I like that performance a lot more than the other one because it clearly has a danceable beat, but the melody just doesn't grab me. Some songs have that magic, and some don't. And, some artists have magic phases and less than magic phases, like Madonna and Bjork. I love their catchy pop tunes from way back when, but their newer stuff leaves me flat.
