I'M GONNA BE WARM THIS WINTER: CONNIE VS GABRIELLA

[horarwgt]

Interesting edit, although the switch back to Connie is in the wrong place in the musical structure (it;s half a phrase too late). Gabriella offers a good try at this song, byt her version lacks the youthful enthusiasm and vivacious charm of the Connie Francis original.

[TheDibidibi]

both are great, but i like gabriella's version the most :D

[Hbomb6440]

Connie Francis, without a shadow of a doubt

[KeeKeeDi]

Both are good but I prefer Connie's as Iove her sweeter sounding voice.

[jimbomacaroni]

? Who is Gabriella? and will we know who she was 50 years from now?

[Shrinksjp]

Concetta..a million times better.

[Goonerette89]

Connie!!

[Martywt43]

Connie is best!!!

[jnmklo9]

Connie by a country mile

[TheSusiehay]

Connie wins hands down. Let the good times roll, Connie, you're wonderful and you are loved the world over.

[auaiao9]

I luuuvs me some Connie!

[prettyparisian]

connie all the way =D exciting! xx

[markgrant1152]

They are both very good. Gabriella obviously liked Connie's version because the arrangement is so similar. I think it was a tribute to Connie that she recorded this song. Good for her! And Connie will always be a legend!

[SirBasildeBrush]

Connie for me, purity of voice. Gabriella is not half bad, but her husky gospel-warble doesn't lend itself so much to a warm feeling this winter.

[onions9]

Connie version all the way!! wish somebody would upload the whole song :P

[seb8092]

More depth in Gabriela's voice, she takes first place for me :-)

[cottonceena]

Connie is a hundred times better

[greatballsoffire]

Connie is better without a doubt. Shes a classic. There wasn't a comparison to start with.

[suckabia]

GABRIELLA!!! Def

[charlixsparkles]

[jimjan41]

Thanks for message SolidGoldDavey02,but i purchased the album from i,tunes its Titled I,m Going To Be Warm This Winter.circa 1961.Many Thanks James.

[cbudd41]

i do like them both but i like gabbys better

[buzbeech]

No Comparison. As they say you can't improve on perfection. This girl should have not done this song. Connie is by far the best. Go Connie Go!

[SolidGoldDavey02]

There's no reason why someone shouldn't cover a great song, unlees they totally kill it in their efforts. But, in my view, Gabriella Cilmi has done the song some good and has brought Connie to the attention of a lot of people who would otherwise not have known who she is.

[jimjan41]

Hi SolidGoldDavey02 there is another version after Connies, from Connie Landers its not bad Cheers James.

[SolidGoldDavey02]

Yes, i've heard that version too. But, that version was on a label (i can't recall the name) that specialised in putting out cover versions of chart songs at lower prices. Not that it's an inferior version, it was just recorded by session artists who were employed by the label to sing like the real artists. There was a few labels that did this during the 60's. The Connie Francis version is best in my opinion.

[jimjan41]

Hi Solid i agree with you i prefer Connie Francis, but then i was weaned on her Cheers James.

[camtechman]

Thanks for the comments & an apology for the poor quality of the pics used, I did it in a rush and was more concerned in getting the audio as best as I could.

I'll swat up on getting better pics & video, as I'm going to be presenting more comparison songs in the near future.

Cheers (p.s. I prefer Connie's version)

[Shrinksjp]

There is hte emotion in Connie's voice that sets it apart.

[confranfan]

Interesting mix. I'm not sure there is much comparison however. Connie's voice will always rise to the top in my world. I must admit that as a lifelong fan of hers it is always flattering to me when another artist will cover her song(s). I've yet to hear one cover that sounded better than hers. Thanks for sharing this. Richard

[Shrinksjp]

Connie's.

[mudrocker]

I have to be honest.I prefer Connie's version
