Totally agree, especially if it's a difficult song to perform. I'm just judging songs as they are, not comparing them to the originals to see how close they are or how far outside the box they are. Now if I already know the original and have a baseline for how it 'should' sound, I will have a better idea of where they are sticking to the original and where they are deviating, but I'm not really taking either of those factors heavily into account
