If this were the original version of Candle, it’d be an easy vote, but the ‘97 version is tacky junk.

Voting for the pleasant enough ‘80s ballad RR, which gets bonus points for having Keanu in the video.

I'm not sure I'd be moved to vote for the original version of Candle either.

Elton John's never done the slightest thing for me.

I've always thought Paula Abdul has the plainest voice. But this song is better than the schlocky redone "Candle"

I absolutely love Elton John. But this reworking of Candle is garbage. Paula Abdul for the win.
