Post by: Vulture on March 15, 2010, 05:57:56 AM: Oh, dear....
Cyndi Laupa:
Visually: too painful, very sixties
Sound: couldn't understand a word except for 'true colours'..

Phil Collins:
Visually: so damned earnest - more than the song warranted
Sound: a bit husky, but OK

Sheena Easton:
Visually: what the hell was the serious face and staring eyes about?
Sound: to slow, no feelings, reading from a cue card...

imo; Phil

Post by: Tom on March 15, 2010, 10:05:26 AM: I couldn't find Peeps' version on You Tube. And I agree with Vulch that Phil's is the better version of the three.
Here's another three versions to choose from, 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina' this time...

Post by: Vulture on March 15, 2010, 10:59:51 AM: Nice choice, Tom. Well, in my humble.....

Donna:
Visually: plastic features,
Sound: no feeling

Sinead:
Visually: little girl
Sound: voice lovely, but weak

Sarah:
Visually: startled bird, twitchy head and body movements
Sound: if I don't look at her, fantastic voice with feeling!

No, no points and no prizes.
I just thought it would be a bit different to have a Music Monday. I like to hear different interpretations of songs and was interested to see what you all thought.

I was debating whether to include Susan's version, but decided not to, and keep to the three versions as earlier. Maybe I should have, as I do like her version.
