Got to go with the video #1. The words were slow enough for a child to pick up easily. I like how it actually showed the kids acting out some of the lyrics as opposed to just a bunch of random scenes.

I also loved it because I love a good horn section and those girls rocked it! :)

Definitely video #1.

Hey Bob it is very hard to decide… I can see why you are leaving the dirty work to us!!! jeje…

But really, you have great kids, fun, good video editing on both so it is a difficult call. I believe my vote is for video #2 and her is why:

1. Mom edited it! (great edit… go mom!)
2. Loved the kids playing the instruments (baby was cool too)
3. Creativity in the whole idea (writing with scrabble and on the chalkboard)

3 | Daryl

February 8th, 2010 at 9:15 AM

All of the children were so cute but I’m a little partial to the ones with the last name Cannon.
Seriously though, I love the creativity with the scrabble pieces and the fact that the kids are actually using the song for their choreography. And that baby, well what can I say :)

#2 – cutest kids; creativity; talented mama.

5 | Neil

Bob

I’m finding this very hard.

I felt vid 2 was better eddited, but I’m a tombone player and just loved seeing how I must have looked aged 10 with a huge trombone – I to wait till 13 before I could reach 7th position!

I also loved the “I make my daddy smile” top. Cheesy? Maybe, but anyless valid? nope.

So, if we’re going for technically best, I’ll have to go for vid 2, but I’ll be clear this is no reflection on the children – its an assement of the directors :)

Well done Kids!

Video 2 was VERY creative. Loved the scrabble words, chalkboard and the kiddos acting out some of the words. The baby clapping was a wonderful touch too. The editing was FABULOUS too!

7 | Karen

February 8th, 2010 at 9:34 AM

both are adorable. #2 has my vote though.

8 | Beth Young

February 8th, 2010 at 9:37 AM

I would like to vote for the Cannon family – “To Be Like Jesus”

yes, first reason is that Mom edited and filmed!

creativity was the second, super creative with the variation of dancing, drawing, singing, pointing to scripture, the baby; etc.

And they are my children’s friends at church and school :)

Great job to both!

9 | Kathleen

February 8th, 2010 at 9:45 AM

Loved number 2! Very creative with the scrabble pieces and the use of the chalkboard. I also loved watching them rock out with the instruments!

10 | AJ Olsavsky

February 8th, 2010 at 9:46 AM

#2 — though both videos are awesome!

11 | Jim

February 8th, 2010 at 9:59 AM

Both were very good, but my vote is for #2.

12 | Sarah

February 8th, 2010 at 10:06 AM

Video #2 for these reasons:

1) It’s more creative- chalk board/scrabble pieces/book/Bible
2) It flows better
3) The camera is at kid level, not above them
4) The editing was great

and the final reason-
5) My little brother voted for video #2. He liked that it was “cool” and that the kids acted out things for the lyrics, whereas in video #1 he said he didn’t always understand why certain actions they did went with the particular lyrics. As an adult, I obviously understood, but since it’s a kid’s song, it’s important they see how the lyrics line up with the actions, and he didn’t always see the match.

13 | Becky

February 8th, 2010 at 10:10 AM

I vote for video #2.

The kids were adorable and looked like they had so much fun making the video. It was very creative and well put together!

14 | Julie Betz

February 8th, 2010 at 10:23 AM

Both were great – my vote goes to #2 – great video – loved the guitar/drum playing, scrabble tiles, interaction between brother and sister and of course the baby!

15 | Sacha Turek

February 8th, 2010 at 11:14 AM

I’m going to go with #2. : ) Go Cannon’s!

16 | Sarah

February 8th, 2010 at 11:27 AM

#2. A little heavy on the special effects pane in iMovie, but great editing and creative interpretation.

17 | Jennifer Griffin

February 8th, 2010 at 12:36 PM

#2 has my vote but, both were awesome!!!!

