  1. I prefer the Dylan version because the second one is more moody and the first one was more lively with a feeling of pride but with the second one it makes you fell glum and unhappy

  2. I like them both. The Dylan version was adorable! It was also more lively than the second, but I liked the music choice and pictures on the second version. They both had a very different mood, the first one was sweet and happy, it's also amazing how a kid that young can memorize that whole poem! And the second was glum and moody but its the same poem, but you can put it in two entirely different moods which I find amazing. But I'm not sure which one I like better.

  4. I liked the second version better because i when the little child was reading the poem i felt like i was at my friends little brothers birthday... it wasn't pretty. I liked the second version better because i felt it set the mood better. I sounded like the poem was supposed to be kind of emmotional not a little kid screaming in your ear.

  5. I prefer the first version of "If" batter because the little boy who was reading it was so adorable! Also, the second one was quite sad and depressing but the first one made me feel happy. The second one was just so dark and the music did not match the poem at all...

  6. I prefer the first one because its cute, I mean a five year old.
    Plus the second one I think they tried to make it sad.

  7. I liked the second one better beacause it seamed more emotional, and emotional is good. It looked better and sounded better that way. the first one was good too, but again, not as good as the other one. the two poems felt very diffrent, but are almost the same thing!

  8. I liked the poem where Dylan resited "If" because it was more bright and happy than the second version. I disliked the second version because there was a scary feeling to it and it was a very unhappy poem (because of music).
