Ms. Gaga's Sound of Music medley blew me away, too, but not far enough to make me a fan :) Still, I was sure I'd vote for her, just by default: like you, that nasty Titanic song crossed Celine Dion out on my list (the movie didn't help none, either). And then I took a listen. And everything changed. My vote goes, against every grain of my prejudices, to Celine. That was one WOW version of a classic. (Good decision to keep Edith out of the battle, though... That would've probably been a shut-out.)<br /><br />Excellent battle, Janie!

Plus, she looks like Jenny McCarthy here.