18 | Rachel

February 8th, 2010 at 1:01 PM

I vote for #2.

19 | Beth

February 8th, 2010 at 1:08 PM

Gotta go with Video #1. I am in a big family and I’m shamelessly going with the one with more kids (I did like the editing, too, though) Maybe video #2′s family will catch up, eventually! :)

20 | Kathy Tucker

February 8th, 2010 at 1:22 PM

They were both very good and obviously took a lot of work. I have to go with Video #1. It was obvious that considerable thought went into meshing the significance of the drama with the lyrics. I liked the pots and pans on the playground equipment.

21 | Jane

February 8th, 2010 at 1:38 PM

I vote for video #2 because that’s what my kids say I should vote for. They liked it because of the scrabble letters, instrument playing and the baby.

22 | Lidia

February 8th, 2010 at 1:42 PM

wao! BOB… both are great!

I’m voting for #2

But I really have to say that there were some pretty good shots on video #1 … the kids playing the piano, the trombone, the waiting on line for the bathroom, the calendar, the kid taking the toy… that was all good!!

But over all video #2 was better directed and edited. I have to say minute 1:56 (the little girl’s face) sold me the whole video!! LOL

Congrats to all the kids and their parents. Hope and wish all those beautiful kids turn out to be JUST LIKE JESUS. That’s the most important part. May this video help them remember that for ever and for generations to come.

23 | jeffrey.herbert

February 8th, 2010 at 1:45 PM

My 7 year old daughter Genevieve and I watched these. We enjoyed them both but we liked #2 even though # 1 was really good.

thanks

24 | Herb Hunter

February 8th, 2010 at 2:04 PM

Loved #1 especially. I vote for it!

25 | Danielle

February 8th, 2010 at 3:49 PM

My vote is for #2! The beginning with the scrabble letters and overall creativity was great.

Both videos were great, though!

26 | Julia

February 8th, 2010 at 4:32 PM

my vote is for vid # 2 i like the writing on the chalk board of the fruits of the Spirit.

27 | Jeff

February 8th, 2010 at 4:48 PM

I enjoyed #2 the most!

28 | The Huie Family

February 8th, 2010 at 5:14 PM

We like video #2 I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS. Both videos had incredibly cute stars! The second one seemed to capture the message of the song stronger.

29 | Manwiller Family

February 8th, 2010 at 5:16 PM

We vote for video #2. My 5 year old said “the second one because it had the kids playing the drums. My wife says she liked the use of the words in the visuals.
Both were great!

30 | David Nemati

February 8th, 2010 at 5:28 PM

I really liked #2, especially with the definition of love and fruits of the Spirit.

31 | Curt

February 8th, 2010 at 5:38 PM

Ok… any video with a horn section has got my vote!

32 | Deborah

February 8th, 2010 at 7:03 PM

Video #1 – no contest! Loved some of the less obvious connections between song words and actions, and as many have said – the horns!

33 | Karen

February 8th, 2010 at 7:26 PM

#2 All the the kids were sweet–and enjoyed worshiping Jesus! But I’m a little partial to my student Jack Cannon.

34 | Mari

February 8th, 2010 at 8:01 PM

I thought both videos were impressive. The children were wonderful to watch. I vote video #2 because of the extra creativity and great job on editing.

35 | LouAnn

February 8th, 2010 at 8:16 PM

Definitely #2, enthusiastic about who they are singing about, and adorable!!!!

36 | Clint

February 8th, 2010 at 8:23 PM

Video #2

37 | Hannah G.

February 8th, 2010 at 8:34 PM

Wow! These are both great! Amazing creativity in both, too.

My two year old son indicates that his vote is for video number two–he particularly liked the kids playing their kid-sized instruments, the guitar and the drums. And he danced and wiggled along with them!

