#BoTB Results: ZZ Top vs Paul Rodgers on 'I Thank You'

Wow. I was really really not expecting this. Okay, let me start by saying I'd never heard of Paul Rodgers. And, also, I love ZZ Top. Not all their stuff—I don't even know all their stuff—but... well, enough of their songs have a place on my Anthem List. And my Feel-Good List. So... yeah, I thought this would be a shut-out.

Surprise, surprise...


ZZ Top: 11 
Michele
Janie
Debbie
Birgit
John
Yolanda
Donna
Hilary
Mary
Lee
Cathy



Paul Rodgers: 10

Dixie
Jeffrey
Elliptical Man
Susan
Robin
FAE
Stephanie
Cherdo
Stephen
Mike

Yeah. Wow.

The other thing I thought was that my vote would go to ZZ Top. I love their rendition of I Thank You. Love, love, LOVE it. It makes me dance every time. It makes me happy.

But, like I said, I hadn't listened to the Paul Rodgers version. And, like I heard from many of the comments y'all left here, it blew me away.

So... My vote goes to Paul. Which makes this battle a tie. After all the see-sawing (one vote for ZZ, one vote for Paul, one vote for ZZ, two votes for Paul, two more for ZZ...), maybe this is the fairest of all possible results. But I sure hate the responsibility of making that happen. The only thing I'd have hated more would've been to be the one to break the tie. So thanks for not letting that happen :)

See y'all on the 15th! (And apologies for the late posting... Not sure what happened to yesterday. One minute it was Monday and then... it wasn't.)

    Oh wow! I am glad at least it was a tie because nothing beats ZZ Top for me:)

    Mine is a tie, too, and it was my vote that created the tie. However, I intended all along that I would vote for Patti Smith. We had the exact same situation!

    Love,
    Janie

    What a surprise! I went back and listened to Paul Rodgers again. Better impression than the first time. Hmm....Then, on to ZZ Top once more and I still say NO contest! ☺ Obviously, you and so many others disagreed, Guilie. This is what makes BOTB so much fun.
    ¡Felices fiestas! Prettige feestdagen! Bon pasco! ☺

    That was a tough contest. They were both so good that it would have been difficult to come up with a decisive winner.
