Battle of the Bands ~ Walkin' After Midnight

 Last week, right after I got over my cold, my mom wanted to go to karaoke. I was game. I like to sing different songs (constantly) and so I spent a while on YouTube listening to different things. I came across Walkin' After Midnight by the late, great Patsy Cline. I did end up singing it (if you were remotely curious), but I also noticed some COVERS of that song running down the sidebar. Of course, that made me think of Battle of the Bands. So, I started playing some and was pleasantly surprised. (Sometimes the cover is an attempt to sound just like the original... and while I understand this... it doesn't make for a very good "battle.")

I am not going to use the original Patsy Cline version of this song. I suspect she would run away with the vote, and what fun would that be?

Instead, it will be Kelly Clarkson versus Girl In A Coma. I'd never heard of the band Girl In A Coma prior to this listening. Anyone else ever heard them before???? Anyway, let's get down to business.

First up, the unknown (to me) Girl In A Coma. I couldn't find any version other than the official video that had excellent sound quality. So, if you are persuaded (positively or negatively) by the images, close your eyes! :)




In contrast, here is Kelly Clarkson singing the same song. You can keep your eyes open for this one.
