Anyone Who Had a Heart?

[dellzeqq]

Dionne Warwick is bigging up her Christmas Album and, as usual, has a sly dig at Our National Treasure, Cilla Black (searches for Union Jack smiley).

Well, listen up, Dionne. Cilla's version of Anyone Who Had a Heart is way, way better than yours. It's got range, it's got passion, and it's got a voice. Yours sounds like it was recorded in a cardboard box. That's why nobody in this country listens to yours. In fact your version isn't even as good as Dusty Springfield's. And just to prove it, we're going to have a poll. And woe betide any CCer who votes for Dionne Warwick.

Nothing by Cilla Black will ever be good - ever, ever and forever.

The only Xmas albums allowed in my house are Bob Dylans and some cathedral choir that SWMBO likes.

Cilla's, a gnat's pube ahead of Dusty's but a looong way ahead of Warwick's and a billion miles ahead of Mr. M.O.R, VanDROSS. And Cilla always reminds me of my mum in that she looks like her but more posh-er.

Cilla is a bit before my time, my only memory of her singing is this, and it's crap.

Well, if I have to choose it would be Dusty's version, but frankly the tune is an overrated, overwrought funeral march, and should be left in the sixties where it belongs.

Chilla Black should have never been let out of the cloakroom in Cavern
The other bird singing it sounds like she doesn't even like the tune.
Luther Vandriver is trying to hard to have sex with it.

At least Dusty could sing, but she had much better tunes than that.

Aaaarrrrghhhh, make the banshee stop.

She did. Her mother pointed out she had gone past her sell-by date and that she should stop. So she followed her mother's advice and did.

Sorry, but Dione's version is better than Cillas. End of!

 

[dellzeqq]

the sound system eats it, but Cilla's RVP live version is better still. The drummer is just outstanding. The horns are fab. Cilla is a goddess! And, Ianrauk, TEC duty beckons!

None of them. Not enough wailing guitars or talk of Lucifer rising to eat pensioners for my liking.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

This is a much better version, ya man.

 

[totallyfixed]

Cilla Black's high notes, headache inducing and possibly damaging to those under 18. Has to be Dusty followed by Dionne. When Cilla sings softly it's not bad but when she lets rip...eek.

Bet His Bobness has got this, folksy, sacred and the whole album is free to listen to!!

Cilla for me every time
