To me she lost the song just by her "creative timing". Singing the proper notes would have helped her too. It was so bad for my ears that I couldn't listen to it all the way through. She has a great voice but I can't stand singers that lag their vocals then catch up four beats later. It causes unrest in a song that should be pleasing. Not my style but that is just me. I think the whole feel of the song was ruined.
Just my thoughts.

Gosh, I respectfully disagree. This is a jazz/soul vocal, not a Presbyterian choir or Aunt Mary singing at her niece's birthday party. I think most musicians would agree that her 'timing' was 'spot on'. Anybody can sing the song 'straight'; a professional vocalist is expected to do something more with it (and she did). However, different strokes for different folks....you either hear/feel it or you don't. I liked it.