38 | Sarah Jerez

February 8th, 2010 at 8:35 PM

This is hard…. kids are just cute!
But I’m going to vote for Video #2 “To Be Like Jesus”.
I just think in was really well thought out, coordinated, and edited. Loved the chalk board and scrabble ideas and choreography…. It was just very “music video – like”.

39 | Kathy

February 8th, 2010 at 8:39 PM

They were both great…. but my vote goes to #2!

40 | Aundrea

February 8th, 2010 at 9:11 PM

We liked them both but #2 wins by an edge. If you are counting families, we are 1 vote. If your counting people, we’re 7.

41 | Jennifer

February 8th, 2010 at 9:15 PM

Liked them both, but I vote for video #2

42 | Kelley

February 8th, 2010 at 9:31 PM

Both videos are great in their own way. There seems to me to be more connection with the lyrics in #1. But, more enthusiasm and creativity in #2.

Personally, I like song #2 better so my vote is for #2.

43 | Peter Baranski

February 8th, 2010 at 9:37 PM

My vote goes to #1. Better and more creative connection between the lyrics to video.

44 | Stephanie Andrews

February 8th, 2010 at 9:51 PM

I’m voting for #1!!!

45 | Nicki O'Donovan

February 8th, 2010 at 9:56 PM

My vote goes for video #2. Both were excellent but 2 is my preference.

46 | Tonya

February 8th, 2010 at 10:25 PM

video two .. loved it! so creative!

47 | Thomas Campbell

February 8th, 2010 at 10:33 PM

Video #2…I like the writing on the chalkboard and with the scrabble letters…

48 | Kathleen T

February 8th, 2010 at 10:57 PM

I vote for Video #1 “Gotta Wait.” The kids were natural which was perfect for the song. Their actions reflected the song.

49 | Jonathan Jerez

February 8th, 2010 at 10:59 PM

My vote goes to #2.

50 | Tom and Jeremy Esch

February 8th, 2010 at 11:17 PM

My 8 year old son Jeremy and I liked Video 1 Gotta Wait…
Jeremy: “I liked the way the kids were acting like they are playing real instruments”. Dad thought both were well done, but also chooses Video 1.

51 | Steve Zubrowski

February 8th, 2010 at 11:54 PM

Gotta go with #2!

52 | Les Benedict

February 8th, 2010 at 11:59 PM

I love video #1. We have 6 kids and I’ve got to say that the little ones in the first video adorable. The action seems natural and not staged. Most importantly, to me, to music is pleasant and joyful.

53 | Glen Jones

February 9th, 2010 at 1:06 AM

Video #2 – awesome guitar work by the boy!

54 | Philip

February 9th, 2010 at 1:19 AM

NUMBER 1!!!!

55 | Andrea Hicks

February 9th, 2010 at 1:20 AM

Both are great. But #1 has my vote for originality and hard work. The older children can be staged and coached, but
the little ones in #1 are just being themselves. The parents are creative in leading them into varied fun activities. They’ve done a good job editing to the happy,
joyful music as well.

56 | loraena

February 9th, 2010 at 1:49 AM

Both are good, but I must vote for #1. It’s more engaging and I felt that the action illustrates the truths in the song more concretely.

57 | Amber Ravatsås

February 9th, 2010 at 1:51 AM

I vote for #2 :)

58 | Carri

February 9th, 2010 at 4:05 AM

I like video #1 the best. It had more variety and scene changes, more kids and cuter things being done. That simple.

59 | Butch

February 9th, 2010 at 4:36 AM

#1 Natural setting shots more reflect the words.

60 | Rebecca Clancy

February 9th, 2010 at 6:09 AM

Well done to both videos!! Such beautiful children and joy for Jesus. My decision was neck and neck between the two, however my vote goes for #2. That baby chuckle was the closer.

61 | Barbara Croce

February 9th, 2010 at 6:37 AM

I am voting ofr #1! Great video, kids full of life and loving it!

