I like Motown, but I actually abstained on that one as I don't like either song.

there is no comparison for me. Back to Life is a song I love and never bored of, and has been on my playlist for many many years.

Back To Life is a song I remember hearing early on in my life, and I've always loved it. Sometimes it's just the song that something comes up against that people prefer for whatever reason - doesn't mean they dislike the other one.

That said, in this instance You Make Me Feel Brand New does nothing for me.

Give Ms Dynamite a listen. It’s about blacks killing blacks, oppressing themselves and being the stereotypes that racists want them to be. She’s amazing.

Irish Aris

Candi Staton Young Hearts Run Free v Beyonce Halo - such a lovely song
Milli Vanilli Girl You Know It's True v Lenny Kravitz Fly Away - Pass. Milli Vanilli is my nominations, though it was meant as a joke
Ray Charles Hit The Road Jack! v Sarah Vaughan Somewhere Over The Rainbow - a classic!!
Ms. Dynamite It Takes More v Destiny's Child Say My Name

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Candi Staton - Young Hearts Run Free ; tough call, as Halo is one of the few solo Beyoncé tracks I actually like

Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away ; forgot to nominate this one so glad someone else did, fantastic song

Ray Charles - Hit The Road Jack ; I love this song, but even if I didn't Somewhere Over The Rainbow (no matter what version) is one of those songs that annoys me because of how overrated it is, so I'd vote against it regardless

Destiny's Child - Say My Name ; tune... 'nuff said
