@ Kirkunik1 By syncing, I mean that the sound track isn't synced to the motion of the lips. There's another version of this same occasion on YouTube where they got it right. I saw this one first. I wasn't suggesting Jackie was faking it in any way. The problem here was a technical one, not on...

My BT wouldn't stand for this either. My thumbs get very sore, too. Wish he didn't shed so much.... The allergy thing may be more about the dander. BT's have remarkably clean, odor free coats without much dander, but they do shed. Unlike other dogs I've known, you can pet a BT and your hand...

Great cover of this song, but I worry about the emptiness--lack of sparkle I see in her eyes when she sings. I hope it's just nerves or concentration or that she really only has a "notion" about the meaning of the lyrics and is not a reflection of any lack of "joie" in performing. She looks muc...

What fun to see Simon really laugh!

Wow! Beautiful song beautifully sung. EricBecker710 said Mr. Gary was the only singer of note to record it. No wonder. It's got some unusual intervals. Tough song to sing. Interesting, and clearly a measure of Mr. Gary's ability that he does it so well.

@haikeldaniel123 I'm with you. Best voice? Yup. Annoying? Big time! How about a little humility, Melanie? X Factor, for all its controversy and sensationalism, represents an extraordinary opportunity. Just say, "Thank you very much," and leave the stage. Self-justification is almost always unbec...

I know no prettier duet nor any more beautiful version of it than this one by Dam-Jensen and Semmingsen. I have listened to every one I can find on the internet and I think this one surpasses all--including Sutherland's. I also like Sumi Jo's and Ah Kyung Lee's. Theirs is different, but also b...

I liked his audition more for his interpretation than his musicality. This was a pleasant surprise. This was more--more interpretive and more musical, but he needs to lose the sneer. I suspect he doesn't always know when he's doing it, but he can learn not to do it. Compare Celine Dion perform...

What a beautiful smile! Oh, beautiful singing, too.

I haven't read through all the comments, but has anyone noticed he looks a lot like Val Kilmer?

MrCarbine9 I'm aware that In My Life was written by John Lennon, but it's Bette recording of it in For the Boys that I most associate with it.

adaismeus1 likens Adele to Patsy Cline. Maybe. I'm reminded of Peggy Lee.

Anyone else get the feeling when Jamie announced the name of the song he was going to sing at 1:43 that the blank looks Simon and Danii shared were because they weren't familiar with the song? Simon was singing along by the end, but that's the kind of song it is. Great audition.

I was astounded to see your BT put coins in a piggy bank. Mine puts coins in his stomach. He's been to the vet four times for swallowing metal objects--mostly coins. #1 was a watch. That passed. #2 was four pennies and that almost killed him. The zinc in pennies (not copper anymore) is very toxic...

"Bad things to hear from a doctor who is operating on you..."

"Oops!"

In the Spanish here, the verb "apagarse" means "to go out," but the song is about the lights going back on. Great Britain maintained blackout conditions through much of the war as a defense against the blitz when bombs were "falling from the skies above." The song was a prayer for that day when...

He's got a great voice for a kid, but I can't stand the coy, "I'm so sweet and shy" flirting.

Check out Amanda though! She looks beautiful. Wonderfully feminine outfit, classic hairdo. Very Lee Remick-esque. Lovely.

Amanda and Michael were wincing at the beginning because Jai's start seemed more thin than introspective. Probably due to his nerves, but man, oh man, did he turn it on. "Anthem" is a tremendous song and Jai's pitch, power, crisp pronunciation and vocal quality more than do it justice. Listen to ...

I have trouble with the lyrics of this song, but musically, this is an awesome cover of it!

I like the melody and Bruno's voice is interesting, strong, and true, but l find the lyrics disturbing. I haven't found true love yet, but I'm going to keep on believing it's more about wanting the best for and from someone than a willingness to catch grenades. Compassion, forgiveness, humor, gen...

@eezenwa Who cares? I do. Better is better.

@wyzynathan I like your drawings very much. Do you always start with the right eye? Have you ever worked in oils? Because of the way fill in your masses, I think you would find the transition easy. A lot of drawings are mostly about outlines, but you're good with the abstract shapes. Try oils. ...

Nice song and Basia is great, but I listened to it here and thought it couldn't really be this badly mixed so I went to Amazon and it's the same there. Basia, you HAVE to do something about this. Your wonderful voice is totally overwhelmed by the drums and the violin. It sounds like you're try...

What a magical night of music it must have been to hear Mr. Emmanuel in the dark! I heard Andrés Segovia play in Minnneapolis about six months before he passed. He was about 96 & needed help to walk to center stage. I spotted only one mic hanging high over his head & I don't know if it was activ...

@mierpaul Thanks for labeling the images! I came back and watched the video again and enjoyed learning who everyone was. A few of them I had guessed or found, but it's nice to know. The painting of the expulsion at a river I thought might be the Gualalquivir is not the Gualquivir. I just foun...

@AceofSpades513 You asked if it's a chromatic harp... Check the video at 3:38 and the position of his right thumb as he plays make me think it is.

This version is wonderful. Mark's strong voice and Buddy's sweet, true musicality make for the best, most touching rendition I've heard. The harmon...

For anyone not familiar with Journey's version, check you their 1994 in New York version here on YouTube.

Sally lost?? You've got to be kidding! This was a wonderful performance. All of her covers were. Did you see Ronan after she finished singing? He smiled during it, but afterward he didn't look at her--didn't applaud. Nasty. I'm done with X factor Australia!!

Ish. He needs lessons in enunciation. Forgettable song. The judges stood to applaud?? omG Hopeless.

What an extraordinary performance! Simplicity glorified. Pitch perfect. Poised, fun, delightful. Wonderful audience--one more interested in hearing the music than in hearing themselves scream.

I still think "God-given right to be loved" would be a better line than "God-forsaken".

Unbelievable that Simon and Louis dissed this performance! What she normally does with dance,she did this week with her voice. She embellished the melody, made it her own, showed that she can deliver a beautiful ballad,& gave the prettiest version of this standard I've ever heard. The staircase k...
