I must be the only person who isn't just amazed by this cover. Sorry.
No, not the only one.
Everyone has their own taste in music. Doesn't make them right or wrong. It just is.
Maybe not the only one, but one of a very few I imagine. And it does make them wrong and stupid and tone deaf.
Maybe so, I still don't care for it. Singing "The Sounds of Silence" as a power ballad is too much contrast for this old Simon and Garfunkel fan.
I fight against the tendency to judge songs by the original. I don't want the original to make me unable to appreciate the great cover songs that other singers perform. Below are 2 different versions of the Sounds of Silence song. I hate all the crying in the first video, so I closed my eyes and just listened. It is well performed in my opinion, different but good. The second video has it good points as well. Perhaps I have been watching "The Voice" for too long.
