Shoutout to whoever stole the Lissie cover before I could! Spin made me resubmit

I see some great artists here, so this is where I'll start!

Smooth Criminal - A little predictable, but a really good cover. I like this one more than the original. This cover obv lead to their break through, but it isn't their best song at all.

A Real Hero - Jesus this build up, I love it. Never heard of this song/the original I think.

Doin' Time - Overrated singer + lullaby = nope

All I Want - The original is WAY better, she really took the life out of this song.

Pursuit of Happiness - This is fine.

Take On Me - Nice version of a song I normally don't care for.

Circles - I like when the second singer comes in.

Blue on Black - Errrrrrr

Over the Rainbow - This is a classic; normally I'd say this shouldn't be touched I guess? But I really like it?

Maneater - Hmmm... liking the vocals, but the version of this song isn't great.

Wicked Game - This guy is such a great musician. Beautiful cover!

Hmm sry not my cup of tea.

Top 6

Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm
A Real Hero by Smallpools :garydance:
Doin' Time by Lana Del Ray
All I Want by Holly Henry
Pursuit of Happiness by Lissie
Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

Smooth Criminal - I like the energy in the song and have never minded it but I'll only vote for it if there's not enough songs that I like.

A Real Hero - this wasn't terrible. It's perfect for playing in the background when you're playing Fallout 4 for example. lol

Doin' Time - see above though I could probably grow to like this song. But it's almost exactly same as the original down to the music.

All I Want - I love the Kodaline song. The vocals are nice but I agree with Lamps about this version sucking the life out of the original song.

Pursuit of Happiness - this is nice! All kinds of nice. Who is this Lissie?

Take on Me - Anni be so sweet lol it's quite nice. I like.

Circles - I actually like the original so I was curious to hear what this one sounded like. Yeah, I like this.

Blue on Black - this is better than I was expecting. I don't know which songs are getting my votes yet.

Over the Rainbow - it's impossible not sing along to this. Don't pretend you don't. It is a classic song but this is very good.

Maneater - oh, this is nice! I like. I have to try to watch The Secret Life of Walter Mitty again.

Wicked Game - this is another I was very interested in hearing. I really enjoyed this. I'd like to check out what else this dude has done.

let's do this thang

Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm


-I like this version a lot tbh. I've heard it a bunch so I may not vote for it.



A Real Hero by Smallpools



-Fell asleep 10 seconds in. Pass.



Doin' Time by Lana Del Ray




-Love Sublime so I was very skeptical about this version. Its pretty good tbh. Enjoyed it a lot.


All I Want by Holly Henry



-soooo fucking slow. No thanks.


Pursuit of Happiness by Lissie



-egh. It's not great but not horrible. Probably voting for it since this playlist has been a dude so far.


Take On Me by Annie B. Sweet



-You know what, this isn't bad. I like the ukulele surprisingly.


Circles by Of Monsters and Men




-doing a Post Machode cover....nope. not going to do it.



Blue on Black by Five Finger Death Punch




-I can tell by the artist this is a spin pick. No thanks.



Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole




-one of my most favorite song renditions of all time. I didn't submit this pick because I figured someone else would. Giving this this nomination a pass and voting for it even though I've heard this a million times. The video is amazing too and brings a tear to my eye. RIP IZ!



Maneater by Grace Mitchell




-not too bad. Not a favorite but worthy of a vote in round 1.



Wicked Game by James Vincent McMorrow



-dude sounds like he has marbles in his mouth. no thanks



[VOTED FOR:

1. Doin' Time
2. Pursuit Of Happiness
3. Take Me On

6. Smooth Criminal

Blue on Black by Five Finger Death Punch -I can tell by the artist this is a spin pick. No thanks.

Would you rather I had submitted a Metallica song instead, like I had in my list originally? Plus, how can you hate on Brian May playing guitar?

Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm
--I've heard this song so many times, and still enjoy it.

A Real Hero by Smallpools
--Nope, couldn't get past the synth-high pitched wailing.

Doin' Time by Lana Del Ray
--While it's nice to finally be able to understand the lyrics to this song, the lyrics do not match the voice singing them, so it probably won't get my vote, but we'll see.

All I Want by Holly Henry
--zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Pursuit of Happiness by Lissie
--Don't recognize the original, but I enjoy this song, so it's on the to-vote list.

Take On Me by Annie B. Sweet
--This makes be want to be sitting on a beach in Hawaii sipping on some fruity pineapple drink.

Circles by Of Monsters and Men
--Interesting version of this song. I kinda like it.

Blue on Black by Five Finger Death Punch
--Best song in any playlist so far. If you don't like this song, you don't like rock music.

Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
--First, this is an awesome version of this song. Second, I swear I just saw a short on Disney+ that used this exact same music (different lyrics) called Lava. This is my prediction to win the entire competition this time.

Maneater by Grace Mitchell
--This is a good song. It may get a vote. This list is better than I was expecting from first look.

Wicked Game by James Vincent McMorrow
--I don't mind the song, but it's a bit slow for me.
