I see the problem, she is flat in some area's of the song.... she needs to listen to herself... I think she needs to relax a little too. I can tell she is nerves. One thing she does have going for her and that is her Beauty.
Yup, a little voice training and some practice beforehand would have helped a lot here. Of course, to be fair this take might have been at the end of a gruelling concert when her voice was tired .... Still, it's a fascinating song and Bonnie sang it and still sings it best.
@757optim Listening to this, my first thought was how George Michael is the only other artist that can do this song justice. This version just stinks. Is she a singer or a mode... I can't tell.
Terrible, sorry. Wrong genre for her. And Bonnie has BY FAR the best version ever. It was written for a middle aged woman. If you don't get that, then you have not listened to the words and the way Bonnie sings it. It is SAD and she is the ONLY one that ever got it right. ALL other versions are too fast and upbeat. GM is a great singer but he missed the IDEA of this song.
She smokes, I'm guessing. And yes all who say she is flat are correct- not that I am an expert or anything but I agree is what I am saying. And She does not have a good voice- I would not buy an album of hers, she does not move me. Harsh but true. and to those who say Bonnie's version is better- WTF? Have u not heard the perfection in GM's vocals-heard being the operative word kind of answers my question though- maybe you dont have a musical ear?!lol! Bonnie's is 2nd to his. FACT!.
The beginning of every single note is all breath. I mean, I know that can be a certain vocal style, but I wonder if she could even control the breathiness if she was asked to. My vocal coach would have have her head on a platter. Plus, is it just me, or is she flat?
she is very pretty, but pretty much off key through the whole song. Love her vocal sound, although she needs to start feeling the music instead of following the band.
George Michael? You're joking, right? GM has a few good songs, I admit it, but this is not one of them. Bonnie's version, the original of course, was the best, until a little guy, with the best voice ever, dared to sing it. Go ahead and look for it, his name is Will Downing. And by the way, Deanna's version is not that bad, probably with a better arrangement, because her voice is beautiful.
Definitely not her best. I really like Deanna, and I think she did well rising to the challenge INXS put in front of her when they gave her this song. This was an OK performance for someone who doesn't make this type of music.
Check out Long Train Runnin'. That was one of my favorite performances out of both seasons of Rock Star.
This was a very un-INXS-like song. I thought this was a terrible choice for anyone on the show to sing. Great song, but just not here. Deanna was the most "star ready" on the show IMHO.
I don't see what you guys are whining about. This is a nice arrangement that suits Deana's voice. Why would you even want Deana to try and copy Bonnie's vocals? The whole point of a cover version is to do it differently!
Keep in mind, she didn't choose this song. Deanna is a power rock singer. Her performances bring down the house, but she needs songs where she can belt it out and work the stage.
well if you people just know music you could actually determine that the song was rearranged that's why the nots are quite different and not that she misses them...conclusion she is not a copycat
She really sucks. She sounds like she should've been able to sing this, but instead she makes all the notes really short and choppy! I agree that it doesn't give Bonnie justice! Turn it off!
