The beauty of the song is how soft and simple vocally it is and how gentle Bic Runga's voice expresses vulnerability. When you just start belting it then you're turning it into yet another self indulgent paint by numbers pop/neo soul song. Singers who make sure every song they "showcase" has a point where they do a high belt or harmony are doing it to scratch their own back. Nothing more. Contrary to popular belief, just cause you can hit the notes doesn't mean you have to. Obviously, it's not a bad performance but it's remarkably less interesting when it has forced emotion instead of genuine sincere vulnerability. The song would never have been a timeless hit if it was presented like this.
Now, why would you do another singer i.e bic runga song!? Not cool ea hollie! She is a true artist and you go and try and better her version?! Why? Ff.s?!
An amazing version of SWAY.... Love it!

This was painful both to watch, and listen to...
A dreadful version of a lovely song. Such a shame.
