I like performances where the artists show real emotion and feeling and where they interpret the writers intent and involve the listeners feelings and emotions and where the listener will seek out that song to relisten to.

I feel that only two artists have completely satisfied those conditions this year.

Ruth with Purple Rain and Knocking on Heavens Door and Diana with most of her performances.

Thoughts?

Rachels No Good, Chasing Cars, Feelin good, No drama, Lost in music were my personal favs. Rachel is miles ahead imo atm, in feeling, emotion and interpretation

Dianas Call me was both suprising and amusing.

Ruths Purple Rain was good, as was Heavens Door on Saturday. The others haven't yet caught my attention in nearly the same way :yawn: yet!

From the Live shows, either 'Candyman' or 'Without You' both by Alexandra
Before that would have to be either 'Listen' or 'First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' both by Alex at the Judges's house.

Favourite so far was Ruth with Purple Rand ...

I also liked most of the performances from Big Band week so they can all share a joint second place.. Except for eggnog and daniel
