It has nothing to do with being armchair musicians or artists. If it sounded bad to some people, it sounded bad.

There are no "rose colored glasses" here....despite what some may choose to believe...never felt the man as perfect...only human...nothing more...nothing less...but if i have to accept the label of wearing "rose colored glasses"...then so be it...for i would rather see the beauty in something than forever be picking it apart and searching for the negative.

He sang accapella...something not easy to do, without an ear prompter so he could hear the music...so of course the naysayers knew he wasn't lip syncing....he sounded a bit nervous..but covered it well...maybe a little flat...but then again...not as bad as others i have heard sing the song...as i saw it, he did the song quite well...with finesse...and put himself into it with passion, just as he seems to do with anything he chooses to sing...and i would suspect in his life in general...
