American Idol: Moodagent compares Casey James and John Lennon singing Jealous Guy

This week, American Idol contestant Casey James performed Jealous Guy. Moodagent shows how — and how little — James changed the mood of the John Lennon hit. The mood profile shows his cover has different settings for just 2 of the 5 sliders: he softened Lennon’s passion (red) and happiness (yellow). Otherwise, he matched the mood profile originally laid down by Lennon and earned accolades from Simon Cowell for his rendition.

As you can see, even with only a minor change in mood, each version of Jealous Guy generates a different playlist from my personal music collection. What playlists do you get?
