This song exposes his poor technique.

Have to say this too. It (for me anyway) It is one of the most infectious pertormances ever. When you look up the history of the song and its meaning. Its a tiresome song of surrendering to another man (the chief) his love for his daughter and its relation to the missouri river. Torn, tattered and willing to sacrifice his own person to have his own true love. It is very much so reflected in his deliverance, his last and final stand to get her at nothing and only hoping for the chiefs approval.

This shows how much a musician he is and determination to withstand the critics regardless how harsh. I'm a classical singer and people tend to be over critical of my "technique" and have done juries for feedback, they as well can be brutal. If thats my experience in this field I can only imagine what Thomas (Thom) must encounter. If someone reads this they must at least know how the industry is. Really, enjoy its simplicity, his delivery. Screw the nonsense about vowels, breath and phrasing.

LoL YouTube comments crack me up... wonder what some of these professional critiquers sound like. :)

Interesting to all the comments from people who know nothing of music (no music lessons) or nothing about Thomas. I went to grade school with him for six years and high school for one (he was one year ahead of me). So I heard him sing before his voice changed and after. I also attended one of his Masters Classes in 1995. He indeed is one of the best baritones ever.

for god sake you people his not perfect, and even memorable but his performance is quite moving, he's sensible and shows great humanity in his voice and i think that is already great, thanks for posting!

Breathiness, Where? Thomas has become the major interpreter of American Song. It's for a Network Morning Show, put in in context. He was not doing opera, he was doing a Great American Folk Song for a Very Shallow Audience. I think he pretty much hit the mark for the venue...well maybe a bit strained at the end...perhaps you just listened to the end, perhaps not his best moment...but at that hour, prob. not the best time to try a light, high, ending on that combination of vowels.
