I wouldn't want to listen to it often. The Train acoustic version is outstanding--maybe the best of all. I just looked up the song on Wikipedia and there it says that the song was originally written for Britney Spears. It would have been interesting to see what could have happened with that.<br /><br />Lee <br /><a href="http://wrotebyrote.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Wrote By Rote</a><br />An A to Z Co-host blog<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-84945508381010162752014-05-13T01:26:46.298-04:002014-05-13T01:26:46.298-04:00Hang in there girl.

I have all faith that you'll be as together as usual next time. :) Yeah, I noticed that you didn't post results for the BOTB this time and I don't even usually look for that, so I did miss ya!<br />Oh Lord, what is that Baseballs thing?! Ugh, it's truly horrible. Sorry folks. I had to say it. I haven't heard something that annoying in a very long time. It was probably worse because I saw how many of the commentors liked it and I expected to also!'Yellow Rose' Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496382898548158316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-47403904580203122032014-05-12T09:07:46.233-04:002014-05-12T09:07:46.233-04:00I like both.

Rare to have 40-somethings hitting the airwaves these days.<br /><br />I do have a write in for this song remake, however. I know this will sound really funny, but I once caught Mandy Moore's take on the song when she performed it on Yahoo Music years ago.

I like the Train acoustic version ...Cool shirt. :)<br /><br />I like the Train acoustic version better than Rihanna's (and I was one of the votes for her in the other post). They did a great job. I like Train. I like some of Rihanna's music too. We won tickets to her show once, but I thought it was too risque for my daughter (she was 13) and gave them to a friend, who gave them to her son and his girl. ;)<br /><br />Train has a tour stop in our state in July. I wouldn't mind seeing them.mail4roseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17850985344834209198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-62925020645141561202014-05-10T03:51:38.719-04:002014-05-10T03:51:38.719-04:00The Baseballs are fun, but I still like Train best...The Baseballs are fun, but I still like Train best.

So Baseballs it is.<br /><br />(When I commented on your last BOTB, Sweetie and Middle Daughter had to listen to the Baseballs' version and their vote was "I like Rihanna," with a second, and I thought completely unnecessary vote of "Plus your musical tastes are awful," directed at me. As I said, completely unnecessary.) (And untrue. My musical tastes are incredibly refined.)Brianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616494058636881575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-31638606243214115522014-05-10T01:59:52.824-04:002014-05-10T01:59:52.824-04:00The Baseballs do an interesting take on the song.....The Baseballs do an interesting take on the song...not sure I'd vote for it over Train, but it's got more spunk that the R&B version...<br /><br />LCDiscConnectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013919800637508392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-58293602691104874942014-05-10T00:06:37.275-04:002014-05-10T00:06:37.275-04:00The Baseballs?

I would definitely go with the first Train version, but it would still be a reluctant vote.<br /><br />Finally, I almost didn't go on to listen to The Baseballs and that would have been a mistake. WOW! I really did like that version, so apparently it's not the song, but the artists and arrangements. The Baseballs really did it for me.farawayeyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578277501054242356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-74826480127943733322014-05-09T18:51:24.089-04:002014-05-09T18:51:24.089-04:00Hi Robin,

Other than that, I preferred the one you used in the official 'BOTB'.<br /><br />BUT... of the four versions you've now posted, the ONLY ONE that I can say I truly "liked" was by The Baseballs. I never heard of them before... I've thrown them and hit them, but never heard of them. But THAT was "music"! It was done so differently that it was almost like hearing a totally different song (more like my 'Mercury Blues' BOTB where Steve Miller and David Lindley didn't even seem to be playing the same song.)<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.
