The battle here was on the Dylan song entitled, "Make You Feel my Love."
The challengers: Adele versus Bryan Ferry...
I voted for Bryan Ferry because I wanted a soulful sounding male singing to me. Ha! Oh well. Most of you wanted a soulful sounding female... glad I could assist. :)
Who won? Who lost? >Drumroll....O oOo oOo...
Adele @ 11 votes
Bryan @ 5 votes
Thank you to everyone who voted. I apologize for attempting to close when the vote was 11 - 3. I hated to see Bryan get his tail kicked. It wasn't his fault he got challenged by a sensational, soulful sounding female. (grin)

In her backyard sanctuary she writes lines of love and happiness, and lately lines of sadness. Her babysitter committed suicide; she doesn't have answers. Those three angels visit her for many months. One watches - smiling. The second - looks straight ahead. The third angel is writing in a book. She sees them , wonders if they know, that she sees them? From that time so long ago, until now, I've always loved penning poems. At that age I didn't know it was called poetry. Until recently I didn't know the work, of Robert Zimmerman, (aka, Bob Dylan), was poetry either. To me he was a folk/rock musician with a scruffy voice, and provocative lyrics. My apologies, Mr. Zimmerman, (smile). Today's song: "Make You Feel My Love" ~ Bob Dylan - Lyrics and Composition:
Dylan: "I consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I'll die like a poet."
"Make You Feel My Love" is a song written by Bob Dylan that appeared on his 1997 album, Time Out of Mind.
In 2008, he became the first Rock musician ever awarded a Pulitzer Prize. He was given the special award for his "profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power."
There's an impressive list of artists who've brought this song attention. I wondered which two would embrace those lyrics? Which two would give us a look into the heart of Dylan? In his original recording, he played the piano, backed up with drums, and one guitar. Neither artist I chose actually plays an instrument on their recording. Yet their accompaniment is simple. I can only hope that Bob Dylan, and you the voters, will find these two artists quite expressive of his wonderful poem. Please vote for the one you like. Comments are welcome :)
