The King of Rome I have heard many times and the best ones i have heard are usually from singers with their hearts in the right place; that is not technically singing wise but delivery and understanding without question superb.

It isnt the best singers that necessarily win competitions it is how the feelings are conveyed and the spirit

(altho this was a song competition admittedly)
