Sad Songs Song Tournament

Tools    





It's definitely a valid point. I noticed that the Bob Dylan cover song seems to be doing well in this tournament too. Maybe that and The Beatles cover song should have been nominated in the recent Cover Song song tournament. IMO, they're both better than the original artists versions.
Blasphemy

hmm...
I think if they do win they shouldn't bear the name of Bob or the Beatles. I think the wording should be changed in the rounds now if they're going forward.
Some people are commenting on the pairing as if it is really those guys, so they're obviously not listening properly. I think we should change the name to 'Unknown artist - Yesterday' and 'Unknown artist - Knockin' on Heavens Door' in the next rounds. Sorry if you think this is pedantic but both Bob and The Beatles mean a lot to me and so does music in general.

Elton John - Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word vs. R.E.M, - Everybody Hurts

The Cranberries - Put Me Down vs. Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms (Alternate Link for U.S.)

Three Days Grace - Fallen Angel vs. Kevin Sharp - Nobody Knows

Oasis - Don't Go Away (Alternate Link for U.S.) vs. The Band Perry - If I Die Young I like both of these, but I like If I Die Young loads more without the awfully twee video. Just looking at those boys hair puts me off, but without vid it's a nice song. I like the country flavour and the banjos and violins

Portishead - Glory Box[/b] vs. Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven

Billie Holiday - Gloomy Sunday
vs. Swans - No Cure For The Lonely

Imagine Dragons - Demons
vs. Metallica - Fade to Black



I'll need to wait 'til later. If something happens to where I can't get back to them in time, don't worry with my whereabouts. Go ahead. I'm leaving in just a bit, and I won't be back until Friday night. I'm taking care of someone who just got out of rehab for physical therapy. They're older, and I'd feel a lot better knowing that they're able to cook, clean, etc . . . on their own, before I allow them to live alone. Have fun!

That's fair. If they go through to the next round, I'll change the artists' names to "Unknown Artist" on each of those songs.

ROUND 2 - DAY 4:

Portishead - Glory Box[/b] vs. Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven

@christine, I'm just double-checking that your vote in this match is for "Portishead - Glory Box" because you missed the opening BOLD tag.

ROUND 2 - DAY 3:

Black Sabbath - Solitude [Cathedral cover version] vs. Lady Antebellum - Need You Now - I like both of these

@christine, I'm not going to force you to vote in this match if you don't want to, but it's a tie, and you're the only one who skipped it, so I'll give you the first chance to break the tie.

If you don't want to vote in that match, let me know and I'll find a random MoFo to break the tie.

We'll wait a day or two for the following people to vote, but then we'll have to close the last two sets to move on to Round 3.


These are the people who haven't voted in the previous sets:

DAY 3 is still open for @christine to vote in this match only:

Black Sabbath - Solitude [Cathedral cover version] vs. Lady Antebellum - Need You Now


DAY 4 is still open for @Ðèstîñy, @Little Devil and @mistique to vote.



sorry GBG I always choose one or the other so it's just rushing or trying to vote on my phone that's messed up!

@christine, I'm just double-checking that your vote in this match is for "Portishead - Glory Box" because you missed the opening BOLD tag.
oops sorry GBG I was voting for Portishead
