Heaven Can Wait and Objects from LATW come to mind, and that's because there were actually a few painfully wrong notes in there. That's not to say he's not a decent piano player (like I could do any better  ), but he never actually struck me as an amazing piano performer like Justin does.
I dunno, maybe it's just me  |
I agree that Jim's playing seems a bit sloppy to me sometimes. But, having said that, at other times, there's no one I'd rather hear play those songs. There's something to be said for expressing emotion as opposed to technical perfection.
I do think Justin is fantastic, though. If there's one player he reminds me of, it's Bruce Hornsby.
