Butterflies: Mj vs Floetry

Whose version do you like?


I'd say MJ's version is prettier and Floetry's version is raw.....Marsha gives it some raw feeling...



I'mma say its a draw.

I'm not feeling them girls vocally, MJ's is just a better listen, but if he woulda did a little more in their style it woulda been even better, if that's possible, ofcourse since MJ is no longer a live artist he loses points for never performing it.

edge MJ.

I like Floetry. They were supposed to be in town on monday here where I live to promote their new joint. I got to the record store and the spot was closed. I was like hungh? I remember hearing the song on the radio when Invinceable was released and was kinda confused. I don't really understand why they would allow MJ to use the song at the "same time" they were promoting their own album. Thats kinda wacko'.

MJ's version is amazing. And I haven't liked him since middle school. Plus that Floetry girl's Aaron Neville yodellin gets old quick.

Same here. I love MJ's because it's the closest sound he's had to Off the Wall. Floetry's version ... well Marsha just sings so purty on it.

MJ's version fits the song much better. His voice is so much more delicate and
light, perfect for a song about love and butterflies.

Just like the thing with Prince's vs. Sinead's version of Nothing Compares 2 U

The way a song is sung can change the complete meaning of it. smile
If you will, so will I

No, Marsha doesn't. Her yodelling does.