62 | Jackie Kuehn

February 9th, 2010 at 7:15 AM

Video 1 gets my vote; it shows real-life scenes that depict the words of the song. The video even uses different seasons, different settings. Terrific!

63 | Phyllis Jacobi

February 9th, 2010 at 7:25 AM

I loved the first one.

64 | Debbie

February 9th, 2010 at 7:33 AM

Tough choice but I gotta go with #2.

65 | Rich Gunderlock

February 9th, 2010 at 8:09 AM

Gotta go with #1…

66 | Kathi Baillie

February 9th, 2010 at 8:13 AM

They were both well done…but my vote is for #2

67 | Danni Mencer

February 9th, 2010 at 8:27 AM

#1 – Definitely! I loved the song and the way the children interacted with the music. Loved the use of different locations and activities. The pots and pans outside are great! Creative editing, sweet kids!

68 | Enza

February 9th, 2010 at 8:34 AM

Both were really great but i do love the creativity in number 2…loved the scrabble idea!

69 | Cindy

February 9th, 2010 at 8:35 AM

Was going to let my kids decide, but they were a split decision. So I cast my vote for #2!

70 | Deanna

February 9th, 2010 at 9:06 AM

#1. (I agree with Andrea #55)

71 | Bob Morris

February 9th, 2010 at 9:08 AM

Great work on both! My vote has to go to video #1 though, because those kids and their parents all go to our church and they had the best pots and pans :-)

72 | Ericka

February 9th, 2010 at 9:17 AM

Definately loved #1!!

73 | Babette

February 9th, 2010 at 9:18 AM

I did like the scripted look of #2 at first; but the piecing of lots of scenes and instruments to match the lyrics and sound track made video #1 the top in my book. Great job to both families!

74 | susan hart

February 9th, 2010 at 9:23 AM

hi, friends–both were excellent, but i vote for #1. thanks for sharing them with us!

75 | Barb Cash

February 9th, 2010 at 9:42 AM

Number one, without a doubt. I can see how much thought went into this, and that it was done over a period of time. Love the expressions on the childrens’ faces!

76 | Barb Freligh

February 9th, 2010 at 9:58 AM

I vote for video #1. Awsome job!

77 | Maelys

February 9th, 2010 at 10:10 AM

Definitely #1, Gotta Wait :)

78 | Lisa Everett

February 9th, 2010 at 10:13 AM

Definitely Number #1, i like the younger children better interacting with each other.

79 | Audra

February 9th, 2010 at 11:08 AM

I vote for #1!

80 | edward choo

February 9th, 2010 at 11:57 AM

MY VOTE GOES TO #1

reason:

for the simple reason that the lyrics share real life experiences that these kids go through (and how hard it is for them)…

-not getting what he/she wants
-the hardness of waiting
-when the sister isn’t being kind
-brother taking what is his/hers

..but showing them, or more like pointing out who IS patient, kind, the person, JESUS CHRIST, in whom we are striving to be….

the message of patience!!!

i like it!!!

81 | Cheryl Curran

February 9th, 2010 at 12:11 PM

82 | Jenifer Upton

February 9th, 2010 at 12:19 PM

I vote for Vid #2. Love the creativity.

83 | althea

February 9th, 2010 at 12:32 PM

I liked no.1 the most. It really held my attention. Plus, I have to admit that I liked the slower pace of the song too which makes it easier for kids to learn. I thought the video fit the song perfectly and was really well done.

84 | Daniel Croce

February 9th, 2010 at 12:49 PM

These were both pretty hip vids, but #1 takes the cake.

85 | Lisa Shoemaker

February 9th, 2010 at 1:04 PM

I enjoyed watching all the kids play instruments (both videos), but my vote is for #2!

86 | Mary

February 9th, 2010 at 1:16 PM

Video #1 all the way! I love the kids and love them with instruments!

