Crum began the song a cappella, showcasing his powerful voice from the first line. It continued to build up into an even bigger and better-sounding power-ballad. The control over his voice, range, and pipes were quite extraordinary in his execution. Choosing to cover any Elton John song is a risk to undertake, but it is safe to say that this risk paid off for Crum.
With a dynamic performance of this caliber, Crum was able to leave the judges, fans, and listeners in goosebumps. Vocally, Crum proved that he is in a league of his own. He was able to alternate between high and lower registers and he made it seem effortless. It earned him a huge standing ovation, and rightfully so.
