MARC has always made each and every song his own! BRAVO! Thankyou for many years of your creativity...beginning from days and nights at Danceteria and BERLIN... GUNTER GUARD AKA dHANIEL
And might I add that Almond usually does just one take of a song. 'Say Hello Wave Goodbye' was a classic example of this. Many songs are messed so much that they have little to do with the original recorded sound.
I think this is a great cover, in spite of the argument about Marc's voice compared to the orchestration. Having said that, imagine what this would sound like with Freddie singing it...
What's really good about this cover is the orchestration. It's a real lesson in orchestration, that should be studied in the music departments. Marc himself doesn't deliver himself powerfully this time, in comparison with the dramatic arrangement. His voice is just too weak for this assignment. And I love him very much, still do.
Love many of Almond's covers but "Prayer" is definitely not among them - the song kicks off in an interesting way, but develops into an unimaginative mess.
And Marc's voice is as expressive and distinctive as ever!

Marc ,Thanks for making such impressive songs from beginning Soft cell.
Simply the best
Perfeitamente bela voz de Marc Almond. Um luxo absolutamente indispensável!
This is good
Great version I think. Not a Madge fan but this works well.
Brilliant
This is great!
Just love this version - ther is a lot of gusto there. And makes me feel like dancing, much more than Madonna´s original
Love it! It's calypso meets Mission:impossible...genius!

I'd love to get hold of an mp3 of this! Love it
Out on CD soon
Much Better than the original.Complex guy buy always entertaining.
Marc should have been singing this last year at the ESC instead of desastrous Madonna..... Wonderful Version!
even better at 1.25 speed. try it you might like it.!!!
We like it at The 0.5 Speed.

Marc's voice is much better then Madonna's song!! His voice gets better with age!!
This totally smokes Madonna! It somehow sounds like he could have put a little more gut in it, but Viva Marc all the same!
Maybe a Daniel Abraham Remix Edit might be an idea if anyone's listening ?

Nice to hear him singing something happy for a change I guess...
