Which is best?

[Tom]

Here are three different versions of the song "True Colours". Which one do you prefer?

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

[Roger Kettle]

I'd like to hear The Peemaster's version before I decide.

Oh, I'd forgotten about him!

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...

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!

And three more, "Wild Horses"

How many points are we getting for this?
Is there a prize?

You forgot SuBo's version...

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.

You forgot SuBo's version...

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.

I'd like to hear The Peemaster's version before I decide.

Oh, I'd forgotten about him!

IS he incontinent?

[Malc]

No, he's back in the UK

[Tom]

Couldn't resist. After my earlier post, here's Petula Clark, Dolly Parton and Emma Bunton...
