Welcome to my blog. This is my first entry for The 2017 A to Z Challenge. April 1st is also a day I normally would post my Battle of the Bands post. Today I am fusing them all into one post.
This time around the song I am going to use is "Amazing Grace." Usually for my Battles of the Bands post I would insert a version of the original song or a well known version for a reference point. I am going to forego that on this post since the tune is one of the most recognizable hymns in the Christian faith.
How it works: I post two versions of the songs. You listen to the songs and let me know which one you thought was the best in the comments. I count up the votes and announce a winner at a later day which will be Sunday, April 9. Adjusting the result the day due to the A to Z Blogging Challenge.

Of these two, I'm going to vote for Charlotte. :-)
Beautiful song done by so many. These two versions are both lovely. Of the two I'm going to lay down my vote for the Celtic Woman-nice production.

Mike, Two extremely beautiful renditions of my favorite hymnal. I'm giving my vote to Celtic Woman. They sound like a chorus of angels when they sing! Speaking of angels, if y'all like 'em and I don't know anyone who doesn't then I invite you to stop in to see #AprilA2Z Art Sketching Through the Alphabet Letter "A" +#BoTB!
Great song choice and excellent kick-start to the Challenge! I'm giving my vote to Charlotte.

WOW! Kudos, MIKE. I think this was one of your best Battles ever. Great song choice and two great renditions of it.
A lot of times I prefer choral groups to solo singers and after listening to Celtic Woman I thought they had my vote in the bag. They were excellent.
But then CHARLOTTE came along and stole their vote from 'em. Dang! That gal can sing! And I think maybe, because 'Amazing Grace' is such an emotionally powerful and PERSONAL statement, it might be better suited for a solo voice than a choral group.
This was a tough vote for me. Nicely done, Brother!

I love this song and a great way to start off the A to Z. I am having a tough time choosing which one I prefer because I would listen to both...sigh.....ok I go with Charlotte Church..her pure voice is just serene. I don't care who wins with this BOTB:)
I really liked the rendering by Celtic Woman better. They get my vote!
I can't choose. They are both gifts from heaven.
