Hi Kate, If I'm remembering correctly, the song was "Gravity". The whole thing and a few other songs are on her website: http://www.viennateng.com/high/music/download.html. The piano sound was clearer when she was on the show, maybe because there was very little accompaniment by the show band. I think it's a beautiful song. The intimate sound of her singing and piano playing reminds me of Tori Amos, but without Tori's dramatic breathing and stool straddling (which is so distracting when I see her perform I can't pay attention to the music). Vienna Teng seemed a little self-conscious and uncomfortable. It might have been her first nationally televised appearance. That's enough to make anybody nervous. I found such genuineness very appealing, in addition to being captured by the music. Debra Shea
