That is so cool even though the majority of us here never thought the arrangement fit the song. I hope he/she wins. Its a fine arrangement but does not do Songbird justice.

I hate the Grammy awards like all of these award shows. How Buckingham/McVie did not get nominated for best duo is a disgrace.

Further evidence of the bizarre!

One thing the orchestral version does do is showcase the vocal. I always loved the way she sang the song but when I heard this version I was gobsmacked by her voice. Not sure why I noticed it more, but I did.

I had the same sensation. Her vocal on the track is beautiful and really does stand out.
