I thought so, too — originally. But no, she didn’t. The shortened version of The Prayer was responsible for that awkward transition. How do I know? View her rendition at Mall of Asia — exactly the same abridgement effect. She’s simply so sharp to forget her lyrics. Anyway, full or shortened version she does magnificently. We love you, Jess!
