Thanks for dropping by today to find out who did it better in last week’s A Thousand Kisses Deep BOTB showdown! My two female contenders were such a contrast to the original by Leonard Cohen. Athina Maria cover was simple just her voice and piano. No crazy runs or growls or other vocal tricks. Her sound was pure and this is why she wound up in my battle. Sadie Paton’s style is different. The thumbing of the drum in the beginning mirrors ones own as she bewitches the listener with her voice over an acoustic guitar strumming wowed me and I believe as it did many of you because in this showdown Sadie won this tight battle!
Let’s take a look at how the votes fell.
John, Lee, Brian, & Birgit favored Athina
Tom, Diedre, Sandee, Mimi, Ellen, & Debbie preferred Sadie
Thank you, Tom from Shady’s Place Music and Memories for mentioning that Sadie is the daughter of Pilot’s lead singer, David Paton.
Jot down April 1st, that’s the date of for my next showdown so that you can cast a vote in that battle round. All participators are listed in my side menu below the BOTB banner. Tomorrow, I’m joining Rain’s Garden for TAD. If you’re in Blogosphere, I hope you’ll stop by for a visit. This is CAAC signing off, have a bandtastic day! X💋, Cathy
