I am dc ~ relief, and my battle featured the song, "Sisters" from the 1954 movie, White Christmas. I pitted Rosemary Clooney's version against Peggy Lee's version.
For the first 48 hours, Peggy took the lead and I thought I'd be looking at a shutout or a really bad blowout. The count was 5 - 1 with Peggy in the lead. Suddenly there was a strong turn around, as Rosemary picked up 10 votes. Two last votes came in for Peggy and the count stood at 11 - 7 with Rosemary out front - but not by much!! I enjoyed Peggy's version but my heart kept leaning towards Rosemary. In the end, I voted for her.
Final tally:
Rosemary Clooney @ 12 votes
Peggy Lee @ 7 votes
Thank you, everyone for taking time out to vote. I know many are involved with April's A-Z Challenge... as am I, in minion capacity this year. I can't wait to check other's battle results as there were a few hot ones that gave me a tough time.
Today's result post brings a different video but features Rosemary Clooney singing both parts. This is straight from the movie... and especially sent out to FAE... one of our two event hosts. By the way... A very special thank you to our event hosts:

It is a fun musical!
ReplyDeleteI've always liked it.
DeleteOh, no... Sorry I didn't make it in time to vote, Dixie. Yes, the A2Z is kicking my measly behind :D I'll do better for the 15th, promise.

I understand! I did A-Z last year and Minion work too. It will accumulate fast. No problems, Guilie. See you on the 15th.
DeleteThanks Dixie. I giggled through the entire thing. I love that movie and watch it every Christmas. That is my favorite number even though it really has nothing to do with the Holiday. This was a GREAT battle with an outcome I really enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. I struggled not to give a spoiler alert in my response to your comment.
DeleteThank you very much. Now I'll have to see if Hank won at your place! Fingers crossed!
Yes, I picked the winner. I'll be posting results tomorrow. I always wait 7 days for each BOTB post.
ReplyDeleteI came in real early this time Jeffrey. It's been a week of doctors, with a brain MRI on Friday.
DeleteGlad you won this one!
Looks like I was on the losing end here, but both versions were good. I remember that scene from the movie! Funny stuff. Doing BOTB as well as AtoZ is a bit overwhelming, but I managed to get my results post done. Whew!
ReplyDeleteI feel for all BOTB-ers doing the A-Z. It is tough keeping up. I'm trying to read all of the posts, plus Minion work.
DeleteNot to worry - Peggy Lee will return later.
Nice Battle, PIGTAILS!
ReplyDeleteYou know what I always say: "Any time it's within a five-vote margin..."
The doctor you're seeing tomorrow, his name isn't Pinky, is it?

Ha ha ha! Pinky is my bookie! Then again, he enjoys messing with my head, (smile).
DeleteWow. The votes don't usually roll in like that. Turned out to be a close battle!
ReplyDeleteI know, Robin, it was a surprise to me!
DeleteAhhh, now I miss Danny Kaye. How'd ya do that?
ReplyDeleteNice battle, my friend.

Cherdo, that's a movie clip. I copied & pasted the link in.
DeleteI'm sorry I'm behind with all BOTH-ers A-Z posts. I'll get there soon.
After I voted and went back for a second listen I began to think I should have voted for Rosemary, but I'm still happy with my vote for Peggy.
