I'm a fan of hers but that was rough. It's a hard song to sing in tune and suits more of a jazzy/standards voice than an operatic one. All they had to do was have Harry Connick Jr or Michael Buble sing it. She's a coloratura soprano. Just not a good fit. At least it wasn't the Empire State of Mind debacle of Belmont day where the network actually went to commercial early to end the wretched noise that rather anonymous girl was putting out.
