Kermit really rocks that song. The Carpenters were great but I just love the way Kermit the Frog does that one. Now Willie, I never thought he would begin the song and I was happy when he ended it.

Ha ha! I was waiting for SOMEONE to say that! Willie is an iconic artist doing this song for me. But, I’ve never seen his official video for it and he didn’t start until over 2 mins in!! 🤣 Thanks for the vote!

Another toughy. Silly, but tough to decide between the three.
I enter this contest thinking that the Kermie version will be the fave because it is the one in which I am familiar, but I will keep an open mind and give all three a fair shot.
The Carpenters. A brother / sister act? That is so weird. Anyway, there is no denying she has an incredible, and when she wants it, powerful voice, yet, there is something fragile about her. Miss Plumtartt did not care for the production, but I thought they did a good job on a recreated/retrograde video. She has a sincerity in her voice. It is really touching.
Kermie! I luv me some Kermie. Kermit is my buddy. His voice is so weak, and fragile, that it breaks my heart. It works incredibly well here. I did not know he is a lefty! Sitting alone in a swamp, singing a heartfelt little tune. That was wonderful. I really loved the long, boom entrance, where he is a couple of minutes into the song before the camera finally finds him.
Willie. I am cool with Willie. He’s a cool dude. This video, however, was some over-produced, gag-inducing schlock. Willie did a cool rendition of the song, but the production made it unwatchable. Sorry, Nicole, sorry Willie, I tried, but that shit sucked.
Sorry Karen, you and your voice are wonderful and beautiful, but Kermie hit everything just right.
I am wiping a tear from my eye as I proudly cast my vote for my little green pal, Kermit.
{P.S. All three of the babies, 2 puppos and a cat, really seemed to like Kermit.}

LMAO!!! I totally agree with you about the Willie version (well, all of them really!) and, even though this is an iconic version of the song for me, the video definitely DID NOT do it for me… But, I really had to put it up because his version holds a special place in my heart! Thanks for the vote! 😁🍻
