With two strong contenders, I was expecting another close battle, but this time, there’s a clear winner. It was going back and forth for the first few days, then Laith started picking up steam. Despite one late vote for Slow Feet, they couldn’t quite catch up. Here’s how it turned out:

SLOW FEET:
Arlee, Cathy, Chris, J. Gi, Larry, Mike, Myke, Pat, Stephen

TOTAL: 9

~~~~~

LAITH AL-SAADI:
Angel Stew, Birgit, C.W. Martin, Cherdo, Chrys, Janie, John, Mary, Michele, Robin, Shady, Yolanda

TOTAL: 12

Either way, my vote won’t make a difference. Several people mentioned it was tough to choose and it was for me as well. Laith’s power vocals and guitar prowess blew me away. Slow Feet’s bluesy arrangement, vocals and musicianship were equally riveting. After listening to each several times, it finally came down to which one triggered the more intense emotional response. Without a doubt, that would be Slow Feet. Their version gave me chills and I’m completely besotted!

Come back here on Sept. 5  (Question of the Month) for more about music and emotions.

and the winner is:
LAITH AL-SAADI
By 2 votes

Here’s the winner in his live performance on The Voice.
The man definitely has talent!

  1. Well… darn the luck… I was so sure I was picking a winner this time around.

    Just wait until next time. I will do better. I just know it.

  2. Oh well, I can’t win all the time, but it was an excellent battle. I enjoyed both groups presented. Looking forward to September’s challenge.
    Have a great week, Debbie.

    1. I chose the less popular version as well, but it was a tough decision. 🙂 There’s another international battle coming up on Sept. 1. Thanks for following my BOTB posts and have a good weekend.

  3. Debbie, Laith Al-Saadi is definitely a good rocker pick for this song, but I still like Slowfeet’s version. They made the song more their own and I liked the slower, metal sound and almost tender vocals. Cool battle!

  4. That was a close one! I’m sticking with Slow Feet the group and as for my own feet they’re just slower these days, but faster than my wife’s.

    1. The close result is fitting, I think since both versions were excellent. Slow Feet was my choice as well. 🙂 As for literal slow feet, I can relate.

  5. You said 2 votes. Am I wrong to say it’s supposed to be 3? Or you didn’t count your own vote in the post, but just mentally did the math, that’s why it’s 2?

    1. I always show how everyone else voted before adding mine. Because I chose Slow Feet, the final differential was two votes. IMO, it should have been a tie. 🙂
