New Entry Ranking

1. Good To Be Alive (Hallelujah)
Woo! This one's loose and fun. Feel good, if you will. Good to see this guy back on the charts. Even if no one else thinks so.

2. Hollow
Definitely an improvement over Should've Been Us. This song's really pretty. I can dig it.

3. God Only Knows
Never heard the original, but it definitely sounds Beach Boys-y. Jordan and Adam use their lower ranges to good effect here and the arrangement's pretty good.

4. Mary Did You Know
More Christmas music, yay! I think. Generally I feel Jordan succeeds the most with these hymns. Also congrats on winning The Voice. Even though it was inevitable.

5. Climb Every Mountain
I've seen The Sound Of Music but don't really remember this. Still, Jordan does a good job. Not a lot to say that can't be said of his other covers.

6. Burning House
I prefer Cam's original, her voice just fits better and the production has more punch. Then again this is live. Roberts does it just fine.

7. You Should Be Here
Cole Swindell takes a stab at sentimental country, and it's surprisingly not that bad. Not great, but you know, baby steps.

8. Sorry Not Sorry
Everything feels clumsy and cheap. Tiller's still a douche. Only thing it has going for it is energy.

9. Back To Sleep
This song went from boring to gross by the chorus. Also, "don't say a word no"? Consent is important, Chris, screw you.
