Tarkan - "Simarik"
Stella Soleil (United States) - "Kiss Kiss'
Holly Valance (Australia) - "Kiss Kiss"
To me, Stella and Tarkan's versions are very similar in instrumentation; they both use traditional instruments. Holly's version, on the other hand, is more electronical.
Which one do you like the best?
I was on holiday in Turkey when Tarkan's version was a really big hit back in 1999 or something (after having been in Turkey four times I've really realized that he's a real big shot down there), so that'll always be the original and best version for me. When I heard Holly Valance's cover for the first time I had a small "wtf" moment, because I'd never imagined that someone would make a cover of that song.
Regardless of who wins, the music industry always loses.
The one I know is the Holly Valance version, which is good, but now I've heard the original I think I prefer that one... :greenie:
This may be a mistake, but I've heard that Holly's is technically more original than it seams, as she helped out Tarkan with that version. But either way, I prefer Holly's.
Has anyone heard of the Stella Soleil version, and who likes that one?
Not until today. It's a good version, but her voice doesn't suit the song. She sounds more like a rock singer than a pop singer.Quote:

The original by Tarkan! :p
Maybe he should do an English version...
