Cheers all!! Have a great week!
Yay!!! Austin Hartly-Leonard won! (Erm…I did vote for him right? 🤔🤔) Short term memory again 😅😅
Well…I always like Tears for Fears a lot. But again I’m casting a vote for maybe the most unexpected choice: The Riverdale cast! Really like the voice in that one…so yep….that’s my vote 😊😊

I’m loving that the fist 2 votes were Riverdale!! This is why I do this “who did it better?” sometimes it’s so just and unexpected!! Like, last week I really didn’t expect Austin Hartley-Leonard to win! It’s so much fun!!

Yes! I LOVE this song! It’s 2:30 am right now so I have to wait a few hours to listen and compare. Have you heard Adam Lambert’s cover Nicole? It’s quite haunting.

Just listened to it, and it IS pretty good! I’ll have to see if I can add it!… I’m at work right now, so I don’t know if I can add a video on my phone. 🤔

Argh! Why, WHY, does WP have that stupid bloody button right over the follow button on some of the blogs? It’s driving me bonkers! I think I’ve unfollowed/followed Michel at least two or three times.🤬

This is tough, only because I am a major Tears for Fears girl. They totally represent the 80s for me, and their songs got me through some rough times. So I’m calling a tie between them and the Riverdale cast. But the Carlos Santana version was damn good, too. 🙂

Very true! I wanted to put the video up to add it, but I worked both jobs, and apparently you need a proper computer to put videos up. 😕

Reblogged this on By Hook Or By Book and commented:
Nicole over at Bookworm Drinketh, does this fun twist every week on Drew’s (The Tattooed Book Geek), Music Monday. She picks a song and gives readers a choice between the original and a couple of covers. It’s so much fun, and this week she’s picked one of my favorite songs, Mad World, originally by Tears for Fears. Check out the videos if you can and give your favorite a shout out. Nicole will announce the winner next Monday.

You are very welcome Sweetie! I’m sorry your having a rottenday. Mondays are bad enough, but full moon Mondays bite. Ha! “Bite!” See what I did there? Sorry. I was up until 4:00 this morning with a migraine and now I’m a bit loopy.🙄🤪

Well, it HAS to be the original Tears For Fears, because I saw them perform it live last year in Los Angeles and it was better than ever – here is the video!
