IMO it's petty that he never really sang it live.
I'm no BM fan, but his version isn't horrible. The DR version is obviously far better even with the screwed up voice, but I can't see how 1 cover could ruin the entire song. Even if that version was more successful.
I can understand that he wants to be known the singing that song, but he has covered a handful of tracks that were far more successful than Manilows REAW and he was unlikely to top.