87 | bryan

February 9th, 2010 at 1:35 PM

#1

88 | Bob Mencer

February 9th, 2010 at 1:44 PM

#1! The music was better synched with the video and there was a greater diversity in the film production. The portrayal of the lyrics was masterfully connected to the videography.

89 | Tim Cochran

February 9th, 2010 at 1:49 PM

I showed the videos to 30 or so HS music students in my classes at a Christian school. Personally, I liked video one the best but the majority of my students voted for number two. Some said it was more like an “actual” music video that you would see on TV.

90 | Katherine Peschau

February 9th, 2010 at 2:46 PM

#2 is my vote!! It was great!!

91 | EvaM

February 9th, 2010 at 2:51 PM

#2, although both were very cute!

92 | John Kuehn

February 9th, 2010 at 2:55 PM

#1 all the way!!!
Awesome trombonist.

93 | sherly

February 9th, 2010 at 2:59 PM

# 2 ….love the use of the chalk board writings, the nodding of the heads & of cause sweetie girl on the drums ;)

94 | Ethel

February 9th, 2010 at 3:27 PM

I’m a great-grandma, and I love to watch kids in worship ! Both videos were great, but I have to go with # 2. To Be Like Jesus we have to do things that make our “Daddy” smile !

Blessings to both familys.

95 | tracey

February 9th, 2010 at 3:30 PM

VOTE#2 :: very kid friendly . displays a ‘kid-response’ when listening to the CD . fresh / clear / creative . special attention taken to make it viewable for kids of all ages . excellent !

96 | Verity Martin

February 9th, 2010 at 3:46 PM

Loved both these video’s Bob, but gotta vote for #1. I liked the montage’s of daily life and the trombone playing!

97 | Makenna

February 9th, 2010 at 3:57 PM

I loved # 1, and watched it over and over again!

98 | Sarah Vickery

February 9th, 2010 at 4:21 PM

I have to go with #1. The words were at a good pace and easy for kids to learn. I also love how #1 is not staged….just the kids living and playing in their Christian environment with the words relating so well.

99 | Jenn Kilmer

February 9th, 2010 at 4:50 PM

Both videos were great, but I loved #1 and my wee one was partial to it as well!

100 | Dave

February 9th, 2010 at 4:58 PM

#1 is NUMBER 1 !! :-)

101 | Bernie Henley

February 9th, 2010 at 5:00 PM

#1 the most fun & natural,kids having great fun.I love the keyboard & all the instruments, especially all the kitchen items. Great video.

102 | Laurel Smith

February 9th, 2010 at 5:59 PM

I loved video number one. I liked how the scenes were acted out which will make it easier for kids to understand the words.

103 | Damien Drago

February 9th, 2010 at 6:40 PM

Number 1!!!!!

104 | Karen

February 9th, 2010 at 6:45 PM

105 | Michelle

February 9th, 2010 at 6:50 PM

I put my vote in for video # 2.

106 | Aaron

I am going to vote for #1. But who was driving that van while video taping? I wonder….. :)

107 | Luanne Cortelyou

February 9th, 2010 at 8:21 PM

#2 was very good. Number one was super. The family is so creative and I love the natural playtime rather than staging everything. #1 is #1 in my book. I vote for #1.

108 | Ruth Ann Kolb

February 9th, 2010 at 8:26 PM

Both were good, but I like # 1 best, especially the horn !

109 | Michael Pitts

February 9th, 2010 at 8:40 PM

I vote for #1! I like the song choice better and the video went really well with the song’s lyrics….plus it was really cute how when the music was piano that they showed the kids playing piano (etc. with the trombones and other horns). GREAT editing overall and had a good message :)

110 | Richard

February 9th, 2010 at 8:57 PM

I really like Video #1 because it shows kids doing kid-things that relate to the message of the song; and it’s easy to get the message of the song because the lyrics are clearly woven into the scenes. Great job!

