Idol Norway contestant covers "First We Take Manhattan"

A new season - and the 10th anniversary - of the Norwegian version of Idol is well on its way here in Norway. I don't normally watch all of these singing and talent shows, but I am watching this season due to one particular contestant - Steffen Jakobsen. He has become famous and well-liked for his low-pitched voice, and has previously released a self-made record with country covers and a few original songs.
Anyway, last week he did a cover of Leonard's "First We Take Manhattan", and I thought I would share the clip with you all here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LD-obt8-Dg.
The cover vs. original discussion has naturally come up, but I won't go there; I will just practice my right to appreciate and like both versions. I hope some of you will like it as well.
