Yes, it's DINO vs FRANK! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

IN THE SUMMERTIME #BOTB RESULTS

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


This battle featured two female YouTube stars, covering an iconic summer anthem.
Bluesy vs Breezy!

This one went back and forth for a while, but a clear winner soon emerged. I agreed with the majority and chose the bluesy, sexy voice of Sarah Kuri!

SUMMER OF '69 #BOTB RESULTS



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


This battle featured Albertans vs Californians

It didn't take long to see who the dominant favourite was here! I was still on a concert high, having seen Nickelback perform last weekend, so of course, I went with Chad & Ryan also. Still, I though Buckcherry did a good job of making it unique to them.

SUMMER OF '69 #BOTB

WELCOME TO ANOTHER INSTALLMENT OF #BOTB!

 July already?! Summer will be over before we know it!

☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

The title of this song resonates strongly, since my 'Summer of 69' was pretty epic:
- visited Berlin and London 
July - watched the first moon landing on TV
August - relocated from Germany to Canada

SUNNY AFTERNOON #BOTB RESULTS

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


This battle featured an American icon vs a Spanish rock band.

It appeared to be neck and neck at first, but 'Mr. Margaritaville' then pulled ahead. I preferred the 'cool sound' of Sexy Sadie. (Thank you, Nancy!) Oh well...

TITANIUM #BOTB RESULTS

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


This battle featured duelling contestants on talent shows.

 I thought this contest would be fairly close, and boy, was I ever wrong! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ Turns out, with the exception of one "lesser of two evils" vote, all of your preferred Madilyn Bailey's version. As for me, I loved Asher's highly emotional performance, but concur that Madilyn did a great job as well.

OOWATANITE #BOTB RESULTS

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


This battle featured duelling rock bands and a battle of the sexes:
Canadian males vs South African females!


 I thought this contest would be fairly close and it was! The turnout was a little sparse and two BOTB participants didn't vote at all (wassup with that? ๐Ÿค”), which might have made a difference. Anyway, thanks to all who did take the time to play. ๐ŸŒน

It was a dead heat, and I chose the heavier sound of The Dirty Nil to break the tie.

VEHICLE #BOTB RESULTS

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


This battle featured an American Idol alum vs an American-Italian soul singer.

At first it appeared to be a close battle, but then Bo, with help from Richie Sambora, took a strong lead. For me, it was a tough decision. I've been a fan of Wess' since the 1960s, when I lived in Europe. And Bo was my choice to win American Idol. In the end, the slighter slower tempo and Richie's guitar riffs gave Bo the edge.
