i'll go with AJ's vocals over Paul's for sure
Paul should have done this years ago (1990s-early 2000s) when he still had a decent voice
as for the same songs by different artists at the same time...
used to happen more frequently in the 1950s-60s more so than today because professional songwriters used to write songs and artists would sing them, not writing their own material.
some examples on the UK charts back in the day: (im sure MH could add examples from the US charts also)
Unchained Melody: May '55 Al Hibbler, Jimmy Young, Lee Baxter
Stranger In Paradise: June '55 Tony Bennett, Four Aces, Tony Martin
Yellow Rose Of Texas: Oct '55-Jan -56 Mitch Miller, Ronnie Hilton, Gary Miller, Stan Freburg
Robin Hood: Jan '56 Gary Miller, Dick James
Young & Foolish: Feb '56 Edmund Hockeridge, Ronnie Hilton
Blue Suede Shoes: June '56 Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley
Walking Hand In Hand: Aug '56 Ronnie Carroll, Jimmy Parkinson
Wayward Wind: Aug '56 Gogi Grant, Tex Ritter
Green Door: Dec '56 Frankie Vaughan, Jim Lowe
** plenty more examples i could have given also Ruby**
