Seriously, I was nervous with last week’s face off between Johnny Mathis and Jimmy Durante. These artists are about as opposite as night and day with the vocal styles. I feared Mathis would mop the floor with Durante but the majority heard what I heard, Durante’s sincerity and relatability with the lyrics touching a tender place in my (your) heart, so to my happy surprise Jimmy Durante not only rose to the challenge but won this battle (8 to 7).
Special thanks to everyone who took part in this battle round!
A recap of how the votes fell….
Johnny – Willow, Stephen, Sandee, Debbie, Brian, Eugi, & Myke
Jimmy – Mimi, Ellen, Tom, Diedre, Birgit, Lee, Mary, & John

I guess sometimes “character” triumphs over “beauty”. I enjoyed listening to both versions, so I feel the real winner was… me. Ha!
Really goot Battle, CAThy!

Stephen,
Of course, you were the “real” winner! 🤣 You’re such a funny, funny fellow. Thanks for making me giggle!
I’m a sentimental softie and glad he won.
Jimmy was a good entertainer!
Like I said, Jimmy puts a lot of heart into his songs. Glad he won.
ON most songs I think Johnny would have come out on top, but Jimmy does so well with songs like this one. “September Song” is another great performance from him. It was a good match with an excellent outcome.

Great battle, Cathy!
Tight battles are the best! 🙂 Too bad I was on the wrong side, but at least it was close.
Debbie,
No wrong sides here. Johnny Mathis is a fabulous artist. I think most folks connected with Durante’s humble style considering the lyrics is all. Thanks for stopping by!
I’m surprised that Jimmy won.
Have a fabulous day. Hugs. ♥
Jimmy had a big lead at one point before the numbers tightened. It certainly was interesting battle!
