BOTV13

3, 1, 2, 4.

I didn't like any of the versions very much, know about one or two others that would have cleaned the field! But watch this: My list = Sheena's in Reverse!!

1: v. 4 Short and effective, clean arrangement, no extravaganza.
2: v. 2 Good voice, the original or close to it. Overdone instrumentation.
3: v. 1 Nothing much with the singer, very average performance.
4: v. 3 A brave attempt, but too different! I didn't get the idea.

So now, after two jurys finished, we're back to the start!

2,1,4,3 here, Would love to know the artist responsible for version 1 its got me pondering.....

I'll go along with Jamie - 2, 1, 4, 3. Four is just too fast, and three is too much like elevator music.

For me it was no contest, #2 outshown the others by a mile, #4 wasn't bad either.

2, 4, 1, 3 for me too... not that I'd buy any of them! Don't really like the song that much, I'm afraid. Some interesting variations, though.

2,1,3,4 for me, Roy.

2, 4, 1, 3 here, Roy.

20% " Mike Pender
10% " Carl Wayne
0% " Glen Campbell though as can be seen by overall result, chosen as second favourite by quite a few.


Thanks again to those who participated

Damn. I voted for Mike Pender as my favourite. Can't believe it. That is even worse than the fact that i didn't recognize him. Still, since i once chose Smokie's version as my favourite, it's not that bad in the end.
