Last week’s BOTB competition wasn’t weighted evenly among the three contenders. In this round, there was one clear winner pretty much right from the start and it won’t come as a great shock to learn Pat Benatar captured most of the votes.
Did you know Pat’s 1982 #3 Mainstream Rock Tracks Chart is a cover?
Wiki says, Pat’s rendition is slightly different from two previous versions and goes on to say with her release, it garnered her a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Performance with this song.
I enjoyed all three contenders more so than I originally did pulling this battle together. There’s something special about each one and it certainly wouldn’t be an easy thing for me to settle on just one. Motley Crue wasn’t left totally out of the battle and Twisted Ringos’ understated rendition garnered enough attention to make things interesting. Pat Benatar being the rock star that she is passionately poured her heart into her cover and that’s why I believe she walked away with the victory. I appreciate each of you for taking part and making this showdown fun!
This is how the votes fell…
