Take your time, my head will be the same size in ten or twenty years time so no rush

I'm reposting this just to let everyone know where we stand right now. We can't move on to Round 4 until all the votes are in for Round 3, so we'll leave the last two sets open for one more day to let everyone vote, but if everyone hasn't voted by tomorrow (Monday) night, we'll have to close Round 3 so we can move on to Round 4.


DAY 1 is still open for @Ðèstîñy and @Derek Vinyard to vote.

DAY 2 is still open for @Ðèstîñy, @Sarge and @Derek Vinyard to vote.

ROUND 3 - DAY 2:

Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over vs. Gary Jules – Mad World
Tough one. Love both and changed my mind numerous times but Mad world just edges it.

Third Eye Blind - How's It Going to Be vs. Chris Stapleton - Daddy Doesn't Pray Here Anymore

A Great Big World, Christina Aguilera - Say Something vs. Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia

Imagine Dragons - Demons vs. Kevin Sharp - Nobody Knows

Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms (Alternate Link for U.S.) vs. Unknown Artist - Yesterday

R.E.M, - Everybody Hurts vs. James Brown - Mama's Dead

Mark Chesnutt - I'll Think of Something vs. A-Ha - Stay on these roads

Devil Doll - It Was Raining vs. Cesaria Evora - Sodade (Alternate Link for U.S.)

How'd you get on?

Not bad. Good first half. Some cramping issues in the 2nd half which led to me finishing behind my target pace, so I have just signed up to another one in 8 weeks time in order to put it right.

Best of luck with the 'rematch' then - tires me out just watching one

Well done!

Thanks doing the Rock n Roll marathon on the 28th May in Liverpool to try and do better.

I was trying to wait for Ðèstîñy to vote, (I think we lost Derek Vinyard because he's been voting in the other song tournament, but not this one ), but I think we've waited long enough. I have no choice but to close Round 3 so we can move on to Round 4.
