Damn it all, just spotted the thread now and would have voted for the animal's.

Gru

Stereophonics - Handbags and Gladrags - loved this song as long as i can remember
Joan Jett - I Love Rock N Roll - because it's the better of the two
Placebo - Running Up That Hill - Love Cyndi's cover but am too big a placebo fan to vote against them
Atomic Kitten - Eternal Flame - because i prefer it.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Stereophonics - Handbags and Gladrags ; tough call on this one, but really love Handbags and Gladrags

Joan Jett - I Love Rock N Roll ; one of my noms here and should be the rightful winner of this pairing (let me guess Necro nominated the other... :rolleyes:)

Placebo - Running Up That Hill ; another of mine, and one of the best covers ever

Atomic Kitten - Eternal Flame ; no denying it's a tune

the purple tin

Stereophonics - Handbags and Gladrags

Not really into the Stereophonics but that is a great song.

Irish Aris

Match 25: Flying Lizards (don't like Stereophonics that much)
Match 26: Joan Jett (one of my nominations)
Match 27: Cyndi Lauper (that one kills me because Placebo's cover is amazing, but Cyndi is another of my nominations)
Match 28: Ace Of Base (both great, but I have a soft spot for the quartet from Sweden)

Lutricia McNeal - Ain't That Just The Way - never even heard of it, but that Boyzone version has to die.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Patti Smith - Gloria ; tough enough decision but has to be Patti for me

Boyzone - Father and Son ; can't stand the other one, and in fairness this is a great song, even for a mediocre cover

Marilyn Manson - Tainted Love ; very tough call between these two, but Manson did a great job with this cover

Cake - I Will Survive ; was very close to nominating this one but just missed the cut for me, a cracking cover

Gru

Patti Smith - Gloria - cause ?????
Lutricia McNeal - Ain't That Just The Way - its my preferred choice
Guns 'N' Roses - Live and Let Die - can i have them both? if not GNR it is!
Aretha Franklin - Respect - Respect My Authority

Irish Aris

Match 30: Boyzone (last boyband I followed)

Them - Baby Please Don't Go. Classic Van Morrison before he became a grumpy old man.

Lutricia McNeal - Ain't That Just The Way Vs Boyzone - Father and Son - PASS

Guns 'N' Roses - Live and Let Die. Surprising song for GnR to cover, bit they did a great job of it.

Im listening to Heart radio 80s. They’ve just played I’ve got you babe by ub40 & Chrissie Hynde. Hope it’s in this competition.

Declan A Walsh

My votes in bold:

Elvis Presley - Blue Suede Shoes Vs The Beach Boys - Barbara Ann - great harmonies

The Temptations - Papa Was a Rollin' Stone Vs The Beatles - Twist and Shout - Tough one, as I like both. Plumped for this epic piece of soul.

Girls Aloud - Stand By You Vs Jose Feliciano - Light my fire - Nice cover of the Doors classic with a Latino feel.

Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody Vs The Specials - A Message to You, Rudy - Picked Specials as it is okay and the other is annoying!

Gru

The Beach Boys - Barbara Ann - It was in Saved by the Bell and makes me smile
The Beatles - Twist and Shout - because it's dance-y
Girls Aloud - Stand By You - i'm not a Girls Aloud fan i swear
The Specials - A Message to You, Rudy - i do love the Specials... so i pick this, although it was a close one.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

The Beach Boys - Barbara Ann - have always enjoyed this one

The Temptations - Papa Was a Rollin' Stone - love this one

Girls Aloud - Stand By You - best of the two I suppose

Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody ; is it possible to both despise and really appreciate a song at the same time?

Kolido

Elvis Presley - Blue Suede Shoes 2- 6 The Beach Boys - Barbara Ann
The Temptations - Papa Was a Rollin' Stone 6- 1 The Beatles - Twist and Shout
Girls Alloud - Stand By You 1 -6 Jose Feliciano - Light my fire
