I thought Elana's version of Early Mornin' Rain was the truest rendition to the "feel" of that song of any of the numbers performed. I even thought she sang it better on the second night and she evoked a very sad and lonely feeling when she sang it. It's harder to sing a ballad the way she did than by belting it out like the version of Song for a Winter's Night was performed a-la Celine Dion.

For me, my two favourite renditions of his songs were her version of EMR and Shane's version of The Way I Feel.
