What They Sang: “The Prayer” - in tribute to Luciano Pavarotti and other deceased artists
How They Looked: Both Andrea and Josh wore black suits. Josh opted for all black and Andrea went a tad more traditional with a white shirt. Of course, with voices like these two have, who even notices the clothes they are wearing? You get the most out of things when you just close your eyes and listen. The entire performance was beautiful and brilliant.
Performance Value: It doesn’t get much better than this. It’s hard to compare artists like Andrea and Josh to Alicia Keys and the Foo Fighters. The styles are so different. It wouldn’t be fair to compare. That being said, this is what singing is all about. This is what the human voice is sometimes capable of and when it is, all the audience can do is sit there, enjoy and be astounded. I am a classically trained singer with over 16 years of training. When I tell you it pretty much cannot get any better than this, I am telling the truth. Two of the most beautifully voiced singers of all time, this performance really made the evening. The tribute to Pavarotti was touching and the performance stood out.
