Sorry--am I the only one that detests the clip that I heard? I understand the need not to make it sound like the original (after all, then, why not listen to that, instead?), but I hate the phrasing, don't like her lazy enunciation, don't like how she's made a much more profound song into a more trivial one with her cutsey, fake-sultry/pouty vocalizing. I think it's obvious she's got an excellent voice and a lot of talent, but I think she should have kept her hands off this one. I do remember hearing Kenny Rankin's version many years ago, kind of jazzy; I liked it, although not as much as the original.
