Feist vs. Ron Sexsmith

Recently, I became interested in finding out what other people think about the two different versions of the same song, Brandy Alexander. The story of the song is almost as good as the song itself, where Leslie Feist and Ron Sexsmith came together in Ottawa. Ron was drinking a "Brandy Alexander," which he had ordered because "it was the famous drink that got John Lennon and Harry Nilsson kicked out of the LA Troubadour back in the 70's." (The story is here) Later Feist sent him a lyric by email and they wrote the song that way, finishing up the touches in LA. Feist recorded it and put it on her 2007 hit album "The Reminder" and Sexsmith recorded it later and put it on his album "Exit Strategy of the Soul." Here are some videos of the two songs. Please vote in the poll on the side!
