Tied up with kittens

Here is a very short video I created using Adobe Premiere based off of Negativland's "Favorite Things", using The Sound of Music's "Favorite Things" song.

I have two versions: one without any transitions between clips, and one with transitions. This first example has no transitional effects applied to the clips.

In the next example, I added cross-fades in-between each clip. Can you hear the difference?
