Sad Songs Song Tournament

ROUND 1 - DAY 7

Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven vs. The Sundays - Life Goes On

Anthony and the Johnsons' - Hope There's Someone vs. Oasis - Stop Crying Your Heart Out
Anthony's voice is just perfect for this song.

Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over vs. Marc And The Mambas - In My Room
Tough call, cut Crowded House just edges a bit ahead for me in the sad department.

A Great Big World, Christina Aguilera - Say Something vs. Avenged Sevenfold - Crimson Day

Noa - I Don't Know vs. Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
That voice was and remains one of the best for me. I just wish this song was not so overplayed. I've seen it now being covered on at least half a dozen talent shows.

RadioHead - Pyramid song vs. Jeffrey Osborne ~ You Should be Mine (The Woo Woo Song) (Alternate Link for Non-U.S.)

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Alone on the Rope vs. Tanya Tucker - Oh What It Did To Me
I gave this one to Noel, but I have to say I actually enjoy Tanya's voice more.

Michael Jackson - Gone too soon vs. Metallica - Fade to Black

ROUND 1 - DAY 8:

Wade Hayes - If I Wanted to Forget vs. Ben Howard- Empty Corridors I like the other song too, but Empty Corridors is good, I like the lyrics and the bongos on it!

Radiohead - Morning Bell/Amnesiac vs. Christina Perri - The Lonely

Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman - Time to Say Goodbye vs. Simon and Garfunkel - Sound of Silence I love Sound of Silence, and the other one is a little overwrought for my taste

Puff Daddy & Faith Evans ft. 112 - I'll Be Missing You vs. The Smiths - Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me (Alternate Link for Non-U.S.) Neither of the Smiths links worked for me but I did listen to another link. I like I'll Be Missing YOu More tho

Sinead O'Connor - Thank You for Hearing Me vs. Collin Raye - It Could Have Been So Good

Brenda Lee - The End Of The World vs. Bob Dylan - One Too Many Mornings - oh come on really a terrible decision to have to make! I love Brenda Lee's voice and this song is so sad, but it's against the real Dylan and some lyrics that mean a lot to me. Sorry Brenda, but you'll prob win anyway

A-Ha - Stay on these roads vs. Gretchen Peters - Everything Falls Away No contest, I love Gretchen Peters voice

Bright Eyes - Landlocked Blues vs. Portishead - Glory Box Damn! another difficult choice. I'm going with Landlocked Blues, because it's fresh to me. Glory is a classic, but I like Landlocked Blues simplicity, it sounds like it's recorded in his front room and I've just read that the female singer is Emmylou Harris, nice

I'll catch up with all the rounds now

ROUND 1 - DAY 8:

Wade Hayes - If I Wanted to Forget vs. Ben Howard- Empty Corridors

Radiohead - Morning Bell/Amnesiac vs. Christina Perri - The Lonely i would say the guys voice turned me off

Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman - Time to Say Goodbye vs. Simon and Garfunkel - Sound of Silence Bocelli and Brightman are brilliant however didnt hit me as it supposed to, it was more festive other than sad

Puff Daddy & Faith Evans ft. 112 - I'll Be Missing You vs. The Smiths - Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me (Alternate Link for Non-U.S.) none of the links worked for me so of course i went ahead and look it up myself and it was better than Puff&Faith

Sinead O'Connor - Thank You for Hearing Me vs. Collin Raye - It Could Have Been So Good

Brenda Lee - The End Of The World vs. Bob Dylan - One Too Many Mornings

A-Ha - Stay on these roads vs. Gretchen Peters - Everything Falls Away i love 80s however Peters is powerful

Bright Eyes - Landlocked Blues vs. Portishead - Glory Box
