There's a significant difference in the recording and sound systems, as well as the instruments used in the second performance. The performance was pretty good, but the guy really needs to improve his diction. His phrasing is a bit on the lazy side and some of the wording seems to be somewhat slurred. I've always considered diction as a critical component of any vocal performance. Obviously, many of the top entertainers do as well--they take diction lessons from one of the best in Nashville.
Cheers,
Gary
