The two versions varied greatly even though they were both the same songs. The original of David Bowie, was very easy to follow with very distinct sounds and limited vocals. Beck’s rendition however included not only many voices but also many instruments. Beck’s version was also in video format so not only was the music vastly more dramatic so was the images that I saw in my head, in comparison to that of the Bowie which was much more calm and concise. Beck’s was so much more packed than that of the original. It reminded me of the jazz performance a lot, because of the large number of musicians featured in that one piece, there was a necessity to work together in harmony. That was what I noticed in the Jazz performance as these artist all with different sounds had to work together to create a musical piece. They each had places where they had to wait for others or take a solo, and therefore it was very similar to the second version of Bowie’s song.
