Rod and Tina fulfilled the male/female vocal arrangement cementing the deal for me and earning my vote. I also liked their cover better generally speaking the best, too. Please count me in for <b>Rod & Tina</b>! Thanks for stopping by and for the update of your new BoTB involvement beginning next month. I can't believe it's already November!

The second one, with Billie Piper singing it by herself, just didn't sound right. Rod & Tina sounded a little bit better, although I wish they sang more like themselves so I could tell them apart, so they get my vote.
