Another tough task! I'll have to come back to this later!

One thing's for sure, Dusty looks great!

This will be an easy call for me, although I like some of the songs that Natalie Cole sings, I never liked her version of "This Will Be".

DUSTY HANDS DOWN!!!

I love Dusty's smile at 1:27.

And the bit at the end where she doesn't even bother to sing the lyrics. "This is the bit that I leave to them"... LOL

I prefer Dusty's version. Even if i wasn't biased i'm sure i still would've chosen it. Great sense of fun and her voice just has that something else.

I'm not crazy about the song at all.

I know, I've had to push that one out of my mind.

I first heard Dusty sing this at Drury Lane before I knew it was Natalie Cole's song, I was never a fan of Natalie but I love Dusty singing this - she was always so comfortable singing this kind of material.

Let's be honest Dusty was comfortable singing anything!

I really thought this would be tough. Natalie singing her own song (I love this song by the way) vs Dusty's cover....

Natalie sounds like she can't sing. So it was a thumbs down from me but it's a fairly good performance.

Dusty is great. She looks absolutely great too and is so vibrant and relaxed. Aw Gee! She really sings that song! She's brilliant and so charismatic. She wins on performance and interpretation. Her singing between between 2.0 -2.10 '..I never knew... Ooh Baby...!' is worth three Natalies anyday!
