The emotion in both singers is absolutely incredible, with David Daniels there is incredible emotion and such pure diction. he gestures not only with his eyes, but also with his body and color with dynamics. You can tell just by looking at his performance, how much work he put into the song to emote each emotion and phrase to display it honestly.
John Raitt has a slightly different performance tactic, as he is very stern and walks around quite differently on stage as he shows a range of emotion from happy to surprised, sad, and determined. His confidence and intimidation is quite clear as he embodies his character. He also displays his emotion realistically and honestly. Especially how elated he seems at some points in the song.