111 | Jon Ruth

February 9th, 2010 at 9:25 PM

Well, I don’t know if my vote counts, but I guess I’ll vote for my video #1 if it does! Thanks for all the nice comments everyone – I think the other video was great and it was an honor to be selected as a finalist! My kids loved watching #2 – Phoebe (3) said “woah that boy is really good at the guitar!”

To answer a few of your questions…

-Yes, I was driving while recording that one scene. It wasn’t actually recorded for this – Phoebe was singing a song that was so great I had to record it and I did it without taking my eyes off the road – the camera has a great large viewfinder and I just held it up. I thought it worked well in the video.

-It was me (dad) who did the recording and editing. Caribou Productions is just something I made up (kind of an inside joke from my days as a ska musician – long story) – but I like to play with the media functions of my mac!

-We’re looking forward to the next SG kids cd – when is it coming out? :)

112 | Adam

February 9th, 2010 at 9:30 PM

Gotta go with Video #1. It was put together extremely well and i liked how the music matched up with the videos (when the music had a horn playing and the girls were playing a horn, the same with the piano at times). Plus those girls are adorable.

113 | Elliott Sweet

February 9th, 2010 at 9:36 PM

#1 gets my vote. Parts of #2 were so herky-jerky I could hardly watch it.

114 | Kerry

February 9th, 2010 at 9:41 PM

I vote for video #2. The kids are so cute and I love the way the video was shot and edited. The baby was tooooo cute.

Great job!

115 | Judy Traxler

February 9th, 2010 at 9:58 PM

I vote for video#1. It shows lots of activities children do that can be used to develop patience. Very creative!

116 | Bekah

February 9th, 2010 at 10:28 PM

Number #1 was GREAT! Captured kids doing what kids do and it was a lot of fun!

117 | Aimee

February 9th, 2010 at 10:32 PM

Both of them are adorable, but I’m voting for #2….great editing!

118 | Paul

February 9th, 2010 at 10:47 PM

Although I liked several of the scenes in video 1, video 2 had more elements of a true music video and captured the energy of the song. I really believe those kids do want to be like Jesus!

Gotta vote for video 2.

119 | Bob Kauflin

February 9th, 2010 at 11:01 PM

Jon, Lord willing, the next Sovereign Grace kids’ CD will be coming out in June 2010. It will be based on the book of Proverbs. Thanks for asking!

You gotta love the trombone shot!

121 | Holl

122 | mr c

I vote for the Cannon video for more than obvious reasons…

: )~

123 | Lindsay

February 10th, 2010 at 9:00 AM

I gotta go with #2. It’s just too cute (not to mention very well done and quite clever). The style was very much like a true music video but really the baby won me over:)

124 | Laurie Z

February 10th, 2010 at 9:37 AM

Video #2 got my three year old girlie’s vote!

125 | Greg

February 10th, 2010 at 10:26 AM

My vote is for #1. The kids seemed more natural. #2 was a little plastic.

126 | Lew Brill

February 10th, 2010 at 10:29 AM

They are both really good, but my vote is for #1. I love the song about patience. It’s easy for kids to follow and sing, and my kids started singing along.

127 | Joanna

February 10th, 2010 at 10:32 AM

Gotta go with #2
I’m a sucker for guitars and drums, and the song was easier to get into!

128 | Kim

February 10th, 2010 at 10:33 AM

Both videos were great.
My Vote is for #2

129 | DJ

#2 – love it!

130 | Beth

February 10th, 2010 at 10:46 AM

Both are cute, but my vote is for Video #2.

131 | mitzi

February 10th, 2010 at 10:58 AM

#1 gets my vote. while the scrabble letters, chalk board writing and cute kids were great in #2, it felt like that’s all you saw over and over and over again…

#1 seemed to put more thought into matching up lyrics and action.

132 | Hevy

February 10th, 2010 at 11:08 AM

148 | Harry C

February 10th, 2010 at 2:39 PM

I think #2 is the best and the kids remind me of my family so long ago. Good work by the production company too. Mom Video Productions.

