I have seen carrie live twice. She is such a great vocalist with unbelievable talent. I still tear up when I hear this song. she sings it in her concerts on occasion and they changed the instrumentation up a bit. I think it’s better than the george michael version, not because I don’t like him but they are very different versions.

Josh Delcore asked me to put his name in a blog post. I thought this would be a great place. He can come and enjoy this lovely performance. I think that Carrie gave the song her personality and that is important.

She looked beautiful as always, and she sounded amazing! Even Joshua Delcore agreed with me!

I guess George Michael was too busy to hear this awesome rendition of this song? It was an excellent performance. Keep it up, Carrie!

SHE’S AMAZING! She’s probably my favorite Idol to date…..Followed by Kelly.

This was an increible performance.. I was about to cry

For the record Carrie’s always been one my least favorite Idol winners, not because she isn’t a great technical singer (she definitely is) but because she never made me feel anything when she sung…until this. I’d forgotten George Michael wrote this and I had to go back to hear the original. He’s still superb but the dated arrangement takes away from it. Now I realize that when given a worthy song, she can be tremendously affecting as I’m still moved by her performance; a clear and obvious high point for her.

George Michael is quoted as saying “No event inspired the song. It’s my way of trying to figure out why it’s so hard for people to be good to each other. I believe the problem is conditional as opposed to being something inherent in mankind. The media has affected everybody’s consciousness much more than most people will admit. Because of the media, the way the world is perceived is as a place where resources and time are running out. We’re taught that you have to grab what you can before it’s gone. It’s almost as if there isn’t time for compassion.”

I didn’t love this song or the performance. I don’t think people have abandoned God but think we are all searching for guidance.

Besides that, I thought Carrie looked very disconnected and didn’t seem to get the right message across.

The song doesn’t doubt God’s presence, it’s saying that we’ve abandoned Him…
