What I didn't like, and this may just be me, is that he changed a few of the lyrics. This may not have been intentional because he probably would have had to remember a lot of songs at that time, but, I don't know. I don't like when they do this. By all means, interpret the song, but I don't like how they change the words unless the composer's given his blessing.
And it just distracted me.
Either way, I don't think it tops Meat Loaf or Rob Evan's performances.
