Ok, after a long absence from my blog, the "Which One Is Better" poll has returned.
This week, we'll be comparing the song "Sweet Heart".
"Sweet Heart" was originally recorded by Rainy Davis in 1987. The song got into the Top 10 on the dance charts, and crossed over to the Top 50 on the Hot 100.
Rainy's debut CD (also called Sweet Heart) was released in '87 as well, and also included the R & B hit "Lowdown So & So".
Here is Rainy Davis' version of "Sweet Heart".
*note, an official video was never made, this is just the record sleeve and pics of Rainy while the song plays*

In 1998, Mariah Carey released the hits package "#1s", a collection of her number one hits. It also included three new songs. One of them was a remake of the Rainy Davis song, "Sweet Heart", which she said was a favorite 80s jam of hers.
It wasn't released as a single, however, the video got a lot of airplay on MTV and VH-1.
Here is Mariah's version of "Sweet Heart".

So, which do you like better? And remember, the question isn't "which video is better?" it's "which version do you like better?"

Definitely the first version, Rainy Davis. Hers is more delicate.
I don't like the background singers in the second version.
