I would like to say that I have now listened to three different covers of the song "Fly Me to The Moon". If you do not know that song, you are hereby now ejected from whatever hierarchy of knowledge you are in and immediately relegated to the level of utterly mentally impaired.
Anyway, I'm gonna draw a comparison. Watch.
That was Frank Sinatra, circa 1965.
Now for Utada Hikaru.
Impressive, but we must move on.
Let's see the version from Evangelion. You know, that weird Freudian anime that to this day, still confuses me. I know what they're talking about, but it doesn't make sense. Anyway...
What does the ocean have to do with this? Or a spinning adolescent girl? And why does "l" sound like "r" and vice versa? And what is with the voices?
Anyways, lemme see. Sinatra's advantages:
- He's Frank Sinatra.
- He actually studied singing.
- He is considered an American classic.
- He allegedly had ties to the Mob.
Utada Hikaru:
- Has good symphonics and tone.
- Is a girl.
- She has a good grasp on the English language. I'm not trying to be racist, it's true. She can speak English very well, as well as sing.
- Is a girl. Which means boobs.
Evangelion's voice actresses:
- They're...cute...in a very eerie way.
- Seriously, they creep me out.
- Very good harmony, they work well together.
- Poor pronunciation.
Judging from the previous, the winner must be...
FRANK SINATRA.
Don't even question his dominance. It's not up for debate in any way or form. There. Because the Mob will come for me. The walls, they have eyes.
