I would imagine that he has quite a social media following: he has the look and the charisma to garner a good fan base. Although I enjoyed it, Nath Campos version was far superior to my ears. She gets my vote hands down.<br /><br />Re: A-Z, I don't think I'll be participating again this year. For one thing, I have two groups of company coming that month: one staying for at least 2 weeks and the other for 1 week. I'm also having surgery (I fell and have two "massive full thickness tears" in my rotator cuff and not sure if I'll feel up to clicking around on the keyboard, being that I'll be in a sling for 6 weeks. Not sure yet when I'm having the surgery but it has to be before Memorial Day...<br />Anyway, I've been wanting to do my Favorite One Hit Wonders from the 70s for the last two years and being that I won't be doing the April challenge, I think I might split up my A-Z favs over the 5 Mondays in April and get them out that way, with the Monday's Music Moves Me posts. I'm tired of sitting on these...<br />That's my thought process as of now anyway...<br /><br />Michele at <a href="http://angelsbark.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Angels Bark</a>Michele at Angels Bark https://www.blogger.com/profile/15891713963440451090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-34997404572997845372018-02-15T18:19:47.801-08:002018-02-15T18:19:47.801-08:00CW, no beauty contests on this site...

I like the...Another unique and interesting battle!<br /><br />I like the original, but I liked the "El Afro" Jack dude a lot too. If you watch him closely, you'll see a great similarity of a young Mick Jagger. He mugs, turns sideways, pouts, grins, and well... just looks like him!<br /><br />My answer to McCarthy's complaint about "uniqueness" is: what about Nathalia's version/style was unique? Or even the original? No... ALL music now suffers from a lack or originality. With seven+ billion people in the world of whom five billion have the capability to immediately communicate with the others, with huge numbers of them creating music, with any of these people able to post music to be heard by all within minutes: new sounds are few and far between. Most "new" sounds (those outside of traditional forms) are simply not popular with enough people to get past massive critical rejection (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7vZURdhucM).<br /><br />A vote for Jumpin' ElafroJack Flash.Sixgun McItchyfingernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-4801781941616092482018-02-15T10:54:19.160-08:002018-02-15T10:54:19.160-08:00I vote for Elafrojack!I vote for Elafrojack!Loni Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126958230703180761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-84597853639642411382018-02-15T10:19:16.319-08:002018-02-15T10:19:16.319-08:00Lee,
