Composure, Cathy, you gotta have composure. Breathe. Good. Now, let’s get down to business. This last battle started off heavily in favor of The Hoax, but Macy Gray managed to gain momentum, but she didn’t snag enough votes to take the lead. The final count was…

The Hoax 11

Macy Gray 7

For the most part, everyone (including myself) preferred The Hoax funkiness who kept their cover closer to Stevie Wonders vibe over that of Gray’s slower, moodier version. It was interesting to see how the margin narrowed between the two contenders and in the end I was happy it wasn’t horribly lopsided one way.

I decided to go with a theme for this battle and with Halloween at the end of the month, then I elected to use Stevie Wonder’s 1973, not included in the showdown, hit song Superstition.

Introducing contender #1, a new-to-me British Blue band, The Hoax. What surprised me to learn is this group has been around 20 years and I’m just now hearing them.  What’s with that? Oh, well…here they are doing Stevie Wonder’s #1 tune, Superstition.

Contender # 2, is another new-to-me artist. This America R&B jazz singer/song writer’s unique vocals style steps Wonder’s song pace down a notch bringing something different to this cover. Kindly listen to Macy Gray!