149 | Naomi

February 10th, 2010 at 2:44 PM

#1 gets my vote!

150 | jerri connellee

February 10th, 2010 at 2:50 PM

I have to go with video # 2-the children are wonderfully talented as well as beautiful! You can definitely see that they are raised in a Christ centered home. Mom did great too!

151 | June Sinclair

February 10th, 2010 at 3:25 PM

I vote for video#1. Glory to God.

152 | Aaron C.

February 10th, 2010 at 3:44 PM

My 2-year-old consistently said she liked video #1. So, it gets our vote.

153 | Lucy

February 10th, 2010 at 4:19 PM

I definately vote for #1!

154 | Emily Clancy

February 10th, 2010 at 4:29 PM

Love the creativity of #2! I think it shows a lot of thought as to how to convey the message of the song in a fun, but still polished, way!

155 | Melanie

February 10th, 2010 at 4:52 PM

Vote for #2!

156 | MARILYN

February 10th, 2010 at 5:16 PM

gotta go with #1 definately

157 | Rich Croce

February 10th, 2010 at 5:34 PM

Video #1 for me, I love the way the kids are depicted, and the way they seem to illustrate the lyrics…it was beautifully done!

158 | Pam

February 10th, 2010 at 6:56 PM

I vote for video #2! Very creative!

159 | Patti Parisi

February 10th, 2010 at 7:00 PM

I vote for video #2. The first time I saw this my heart was full of joy! What a wonderful job Abby and the children did on this video.
Can you tell I am a very proud Aunt?

160 | Melanie

February 10th, 2010 at 7:08 PM

both were great! My vote is for #2 :)

161 | Jean and Evelyn

February 10th, 2010 at 9:34 PM

I like #1. Evelyn likes #2. Guess we cancel each other out. Both were great!

162 | Andrew K

February 10th, 2010 at 10:23 PM

Tough decision!

I know that I preferred the song for the second one – that wasn’t hard. I think that influenced my choice of video, too.

I’m going to vote for the second one – by a whisker.

163 | Tedd Cash

February 10th, 2010 at 10:23 PM

Number One has my vote! Those girls are really having a great time and enjoying themselves.

164 | Cindy Caton

February 11th, 2010 at 12:03 AM

While both videos are great, I vote for #1. Although the chalkboard was cute, the lyrics were easier to follow in #1. I see from a previous posting that Dad did a good job of editing. The actions of the children are natural, not staged, and fit well with the lyrics. Kids and adults can both relate to this one.

165 | Jen Messmer

February 11th, 2010 at 12:16 AM

#1 all the way…loved the song, loved the variety of scenes…

166 | Sarah

February 11th, 2010 at 1:38 AM

#1. Definitely. First of all, great song! And the children were acting out some of the lyrics without even knowing it. It was so precious!

167 | Milen Minchev

February 11th, 2010 at 3:21 AM

I like them both.
However, since I have to make a choice, I will go for number one.
Number one has my vote

168 | Mariela Katsova

February 11th, 2010 at 3:29 AM

Great songs, both of them, and the kids in the videos are soooooo cute!!!
It is a tough decision indeed.
My vote goes to number one, the song seems easier to remember. However, I do like them both.

169 | tammy g

February 11th, 2010 at 7:47 AM

I vote for #2. Love both songs though, will have them posted on my fb page as soon as I can get to it. God Bless the children, that they each be raised up to be like Jesus.

170 | Paula Saylor

February 11th, 2010 at 8:55 AM

My vote goes to Video #1, Gotta Wait, by Jonathan Ruth. Both are terrific, though!

171 | Sandy

February 11th, 2010 at 9:23 AM

No. 2, all the way, beautiful children, awesome editing.

172 | Shannon

February 11th, 2010 at 9:49 AM

After watching both of the videos with my kids….I asked them which one they liked the best!

