ever heard, even better than Carole King. Hope you tour up Seattle way sometime.

StillMe A stellar performance that probably deserved a Standing Ovation. However, Haley provided most of the real highlights of the season. She was far more versatile and brilliant in so many different genres. She should have won. However, I'd certainly place James above Scotty and Lauren - 2nd, or perhaps 3rd to Casey.

James is an amazing singer, now it's 2021, watched this when on Idol 11 years ago! Wish he would have kept covering great songs like this, but instead chose to do his own heavy metal songs with his own band, which I'm not into. Received his first cd as a gift, but his band's hard core music overtook his amazng voice, couldn't even understand or hear what he was singing, a shame. Can't help but think if he'd stayed doing mainstream music, great songs like this one, he would have made it big, so I come here on you tube and listen to him when he was on Idol.
