Apologies we have a delay I repeat we have a delay

[Spears]

Oops, nearly forgot about this one. Good that there's a lil delay. I might get to make the actual reveal so🤞

Looking forward to the Madonna covers. I through together a quick submission, but the Madonna round has a few bad covers & I got bored after listening to a couple of songs. 

Hopefully there's a nice find in the mix by the other players 🙂

[jp liz v1]

We will re start and again apologies but I am Lizzy Late 

So we will reveal our Brucey round 

"A cover of any Bruce Springsteen song"

@guirienespana in their first Walrus gives us Manfred Mann's cover of Blinded by the Light 




My first time hearing this version and very enjoyable, good guitar 

@Irish Aris gives us Hot Chip with Dancing in the Dark



Very 80s and enjoyable, infectious 

Next up @Kol gives us Witness Festband with Hungry Heart 



Now I didn't hate it, very wedding band cover but did not love it either, I just was not grabbed by her voice

[jp liz v1]

Next we have my delicious @Butty Brennan with Dancing in the Dark by Cannons 



A new one for me, unique voice, haunting version, good pick 


@ari101 gives us Leann Rimes with Secret Garden



I just loved this

[jp liz v1]

@Declan A Walsh also gives us Manfred Mann's cover of Blinded by the Light 






As said above my first time hearing this version and very enjoyable, good guitar 



@Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick provides us Dancing in the Dark from Of Monsters and Men 



I heard this version once before but did not know the artist, enjoyed it then and still enjoy it, their vocals compliment each other, lovely version

[jp liz v1]

@Leg End Reject gives us married country couple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill with Tougher than the Rest 



I think for me it would be better as a Tim solo who does sound similar to Bruce 

@Spears gives us Sam Fender with Atlantic City 



I think he could do a full Bruce covers album, he does reminds me of Bruce in his sound on some of his own songs, one of my favourite Bruce songs, really enjoyed it 

Lastly we have @Edser with Frankie Goes to Hollywood with Born To Run 



This was new to me and they did a very good job

[jp liz v1]

From myself and Bruce thank you and here is the voting for round 1

ari101 - top spot with 10 points
Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick - 9
Irish Aris - 8
Butty Brennan - 7
Spears - 6
Declan A Walsh and guirienespana - 5
Edser - 4
Leg End Reject - 3
Kol - 2 (sorry last spot)

We will return soon with round 2 where it can all change from top to bottom 

[RSOAPS]

Surprised you hadn't heard Manfred Mann's cover of Blinded By The Light before - was a massive hit for them.

[jp liz v1]

Surprised you hadn't heard Manfred Mann's cover of Blinded By The Light before - was a massive hit for them.

I hadn't and as a Bruce fan I always look out for his songs covers    I need to spruce up by Bruce knowledge

[ari101]

🥳🥳🥳

I hadn't heard Leann's version before: I picked a few Bruce songs I like and searched for covers and that was my favorite by a long way. Glad you liked it 😁

[Spears]

@Spears gives us Sam Fender with Atlantic City 



I think he could do a full Bruce covers album, he does reminds me of Bruce in his sound on some of his own songs, one of my favourite Bruce songs, really enjoyed it 

Forgot about this game.

Glad you liked the song Liz. I don't know many of Brucies songs, & had no idea if the original was even credible or not. But I liked the sound of this cover so that's why I chose it.

Ill have a look over the other songs later

[jp liz v1]

We resume with Madonna for round 2 covers





@Leg End Reject gives us Manic Street Preachers with Borderline 



An interesting take on the song and not a bad cover 




@Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick gives us Leo Moracchioli with Like A Prayer



I feel still slightly traumatised and do need a prayer, not sure this metal cover is for me



@Spears gives us IMY2 with Lucky Star 



This surprised me, nice voice and take on the song, new to me

[jp liz v1]

@Edser  gives is Vita and Ashanti with Justify My Love




I knew Ashanti but not Vita so new to me, not bad, their voices work on the cover 


@Butty Brennan gives us H20 with Like a Prayer 




Sorry but not for me, just too shouty


@Declan A Walsh gives us Counting Crows with Borderline 

 

I really enjoyed this

[jp liz v1]

@ari101 gives us Labrinth and Harlem Boys and Girls Choir with Frozen and Like a Prayer 



A nice powerful version of both songs, beautifully done 


@Irish Aris gives us Ofra Haza with Open Your Heart



This was new to me, very haunting and stays with you, lovely cover 


@guirienespana gives us Mad House with a Like A Prayer 



A dance take that many have heard before maybe even before the original depending your age, it still holds up and reminds me of my teenage disco days so happy to see it entered, it has aged well 


@Kol has given us Hernán Lechuga with Live to Tell 



A stunning cover, really enjoyed this

And again thank you for participating

All to play for in the last final third round of covers, coming soon

[Spears]

When I was looking up covers, I listened to a few baaaad ones & gave up. 
Decided thst Madonna songs just didn't cover well. But there's a few decent ones in the round. & I hadn't came across ANY of them myself.

Rachel's song - I know they are a parody band but I still really enjoyed that cover 😏

& Edser 😳.. 
bringing us some seXXXiness!!!!! 👅😍😍
I approve 😌

Enjoyed Aris song choice too. Although I felt labyrinth struggled a tad in parts of the song & Madge looked a bit bored lol.
I like a lot of Madonna's songs but Like a Prayer & Frozen are my two favourite. Frozen taken the top spot.. I was obsessed with this song, & love the video off it too.

Turned out to be a better round than I expected 😊

[Declan A Walsh]

@jp liz v1 - when is round 3?

[jp liz v1]

I apologise will try to get done by this weekend @Declan A Walsh

[jp liz v1]

And we finally get around to round 3


@Butty Brennan  gives us Foy Vance with Purple Rain

Not an easy song to cover but the emotion in this version makes it really stand out 




@Declan A Walsh gives us Saxon with Ride like the Wind 

I was not familiar with the original but I listened after this and much prefer this rock version, I was air guitaring so a good pick that I enjoyed 





@Kol   gives the unique husky voiced Bonnie Tyler with Don't Turn Around 

I think she could sing anything and it would sound unique 

[jp liz v1]

@guirienespana  gives us Johnny Cash with Hurt

What can I say about his haunting raw version, just superb, lingers with you





@ari101 gives us Boyce Avenue with Zombie 

It is not easy for anyone to take on Dolores unique sound but Boyce bring his own take on it really well, a really good cover 




@Irish Aris gives us Minute Taker wth Running up that Hill

I do like Kate and Placebo's versions but this slowed down piano arrangement was just lovely, brought a sense of melancholy if that is right word 

[jp liz v1]

@Edser gives us Lenny Kravitz with American Woman 

I just associate this song with him, he made it his own, amazing version another air guitaring 




@Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick gives us Halocene with What I've Done 

This was new to me, I do like Linkin Park's original but this cover was very unique, they made it their own, lovely blending voices, you always find a top ace music maestro, well done 




@Spears gives us Smith & Myers with In the Air Tonight 

Again new to me and this was an amazing cover, great voice, great pick  

 



@Leg End Reject gives us Aurora with Life on Mars

Another newbie for me, it is different but after a few listens it really stays with you and appreciate her vocal style 

[jp liz v1]
