Smooth, fluid, and pure. It's almost unbelievable that this kid is only 17 years old, and can sing like this.
His performance on Tuesday was easily the best, and the studio version of the song is just as good. In fact, studio magic makes it even sound better than the live version. One thing that I didn't necessarily care for is how he sticks straight to the melody. Just like Randy said, he could've easily ran the song up and down the road if he was so inclined. Any risk he took in the live version disappears in the recorded version, which makes it a bit safe. This, of course, doesn't take away from the powerful vocal prowess this kid possesses. He sounds pitch-perfect, just as he does live.
My suggestion for future Idol recordings is that he really takes vocal risks. We know he can sing the hell out of a song just on the melody. Now, diva it up a bit. In fact, David, go to YouTube and search "Whitney Live". She does it best!
