Cover Versions vs Originals - Phase 2.7

Post by spiritualized »

Hello to all, thanks for your participation in the first round !
For this second round, we'll do an "unacclaimed songs" style of competing with the songs pitted against each other in groups of four.
Rank the songs by order of preference.
The first one will get 4 points, second 3, third 2 and last one 1
The second group having 5 contenders, we'll move to 5 points for the top song, etc...

The groups have been seeded by AM rank. You should base your rankings on the quality of the cover.

If I've made a mistake, don't hesitate to shout ! Votes will close next Monday @ 12:00 European Time

STIMPY Group
Vasia Vasylok - The Wedding Present
Steal My Girl - Postmodern Jukebox
Mr Pharmacist - The Fall

These groups still have two artists for each song. Shouldn't that be reduced to one?
