Stephen was just talking about how tricky it is to put these battles together, and how tough it is, because you have to anticipate how people are going to hear the song. I clearly haven’t mastered that, because I had a great turnout, which ended up a great blowout victory…

Congratulations to Johnny Rivers, and a pat on the back for Billy Joe Royal for being a good sport about it.
Thanks to all of you who voted this time around, and I guess congratulations are in order for those who went with Johnny Rivers.
My next battle will be next Wednesday, March 15. I’ll be taking April off for the A to Z Challenge, and hope to see a lot of you there!

Yeah, that’s the way it goes, I guess. I had no idea who would win, I just don’t think it would be by that wide a margin.

Excellent song for a battle, John! It makes it hard for anyone to lose – unless they sound like a river toad 😉
Have a terrific month!

I thought both were well-matched. Both have great voices and it’s a classic song. You really don’t know sometimes.

A great turnout trumps a blowout! I had the same situation, except you’re way more popular, John. 🙂
The best man won, IMO.

It is good getting so many people to vote, but disappointing it wasn’t closer.

16-3? I demand a recount! Anything that close should be double-checked! 😉
At least it wasn’t a shutout. “Missed it by that much”, as Maxwell Smart would say.

You did have a good turnout for your Battle. So who won? The one who should have won in my opinion. But Billy Joe did a nice version as well.
