Exactly, I'm not voting them both through! Same with the two Mary's Boy Child.
So I picked my fave listed and voted against the other.
Variety is the spice of life!

not really fair, multiple songs against one.
There are 4 double A releases in the competition, interestingly 2 of them met in this round.
I think it is important to list both songs though you can take the first as being the more well know if you want. Up to you how you want to vote.

Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas? (1984) - still not a fan of band aid, tho
Mud - Lonely This Christmas (1974) - both terrible options, this one
Ed Sheeran - Perfect (2017) - not heard either one before, but I ‘ve never been into Michael Jackson
Leona Lewis - A Moment Like This (2006)
The Flying Pickets - Only You (1983) - Hallelujah has been so overplayed it’s become cringeworthy
Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You (1992) - ugh
The Justice Collective - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother (2012)
Nicole Kidman - Somethin' Stupid (2001) -but who told nicole kidman she could sing?
