Is there such a thing as the PERFECT song for you? ....

[Glen]

Boltons is the best by far. Just so much more passion and spark.

Definitely, it has that ''magic''

2nd listening of Cher I thought her performance is good, it's the backing singers that ruin it for me.

2nd listening of Bolton's, still thought he did a great performance.

2nd listening Sunstorm, still liked theirs best so that's the one that got added to my playlist Yaaayy!!

 

 

I love that Cher album, but my one minor gripe with it would be that the backing vocals are a little too much at times. Too loud, too obnoxious. Best example of it is 'Emotional Fire.' Killer song, just too much towards the end, in terms of backing vocals.

 

Anyway, I'd probably have to agree that the Sunstorm version is my personal fave too.

Oooh 3 - 2 to Bolton at the moment

It's tight, though. I could argue for both, but I think I just like the more "guitars-ish' version from Sunstorm.

[Mr.AOR]

Always loved this track.

The question is which do you think is the better version?

1. Sir Michael

2. Cher

3. Sunstorm

Lol. I see I'll have to check Michael Bolton out a bit more. I think I've always got him mixed up with Michael Buble

Was pretty close for me too, the keyboards put me off Bolton's version....but then strictly speaking I guess it means we're not comparing them based solely on the singers' performances

The music in the Sunstorm one is better, but although JLT is a great, great singer, i agree with Glen about the passion that Bolton brings to it.

It is very close though.

[Darkstone]

Speaking of JLT, a great example of his brilliance.

Just when I thought I was gonna have a Michael Bolton day, I realised I don't have any Michael Bolton on my DAP. I'll have to fix that tonight.

[martinsane]

This one probably fell under a few radars as it was the 90's but it is a stellar tune!

[martinsane]

Ah and this one is super smooth as well...

[Stefan]

This. Phenomenal. Classic.

This "Khymera" track never fails to cheer me up. Very much a "feel good" song.

 

[Gotthardline]

I love that kymera song
