Wasn't that something? Now that was a REAL performance in every sense of the word. Heartfelt and moving because it came from a very deep place in the performer. This is why I detest the way on TV show singers will say "And now, performing [song-name] by [original person who sang it], here is ...". That loses the story part of it entirely. Can you imagine if the introduction had been "And now, singing "Dance with my Father Again", let's give a big hand to Signature!" How much less would the performance have been?
