Awesome

[@tomberge5078]

That was fun to watch .

[@paulhooson6850]

A pretty fair version of this very difficult song, which relies on a very skilled lead backed up by well timed backup singers and the infectious R&B music.

Janis sounds great but I like the original arrangement much better!

Oooooof. Janis is wonderful but she doesn't have great support in the band or singers
