I had seen the Pearsall Sisters one. Can't watch it through because it reminds of the days I sang hymns with my little girls at church, Andie creating amazing harmonies off the top of her 11 -14 year old head.

Having said that, even if I didn't have the tragedy of Andie's untimely passing and hurt of memories to contend with, I still prefer the elderly lady singing.

And you were spot on as to why. Her song is coming from a deep abiding faith. But there is something more. It is coming from her suffering and an understanding of the suffering of others and that is what makes it so special.

I want to be a small child sitting cross legged chin in hands, at her feet listening to her sing and tell stories.
