JULY #BOTB RESULTS

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

This battle featured two relatively unknown male vocalists, Micky from the UK,
 and Finnian from Australia, covering a Noah Cyrus (Miley's little sister) tune.

It was a tough choice for many of us, me included. Both versions were excellent and I had to listen a couple of times. In the end, Micky's rough-hewn vocals resonated more.

HERE'S HOW IT WENT DOWN:

MICKY
Arlee, Birgit, Chris, Debbie, Stephen

Total: 05

FINNIAN
Anonymous (Who are you??), Cathy, diedre, Judge Al (Stephen's bro), Mary

Total: 05

Holy Crap! It's a tie!!

Oh well! Better than a shutout. 

CONGRATULATIONS TO

Micky AND Finnian!

RAINY DAY IN JUNE #BOTB RESULTS

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

This battle featured an international cast of artists:
Gene Pierson (born in Italy, famous in Oceania) & Clas Yngström, a Swedish composer.

The turnout was slightly better this month, but still fairly sparse. Oh well, summer weather beckons...

Time slipped away from me as well, and I must apologize for not responding to the voting comments, or getting the results in on time. 

Most of you preferred Clas' version, as did I. Gene captured the spirit of The Kinks' song well, and the thunder was a nice touch, but I cannot resist great guitar riffs and Clas had plenty of those! 🔥🎸🔥

Here’s how it went down:

FIRST OF MAY #BOTB RESULTS

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

This battle featured Mari Wilson vs Cilla Black, two fabulous British singers.

The turnout was even more sparse than last time, which is disappointing. 😢 Here's hoping for better results next month!

Most of you preferred Cilla's version, as did I. The original Bee Gees song holds many special memories for me. I have a hard time accepting any covers, but Cilla captured the spirit it of it, so I had to choose her. Not that Mari didn't do a great job, too!

HEY JOE #BOTB RESULTS

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

This battle featured Wess & The Airedales, an American/Italian funk & soul band vs Tim Rose, an American singer/songwriter.

The turnout was a bit sparse, possibly due to bloggers being preoccupied with the April A to Z Challenge. No matter! The show must go on...

At least there was more of a contest, unlike last month's blowout!

Jimi's version of Hey Joe has long been a favourite of mine and I thought Tim Rose actually improved on it by changing the lyrics and making it even darker.

On the other hand, Wess & The Airedales' funky take was a complete departure and downright infectious! After much deliberation, I cast my vote for them. 

Here’s how it went down:
