This guy doesn't even look into the emotional complexity behind Robert's character, especially in this song. He has a fairly impressive voice but he's not even trying to act the part, he just has this smug little smile on his face the whole time... this song needs to be PERFORMED, not just sung.

Julian Ovden is fantastic, I would love get the DVD as well!
This is perhaps the best "out of context" performance of the song I've ever seen. Well done, Ovenden. You've done this legendary standard justice.
