Overall, was a highly enjoyable round, there were more highlights than I expected, and these are the ones that fared well in my Thankings...
@Leg End Reject On the one hand it's, objectively speaking, a bit shite, but on the other hand (the one that counts) great fun and I thoroughly enjoyed it, so that's good enough for me
@Spears He's got a grand voice (really liked his Eurovision entry this year) and its an interesting take on the original, good pick
@DejaBoo Ah look at him there with his little happy innocent face, how can ya not love Jonathan Groff, epic voice and the face of an angel, I couldn't not vote for him
I had this band lined up for a couple of categories, they've got some solid covers and I definitely wanted to feature them somewhere in the game, and this was the round that I stuck with them for, but yeah if people are liking it, its worth checking out some of their other stuff
@E.N. it wouldn't be one of my favourite PMJ's, in fact I nearly wasn't going to vote for it, but the tap & trumpet combo just managed to separate it from the covers I didn't care for, so it gets the nod of approval
@lorcand1990 one of the stronger entries in this round, and the best you've put forward in this game so far I reckon, nice selection
@Wichita Lineman initially this was the one I was going to submit for this round, as I bloody love Angie McMahon, and this by a country mile is the best cover of the entire round for me. Sadly, I expected that it wouldn't get the respect and adoration it deserves from some of the sheeple around here, bit too unique and interesting for more than a few of them I imagine. And thats the problem with allowing the public to vote or not hiring judges that are fit for purpose (pew pew pew, shots fired), because this one should be leading the rankings today from the outset... (turns out I still had a little bit of rant ligering over from last night after all... )
