You can't make a rainbow without a little rain.
Guns N' Roses - Live and Let Die vs. Tom Jones and the Cardigans - Burning Down the House
I'm surprised you voted Guns N Roses over Tom Jones, it's cool, just not what I would have expected.

It surprised me too, but I didn't really like either song in that match, so I chose the one I disliked less, and surprisingly that was the Guns N' Roses song.

I'm glad you guys liked Chris Cornell's cover of Billie Jean. Chris is incredible.
You should also check out his cover of Prince's Nothing Compares 2 U. It beats Sinead's version.



ROUND 1 - FINAL DAY

Metallica - Whiskey in the Jar vs. The Doors-Gloria-The second is possibly my favorite song from my second favorite band, and my favorite song of the tournament. The other is good but nowhere near the original.

Soft Cell ~ Tainted Love (Gloria Jones) vs. The Smashing Pumpkins - Landslide-Never been a big fan of the first. I give the other a small edge.

kings of leon-dancing on my own vs. The Fugees ~ Killing Me Softly (Roberta Flack)-Surprisingly for my taste, I think the second is outstanding.

Talking Heads ~ Take Me to the River (Al Green) vs. Cornbread Red - Dream On (Aerosmith)-The first is good, but I have to go with a solid version of one of the greatest songs ever made.

Yaël Naïm - Toxic (Britney Spears) vs. Johnny Cash - Hurt-I liked the first and I don't enjoy the Cash song-such a downer.

Victoria Faiella - War Pigs (Black Sabbath) vs. The Doors - Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar) (Lotte Lenya)-Love The Doors and that song, but the other was a very cool version of another one of the greatest songs ever made.

Ike and Tina Turner - Proud Mary vs. Pearl Jam-Reign O'er Me-Obviously I like the first because I've nominated it twice. The other is my favorite Who song and Eddie Vedder kills it.

Mysto & Pizzi ~ Somebody's Watching Me (Rockwell) vs. Kirsten Dunst - Turning Japanese (The Vapors)-I thought the first was a mediocre version of a song I don't care about anyway. I had a little fun with the other one.

Ike and Tina Turner - Proud Mary vs. Pearl Jam-Reign O'er Me

Mysto & Pizzi ~ Somebody's Watching Me (Rockwell) vs. Kirsten Dunst - Turning Japanese (The Vapors)
Never, ever imagined I'd be voting for Ms. Dunst in one of these but the song's a classic and she does it justice




Final Day

Metallica - Whiskey in the Jar vs. The Doors-Gloria Should've had Thin Lizzy that's a cover I think? Isn't it a traditional tune?

Soft Cell ~ Tainted Love (Gloria Jones) vs. The Smashing Pumpkins - Landslide - great classic cover of Tainted Love

kings of leon-dancing on my own vs. The Fugees ~ Killing Me Softly (Roberta Flack) I like this version Of Killing Me, but it's Roberta Flack's version that properly moves me

Talking Heads ~ Take Me to the River (Al Green) vs. Cornbread Red - Dream On (Aerosmith)

Yaël Naïm - Toxic (Britney Spears) vs. Johnny Cash - Hurt I would've voted for that version of Toxic had it not been up against Johnnie. It's pretty good

Victoria Faiella - War Pigs (Black Sabbath) vs. The Doors - Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar) (Lotte Lenya) I don't like that Kurt Weill type music

Ike and Tina Turner - Proud Mary vs. Pearl Jam-Reign O'er Me - now this version of Proud Mary is a proper damn tune! What a woman Tina is!

Mysto & Pizzi ~ Somebody's Watching Me (Rockwell) vs. Kirsten Dunst - Turning Japanese (The Vapors) Can't get very enthusiastic about either of these

ROUND 1 - FINAL DAY



Metallica - Whiskey in the Jar vs. The Doors-Gloria
ive always liked the first one so was surprised to like the second one more
Soft Cell ~ Tainted Love (Gloria Jones) vs. The Smashing Pumpkins - Landslide
the one thing i like about MMs cover of tainted love is the instrumental-which makes every other versions seem a bit lackluster.Surprised by the second one seeing as its the smashing pumpkins
kings of leon-dancing on my own vs. The Fugees ~ Killing Me Softly (Roberta Flack)
i love love love this cover. the second one is obviously a classic though-didnt even know it was a cover.
Talking Heads ~ Take Me to the River (Al Green) vs. Cornbread Red - Dream On (Aerosmith)
Dream on is one of my favourite songs,it almost doesnt matter who sings in.The other one was good too though!
Yaël Naïm - Toxic (Britney Spears) vs. Johnny Cash - Hurt
OBVIOUSLY not as good as Britney,still however haunting and wonderful. Hurt is probably my favourite cash song so i love that too.
Victoria Faiella - War Pigs (Black Sabbath) vs. The Doors - Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar) (Lotte Lenya)
this one was the most difficult one this round-i really liked both. The first one had a great instrumental,with alot of great instruments that are not normally heard in todays music,must be great live,very shakira! The second one was also great and had you from the get go.
Ike and Tina Turner - Proud Mary vs. Pearl Jam-Reign O'er Me
honestly hadnt heard the second before but was sure proud mary would have it in the bag.but that was a great song.obv love proud mary aswell.
Mysto & Pizzi ~ Somebody's Watching Me (Rockwell) vs. Kirsten Dunst - Turning Japanese (The Vapors)
where is that second one from??
