That was my problem, too- it's not the style of song she suits. She sounded like she was trying to punch it into submission. But I think NBC figured they'd better get someone people at home might recognize.
Yeah I'm guessing the name recognition was definitely part of it. They also probably didn't want to give American Idol press on NBC with Harry Connick Jr singing the song. He'd have been another obvious choice unless you're the network airing The Voice.
