He's starting to impress me now. He is actually more easily understandable with the fast lyrics at the beginning than Freddie was and is adding musicality to his performance in both voice and piano. I hope to see more of this.
On another note, it greatly bothers me that the piano was closed. Closed piano muffles the sound so much and to put it way back in the room it was placed in is baffling to me. Why let so much sound get lost where nobody can hear it? I'm guessing the entire music track (and maybe even his vocals) were pre-recorded as it would be insanely hard to line it up exactly with him starting on piano and bringing in the other part when needed. Lastly, why does Ellen have a Yamaha when they should have a Steinway?
