Th...I liked Lee's comment best about the BOTB. The versions sounded very similar to me. As Lee indicated, the biggest difference was that the QR version sounded fuller. The lead singer also changed some things up with the words and melody line, like veering off and hitting the high notes. That was very typical fare for the 80s and a common device. QR's version is longer than the other one; it repeats more, which is another common denominator for all 80s music.<br /><br />All of that said, I preferred the voice and the shorter version that Mama's Boys chose. I really don't care for the high pitched squealing that QR chose, though many do.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-78415905594686633772013-08-30T12:39:33.920-04:002013-08-30T12:39:33.920-04:00Well, that photo is so beautiful!
