Although, it is officially spring the weather hasn’t felt a lot like it. However, these signs of spring are evident. Winters in general tear the highway up horribly but the heavy rains we had this month destroyed the roads even more. I don’t know which is worse the potholes or the repair job?
Last Friday, I put three different cover artists on center stage asking you to name your favorite. It was a hard choice, I know with the haunting female vocals, the Celtic-like instrumental, and a ukelele playing male singer but isn’t that the point of these battles to challenge your ear? *smack forehead* Sure it is! Before I go on, let’s take peek at how you know it’s spring.
I don’t care how warm it gets, you won’t find me getting the paper in my underwear unless that is I subscribe to the daily mews online. The way I see it there is only so much sexiness my neighbors can take and one look at me is like an overload! 🤣
Now it’s time to find out how the cover artists in BoTB Round 6 ‘Lullaby of Spring’ showdown (you’ll also find linkbacks to other participators who are also sharing results today) did and to see if your pick is the winner.
I felt each performance merited a spot in this battle and found reasons to enjoy each. Most liked the haunting quality of the female Dali artist, most didn’t like Sina’s instrumental cover because it was too long, and while some said Brian’s vocals weren’t the best they preferred the ukulele version.
I have to ask, do I really need to do the breakdown? Yep, you know it, one singer took quite a few of the votes showing an obvious forecast of the winner nearly from the start. Things didn’t change, either. In these participants’ opinions — Sandee, Lee, Stephen, Birgit, Debbie, Mary, Cherdo, Anne Marie, Myke, & McJadeli DALI (an anonymous singer) is the best giving her 10 votes. Whereas Tom & John voted for the instrumental cover of Sina and the others — Brian, Sandy, Mike Spain, & Mimi went with the ukulele player, Brian.
I was a bit surprised how heavy the vote went for the Dali gal and how few liked the instrumental arrangement. I wasn’t expecting this outcome but I appreciate your time in picking the winner.
Congrats go to the unknow Dali singer securing 10 votes and making her the winner in BoTB Round 6!
At this point, I generally like sharing another song by the victor but this chick made things difficult for me to do since I wasn’t sure what to put up and so I thought why not feature one of Donovan’s most popular songs? ‘Mellow Yellow’ released in 1966 rising to the #2 spot on the US Billboard Hot 100 charts; peaking #8 in the UK charts the following year.
I’m helping a friend to promote her newest book, Survival of the Fittest, and before you hop away please check out yesterday’s post. Thanks for stopping in today for a few laughs and to learn the stats in my last battle. That’s a wrap for now but the mewsic continues and consider yourself invited to hit the dance floor with your choice mewsic picks on Mondays Mewsic Moves Me!
XX, Cathy
