April 23Apr 23 Hmm, Pete Tong basically dumps more strings onto the original. Nice but I'd just listen to the original.Giving it to Rita as she did quite well to turn that into a pop song.
April 23Apr 23 Rita's version is a guilty pleasure for me and I think she actually made an interesting version of it!The Pete Tong one is exactly like gooddelta said, just the original with strings dumped over the top and I'd rather just listen to the original instead.(although in their original forms I do prefer 'Right Here Right Now' to 'Praise You')
April 24Apr 24 I went for Pete Tong as the more enjoyable listening experience, but I do take the point that Rita did more with it.
