I agree it was kinda weak. Check out her version of Leon Russell's "A Song For You" which starts at 10:50. Beautiful song, sung from the piano.

She sung that beautifully. I was hoping she would sing Purple Rain in a similar fashion rather than the one chorus by itself. But man that woman has lost none of the beauty in her voice.
