Are you kidding?!! It's a LOT of fun, Roy!! It took me a while to get into the habit to arrive here on time (typical female), now I'm addicted -- keep the fun going!!

Cheers from across the Big Pond -- to the Brits for all the beautiful music, particulary, The Searchers!!

Thank You

I just listened to all three of the posted versions again... What struck me about Barbra Streisand's version is that she uses her voice like a musical instument (as indeed it is), but without any attention to the meaning of the words - just the music. And of course she's very good - if you listen to her as if her voice was a clarinet, for example, it's great.
Hope all that is comprehensible
And I voted for Cher previously because her version was new to me, which gave it a particular appeal - but having listened again, it does lack dynamics - so finally, my preference is Cilla. Don't know if your polling system allows for second thoughts Roy...? ... but at least the world and Cilla know how I feel, and that's what counts

Nick: I appreciated your comments with regard to Streisand's version very much. I would agree that there may be an emotional disconnect so to speak in aspects of the sound. Your analysis with regard to her voice does make sense to me.

Cilla on this one..better interpretation imo

Cilla Black.

tahnks again to all who took part

Clear winner - Cilla Black
