She seemed to be trying to do the more subtle-vocal approach, like she did on CNN Heroes (which remains her best ever Beautiful rendition.) It just wasn't executed quite as well.

flawless legend is legend.

It was impressive. I don't think she'll ever be able to belt clearly again though. She still did amazing though but also oversang too much for my liking.

That was so good!!!! Loved it!!!!!

The Cover was Nice & impressive. But it wasnt smooth, nor did she go for the high notes which could have made the song better.

Flawless. She's just flawless.

I love it!!!
she's not over-singing it

it was flawless as always, i love her voice here.

Beautiful - #270 itunes USA

That was beautiful indeed, such a good performance.

She did a good job!

But I'm kinda of worried because it seemed like she couldn't really hit the high notes!

CNN Heroes was so much better!!

It was ok. A mixture of oversinging, but also UNDERsinging the big notes from the studio version. She avoided singing them live.

Exactly. She clearly avoided singing the really difficult notes.

liked it

She still can hit those notes.

Here she hits a semitone higher than the ones she usually hits doing Beautiful live.

usually i take every chance to drag her but this performance was really good. "beautiful" never gets old.

There have been better Beautiful performances, but I loved it nevertheless. Clearly, she can't open a new era without performing this song.

I was looking all over for this video because I missed it. I love the tone of her voice, and I love how she goes from low notes to higher notes.
