Well done the Interwebs!

Best #1 since...the last one! And the one before that! Good times.

The old video was totally better! Stuff rushing past a train window is exactly what the song evokes for me anyway. Also, it has less Robyn in it. That woman's face and hair really annoy me.

If I was the sort to be bitter I would be v annoyed that Robyn is getting the glory which was Annie's by right.

Robyn's a better singer than Annie tho - stronger voice at least.

They've both got quite limited ranges but Annie has more emotional depth and also doesn't sound quite so pleased with herself.

'and also doesn't sound quite so pleased with herself.'

such a projection! i think Robyn is entitled to be pleased with herself off record tho ha

don't agree about Annie having more emotional depth AT ALL

Completely, I'm a big fan of that Annie album but 'emotional depth' in her voice is not one thing I'd agree with at all - and it's one of Robyn's biggest strong points.

I think Robyn has a much richer voice, and "With Every Heartbeat" shows it off brilliantly, but her delivery often really puts me off - there's a cuteness to it that's annoying (on eg Bum Like You, Robot Boy, Konichiwa Bitches (which I like)). Annie sounds more grown-up and sympathetic though her voice isn't as strong.

now the cuteness (as opposed to smugness) criticism i do agree with, altho Annie doesn't sound particularly grown up on 'My Best Friend' herself. i have deliberately and conveniently forgotten all the Robyn album tracks I don't like (half of them) but i still heartses them both, with Berger and Zetlitz not too far behind.

Annie's offensively cute sometimes, too. Admitedly I can't think of any of these points off the top of my head but I've definitely though it about her.
