Sam Sparro just sounds a bit better than the other one, so I'll vote for that one.

[BridMorgan]

Ok, this time I'll go with Sam Sparro.  Feel better now Bro?  :P

[Auld Manriva]

I do sister. Much better.

 

I like the lass's voice, but that song I cannot make out a single line of the lyric... It's like its mumbled or something.

Black and Gold...

[Moghedian]

Black and Gold, black and gold, black and go-old.... :D

[Samuraiflip05]

I'm gonna say Sparro on this one. 

 

Oh and on the Nickelback one.....there is something good about cookie cutter bands.  If you liked the first album you're gonna like the tenth album too.  They usually don't stray too far from their roots.  I can think of several "big name" bands who have lost my ear, due to getting funky wih some new album or project. 

[Auld Manriva]

Actually Sam I meant they were the same as myriad other bands... Not that their music was repetitive.

[Corki]

Sam Sparro and Black and Gold gets the M-G's vote again.

[heinrich]

sam sparro

[Samuraiflip05]

Aha...Yeah I get fed up with Musicians who reinvent themselves every other album.  ::)

[Corki]

A resounding 7-0 victory to Captain Jack Sparrow, um, sorry, Mr Sam Sparro.

 

Next tie is going up now!

I'll get back to you on this one... *Thinks*

[Auld Manriva]

Nice Porntube teaser audition vid there Katy my dear. I went for it the first time and I do enjoy the cheekiness but....

 

Give them Leon fellers button up bowling shirts with their name on front, a 12lb swirly colors bowlin' ball and big ol' ceegars and they'd be right up King Ralphs alley... The Thunderbird Lanes in Phoenix AZ!! Yeah, Buddy!!

 

Kings of Leon, now if the Gitfiddle playin youngster would lose the emo haircut. They'd be big ol' everything in excess, Girls Gone Wild on the tour bus, I Don't Care Let It All Hang Out, Rock Stars...

 

 

[Samuraiflip05]

Hmmm, going on the aesthetics.....I think a group of women writhing around in their underwear is much better than a sweaty oily guy being held down by other dudes.  ;) :D

 

Katy Perry

[Direwolf Jon]

Although I really don't like either song, I'll have to go with Katy Perry because she sounded better than the Kings of Leon.

[BridMorgan]

Katy Perry!! 

[heinrich]

katy perry

[Corki]

I know I am posting after my deadline, but the M-G's vote goes to Katy Perry.

[Corki]

By 5 votes to 1, Katy Perry advances to the semi-finals.

 

The next tie will go up now.
