@Declan A Walsh Boyzone - Love Me For A Reason
Johnny Bristol

My favourite today is :

@ari101 - Boyce Avenue feat. Fifth Harmony - Mirrors
Original Artist: Justin Timberlake

What the hell was I thinking with my entry 🤦‍♂️ 😩

Yeah I like that one too Wichy. Gone with a top 5 after a few listens to each and they are

Spears - I'm normally bored by the girl/guy with the acoustic guitar in a scenic location/on their couch etc but really enjoyed this one.
Seph - I like Bastille anyways and love No Scrubs so this is pretty much the perfect combo... Not sure how *live* it is though but if it's good enough for Dermot... I mean Kol then it's good enough for me.
Ari - Boyce Avenue were submitted to me before in a Walrus I think and they did well there and it's no different here. I like the arrangement along with the track being a banger anyways.
Aaron - in my bad books yesterday, top of the class today. Absolutely loved that by Morrisette, fantastic voice.
R*SOAPS - another N*Sync track, another winner. This has no right to be so good as yer man is all over the place in terms of pitch but I don't know it sort of adds to it? Definitely very different anyways.

EN's No Diggity just falls outside the top 5 for me.

The rest...

Let's see how the voting goes.

Just want to highlight Soapys pick today, absolutely brilliant. Great rendition and everyone looks like they are having a blast, the 3 lads on guitars were great.
Pick of the game so far for me, but what do I know, I'm just the host.

I nearly entered their version of Bye Bye Bye Tongue

He's a PMJ regular, too, isn't he?

Only listened to the first half, but this is my favourite so far. I'm a sucker for someone drumming an acoustic guitar, and he's got a really good voice

Did Lorcand enter a Beatles song for every round? Rsoaps and E.N. my top two.

Haha that's why I said last night I wish it wasn't Boys V Girls today, didn't realize till after I submitted that I included 2 Beatles covers in my answers, just unlucky they came back to back.. more variety to come if I survive Smile

Surprise favourite for me today was @aaronjennings, wouldn't be a Little Mix fan but she did it very well.. Enjoyed EN & Ari's too

I like @Leg End Reject entry but the guitar is strong over taking the vocal

I have a suspicion I may have or was going to enter Chet Baker No Diggity also, love it

Shite 😬

Confession time, I was really in a hurry and didn't listen to the full song. I'll have to hope for some sympathy votes. I'll listen to the others later and vote.

Yeah, whoever was on the mixing desk should be sacked on the spot. Might be a good cover there, but they've stopped anyone hearing it Sad

Between EN's and Ari's nominations for my favourite today - EN's for being the 'best', but Ari's as the one I'd most likely listen to again

Yeah, I've seen Casey do quite a few with PMJ alright.

Wasn't vibing with many of today's entries to be honest, but my fave were...

@DejaBoo really like the vocals on this, and good to see a Dixie Chicks cover in the mix.

@jp liz v1 the vocals won me over here and a huge improvement on the original track (not that that was a high bar to surpass in the first place though)

@Declan A Walsh Boyzone - Love Me For A Reason

@Declan A Walsh shame you were eliminated yesterday, because this is a solid choice, Love Me For A Reason is an absolute tune.

Original Artist: Blackstreet

It may be blasphempous to say, but No Diggity is one of those songs that I've never understood the appeal and has always grated on me, to the point I can't even give this cover an unbiased opinion. From a technical standpoint I can see its done well, but I can't enjoy it even a little bit. Soz.

This afternoon...

Would listen again
Spears, seph, Butty, Wichy, ari

Enjoyed it but wouldn't seek it out
Deja, leggy, lorc, EN

Not my cup of tea
Liz, jluv, aaron, RSOAPS

My favourite, purely on nostalgia, was Declan! Double sorry now for booting you last night!

My favourite of those left in, probably Spears Smile

I liked the songs from @jp liz v1 and @aaronjennings

@Sephiroth_Dude I wasn't too keen on this. Scrubs is a great song and I do like Bastille, but I just wasn't feeling the cover. Sounded like he was singing the song very rushed. Didn't think it worked.

Was surprised that I liked @Leg End Reject submission. Don't like the original song, but I actually enjoyed the cover version.

My favourite were by @ari101 @DejaBoo @E.N. - Loved these covers.

Super sorry, but jaysus noooooooooo @Declan A Walsh!!!!!! Big Grin

You've got a lot of love on the thread so far for your song so my opinion shouldn't matter. But my god, I cringe every time I hear that song. no. no. no. Tongue

Delighted to see so much love for NSYNC/Justin Timberlake in the round.

NSYNC were my guilty pleasure when I was way too cool to like any boybands in my youth Big Grin

RSoaps was my surprise like of the day - if you described that to me in words it'd be a... Nope! Yet I really enjoyed it 😁
I have like lots of the entries from all round so far, I'm just struggling to find time to multitask voting and commenting 😅
Boyce Avenue are great - I did momentarily think about trying do all the categories with Boyce Avenue covers... In the end I decided to share the love and only picked one (...I think 🤔) 🤣

Votes have been counted.

@jp liz v1 and @Butty Brennan

[Image: images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTpUe-5lEGkHbdHMrOUX-w...g&usqp=CAU]

LIZ - Carelle - Ego

BUTTY - All Saints - Lady Marmalade

Over to our judges @nothing @ShaneU @Necro

Please tell us who you are sending home and your reason why.

The highest voted act this week 12 votes

@E.N. Chet Faker - No Diggity

Well done EN.

Butty was in my top tier, so I can't justify sending him home, unfortunately liz was in my bottom, so I'm afraid I have to send @jp liz v1 home.

Sorry liz!

Again at least one of the entries shouldn't be here but because the public are easily swayed by sob stories (cough Leg End cough) Tongue

here we are.

The songs submitted tonight are...eh. Neither are great and so I go back and forth and review previous entries.

On one hand there's Butty who jointly topped the poll last night with a song I felt was a very safe choice. Tonight an equally "safe" choice has fallen flat on its arse and only two people liked it....

Then we have Liz with four thanks. Similar to yesterday.

You can be on top one week and rock bottom the next and the question is does Butty deserve a reprieve based on yesterday....

In honesty? Off this song? Nope.

I thought my monologue would end up with me voting Liz but I really dislike that All Saints version of Lady Marmalade to be honest.

So tonight Dermot I'll be sending home Butty Brennan.

Having said that I'm surprised I'm not in the vote off after the sound quality was pointed out. My entries were rushed though, although I love my song in the Irish category, so chances are that's when I'll be kicked out.
