I highly recommend actually watching this one for full entertainment value.

Pixie Lott

Mark Gormley really reminds me of Steeleye Span.

The fun thing about Mark Gormley is he looks he should be our dungeon master.

Mark Gormley
Three Days Grace
Julie Andrews
Pixie Lott

Mark Gormley - I actually had to listen to it without watching the video. Once I did that, I kinda dig it

Julie Andrews - The way she poetically trounces that guy is fantastic. The video with that song was great, too. The only reason she doesn't take first is that I wouldn't be likely to pop this in while driving around.

Three Days Grace - I like the grungy dirge a little. Not too bad.

Pixie Lott - Entirely forgettable. There are a million of her floating around out there.

Mark Gormley - LOL! This is a joke..right? Right? Right? That can't actually be the singer...right? Wow.

Julie Andrews - dirty secret time: My Fair Lady (the movie with Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn) is one of my "guilty pleasures." As a rule, I don't watch musicals or romcoms or anything like that. But I love My Fair Lady and I love this song. So good.

Three Days Grace - meh. Sounds like an average Guitar Hero track.

Pixie Lott - meh. Sounds like an average FemPop track. I can live without this, without this, without this.

1. Julie Andrews (the class of the competition)
2. Three Days Grace (this I kinda liked)
3. Pixie Lott (geez, who put on Radio Disney???)
4. Mark Gormley (too weird for me, especially since I haven't favored weird stuff for some time now; found the vid to be borderline...creepy)

1) I went with this title just to subject you all to Mark Gormley. I'll admit his voice is weak but the overall song sounds pretty good and it's just such a trip watching him sing the song dressed like he's the comic book guy.

2) Julie Andrews - I probably wouldn't listen to this very often but you have to acknowledge her talent and I still can't quite get over the fact that I've seen Mary Poppins boobies.

3) Three Days Grace - listenable but not good enough to be added to my music library.

4) Pixie Lott - Meh.

4. Julie Andrews

Julie Andrews - It's not Lerner and Loewe's cleverest song, but Julie has such a beautiful clear soprano voice, she's a pleasure.

Mike Gormley - for all that he's an old white guy who moves like a dizzy rhino, he doesn't have a bad tenor voice.

Pixie Lott - I'd listen to it on the radio, I wouldn't go buy the CD.

Three Days Grace - Not exciting

Very enjoyable group of songs!!

1- Pixie Lott- When the song started, I immediately didn't love it; too much of a sugary pop beginning, and I feared what was coming. But I stuck with it, and darned if it isn't a pretty awesome performance. Instead of thin flash, eventually there's a soulful performance. My surprise favorite by a good margin. Who knew!
2- Three Days Grace- Strong, rocking, with real feeling.
3- Mark Gormley- Ha!! Dripping with unrealized potential, both the song and the video. I wish Wishbone Ash had been able to do the song; they would have killed it.
4- Julie Andrews- Beautiful voice, of course. The song is 100% not my cup of tea. Would never buy it, even though I wouldn't turn it off.

Here's the numbers:

1) Mark Gormley - 27 pts (Much to VG9's chagrin)

2) Julie Andrews - 23 pts, Good thing she's not dead. Wouldn't want her rolling over in her grave.

3) 3 Days Grace - 23 pts

4) Pixie Lott - 17

Understatement.
