I love EPs of covers, they're usually really interesting. Bartees Strange has one of The National songs, it's brilliant. But I entered one into a dead walrus that I'm still hoping might get resurrected

Disturbed - Sound of Silence
Again this falls into the overplayed side of things a bit. I absolutely love the track (equally I love that these two entrants in particular picked this entry
), but I’ve heard so much of late I was even voting for it in Kol’s over-rated song tourney 
It’s still deserving of this spot though.

Hard to fault anything Def Leppard do tbf. Loved this upbeat number. Only for some of the others above this are equally as strong it prob scores much higher.

Orville Peck – Born This Way
Just love the countrified version of this track. I’m not gone on the original GaGa version, truth be told – I like how this is stripped back just to his voice and couple of instruments. Nice entry.

Ha this is just class, and I didn’t even watch the video until I was compiling the writeups. Excellent cover, excellent entry.

Ehhh…. This was all just a bit too psychedelic and weird for me. Too much going on in terms of instruments I think.

This is a cracking track. Really enjoyed it from start to finish. Bonnie Tyler is brilliant anyways but funnily enough I had not heard this before but I really just loved it. Great, Great choice

Neowise has a 5 point lead on Spears at the top presently but the gap to the others is not very much...
Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick and nothing are bearing down on the leader as well with two rounds to go...
I'll probably reveal the final two rounds maybe Tuesday or Wednesday evening of next week...

Had good laugh at me and diamonds picking the same song. no cogging was done. honest.
Just haven't been as exposed to its as you and recall it being an excellent cover.
hurt is another exceptional cover where i prefer the cover to the origional.
I did try to rabbit hole disturbed, but its just this cover that I enjoy, really didn't gel to their other tracks.
i have to agree with you over the sos track, i did try to like it, but it is lacking, i was waiting for the whole song for it to kick into gear, but then it just ended. sorry e.n.

It's the E-Tray. I've done a good few practice modules the last few days and it's not too bad. It's pretty much what I do (minus the delegation) on a daily basis anyways so it's just timing moreso that I wanted to practice.
Good Luck

Something Blue
I’m an open book for this, I’m not sure what blues actually is as a genre. Something depressing…ish? Anyways just the one sample vid this round, perked my interest in the genre and I went down a rabbithole of this fella’s music. No idea if it IS actually bluesy or not but whatever.
All music shall hereby be judged and compared to Colter Wall
