Gentle Readers . . . and Maxwell,
You have until midnight EST today, Tuesday, October 6th, to vote on my Oct. 1, 2015, Battle of the Bands. The song is Jolene. Vote in your comment for Miley Cyrus or The White Stripes.
HERE is the original post.
As a special, added bonus attraction, I hereby provide two more videos by Miley and the Stripes.
A number of you mentioned you liked the way Miley sang in The Backyard Sessions. Well, eat it up.
Miley Cyrus truly has a good voice and needs to cut out the weird crap.
Jack White, on the other hand, will not cut out the weird crap and shouldn't try to do so because it's part of who he is. Here's one of my favorite White Stripes songs:
I feel quite moved by this sweet video.
Remember, you are not voting on these two songs. You're voting on Miley Cyrus v. The White Stripes for their rendition of Dolly Parton's Jolene.
I'll tell you the results tomorrow.
Infinities of love,
Janie Junebug

I don't listen to either of these young ladies. I doubt I'm their target audience.
ReplyDeleteEither of these young ladies? Stephen, wake up and smell the coffee. Those "young ladies" are Miley Cyrus and Jack White. I assure you Jack White is not a lady, though Miley Cyrus probably isn't one, either.
DeleteHaha! Speaking truths!
DeleteGlad you found a little laugh.
DeleteI adore the D-PAN video.
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
It melts my stone-cold heart.
DeleteLiked that video "We are going to be friends"
ReplyDelete13790th "Like" on You Tube with a comment.
Janie, I got here too late, but I do like Miley's version.
ReplyDeleteI'm a longtime White Stripes girl, though the band is defunct now.
DeleteWith Miley, 'they' not only changed her song, but did a major overhaul on the profit margin. "Backyard Sessions" was a great idea. Let her sing!
ReplyDeleteLove D-Pan.
Thanks, Janie!!
God bless you, Dixie dear.
DeleteYes Miley has a good voice she is just a bit weird at times but I do like her voice always have although the D-Pan video was so bloody moving
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the children sign.
DeleteI LOVE that second video. Sorry--I don't care for Miley in this one. She messed up a word or did something weird with it and I was done. Why do that in a really crisp, clear vocal? Something about her that rubs me the wrong way.
ReplyDeleteShe rubbed me the wrong way before I ever heard her sing.