And the verdict is….video #1!!

173 | Beckie Hutchings

February 11th, 2010 at 9:50 AM

Both were darling, but Gotta Wait (video #1) has my vote.

174 | Sherri Brenneman-Bell

February 11th, 2010 at 9:51 AM

Video #1- Gotta Wait

175 | Becky

February 11th, 2010 at 10:08 AM

They are both good – but I’d have to go with video #2. Kids really did a great job acting out alot of the words or meaning of the song.

176 | Kristi

February 11th, 2010 at 11:22 AM

They are both adorable but my vote goes to #2. So precious!!!!

177 | Sally

February 11th, 2010 at 12:28 PM

Love #2. Children are beautiful and baby is precious. I can see that a lot of children will want to join in, dance, sing along, and learn about Jesus.

178 | Hayden

February 11th, 2010 at 1:13 PM

Gotta Wait- that’s my 4-yr old’s vote :)

179 | Michelle

February 11th, 2010 at 1:17 PM

I vote for #1. I like the free-form, natural style.

@Jon & Mrs. C- great job filming & editing

@all the kids in the videos- Wow! You really got my family engaged in these songs! Super job!

@the people who compared which video had “cuter kids”- Bad form. Totally inappropriate.

180 | Taffy

February 11th, 2010 at 1:22 PM

#2 is the best … I love the children!

181 | Carrie Parisi

February 11th, 2010 at 1:52 PM

184 | Thomas

February 11th, 2010 at 6:09 PM

Number 2! Better editing and better production concepts. The song was more upbeat and driving, and the drum fill was amazing.

185 | Bob Kauflin

February 11th, 2010 at 7:49 PM

With a little over 4 hours to go, the vote is 101-83, with Video #2 on top…Thanks for all the responses. Can Video #1 stage a rally?

193 | Beth

February 11th, 2010 at 8:19 PM

I’d say number 2. Both were fun, but 2 seemed more put together, a little more creative thought. I wanna do one!

194 | Judith

February 11th, 2010 at 8:24 PM

# 1 gets my vote. Great job on both!

195 | Patience & Joy

We liked #1…very easy to relate to. We have to wait a lot! :)

196 | susan Campbell

February 11th, 2010 at 8:30 PM

I can see why the second is popular. The song is catchy and the choreography is great. But I’m going with video #1 as my favorite. Kids are REALLY cute!!

197 | Mike L.

February 11th, 2010 at 8:37 PM

Definitely #2!!

198 | Nick

February 11th, 2010 at 8:39 PM

200 | Jake

February 11th, 2010 at 8:59 PM

I liked both but I have to put my vote on #1. The kiddos in both videos are adorable!

202 | Matt

February 11th, 2010 at 9:10 PM

#2!

203 | Kate

February 11th, 2010 at 9:15 PM

#2 gets my vote! I love the clever editing and the use of scrabble letters and writing on the chalkboard to reinforce the main points of the song. It reminded me more of a true music video…very polished! Great job!

204 | Liz Ney

February 11th, 2010 at 9:17 PM

But you might wanna consider a consolation prize, Bob–do you REALLY want to make those cute kids cry?

207 | Angela Arbogast

February 11th, 2010 at 9:43 PM

I vote for Video #1. They were both great, but I found the scenes in the first one to be quite poignant and heartwarming.

208 | Michelle

February 11th, 2010 at 9:43 PM

#1 – but it’s really close. They are both so good!!

209 | Chrissy Boyd

#2 – Cute kids, talented mommy, great pacing, very fun.

213 | Trillia

February 11th, 2010 at 10:34 PM

This was such a fun idea. I vote for number 1. I liked how it demonstrated the attitudes, situations, etc. from the song.

I will say number 2 was really well done!!

Two different songs- maybe they both could win. :)

214 | Lindsey

February 11th, 2010 at 10:45 PM

Number 2!! Go mama!

215 | Aunt Fran
