Only a handful left much of an impression on me today. Was hoping to see a few more iconic movie songs make an appearance, the likes of Ghostbusters or Eye Of The Tiger or You're The Best from The Karate Kid, and there were an awful lot of slower numbers today instead which didn't really grab me.
Even Adam Levine is up there singing about being "Happy", but sounds like he's just been told his dog died.
@DejaBoo forget what I just said about slow numbers failing to grab me, because there are exceptions to every rule and this is one of them. Love the original, but this cover is gorgeous. Song of the round for me.
@aaronjennings never been mad about this song, always thought it was a tad overrated (although after a few drinks, I'd defo be singing along to it if I heard it), and I had every intention of hating this, but the stupid kid won me over and she absolutely nailed the harmony at the end, so props where props are due and all that...
@E.N. this was a bit of a tough one because I love the original version and I like everything I've heard from Silversun Pickups before, but that just means there are high expectations on my end, and it didn't really come close to living up to them, but on the otherhand would I go and listen to this cover again... absolutely I would, so Thanks awarded.
@Declan A Walsh only one from the Elimination Room that grabbed me at all, would like to think this would've done well if it were still in contention, but very few people around here that give Radiohead the respect they deserve so who knows how it might have fared... Great choice though...
