Very strong round overall I thought (certainly more than doubled the amount of Thanks I handed out from Round 1 anyway), have a few thoughts for some of my fellow contestants...
@Wichita Lineman not an Adele song I think I'm familiar with, had to go listen to the original and wasn't ringing any bells, but I imagine I must have had heard it at least a couple of times. Loving the cover though, big fan of Allie Sherlock and I reckon its not the last we'll see of her in this game...
@jp liz v1 another one where I don't think I knew the original version, but having listened to both, this cover is class, and may possibly be my favourite of the round (toss up between this and Allie Sherlock anyway), the accordian player definitely elevates it for me...
@Leg End Reject big fan of the original and really love this cover, another of the standouts for me. Clearly not enough Karate Kid II fans knocking about these parts.
@Declan A Walsh despite the reactions the judges have given this, I don't think it deserves such a bad rep and while I can see where their criticism is coming from, it works really well for me as a live cover. It stood out for me much more for the right reasons than a fair few of others in the round.
@Sephiroth_Dude while I agree with Shane's critique of the male vocalist, the whole package really works for me, its a lot of fun, very energetic, would listen again, two thumbs up...
