SILVER BELLS #BOTB RESULTS

WELCOME BACK TO BOTB! 
It’s time to announce the results of the December 15th showdown.

It's the battle of the crooners!
Dean Martin vs Michael Bublé,
Classic vs Contemporary,
American vs Canadian.  

Both of these superstars recorded excellent versions of Silver Bells,

but most of you preferred Dino, the King of Cool, as did I. 

Here’s how it went down:

MY DECEMBER #BOTB RESULTS

WELCOME BACK TO BOTB! 
It’s time to announce the results of the December 1st showdown.

This battle featured a mournful Linkin Park song.
Probably not the best choice for the "festive" season! 🤔

Both covers were by unknown bands: The Lost, from Texas, and Deine Lakaien, from Germany.

Most people thought the German band was too depressing, intense, etc., and The Lost won by a landslide! 

I love dramatic music, so I chose Deine Lakaien. The vocals and melancholy vibe won me over completely. (Must be the German in me! 😉)

Here’s how it went down:

I chose competing covers of the same song this time, but it's not Christmas-specific.
