ROCK WARS 14 (GLEE): Round 1, Match 5

[DTM]

Okay boys and girls, here we have ourselves a rather unique Rock Wars, focusing on songs from the TV Show, Glee. If youre unaware of what this is, sorry I ain't explaining it to you here :), but I can almost guarantee that if you listen to the songs provided within, you won't be disappointed.

As always, these songs will be pitted against one another, Match by Match, Round by Round, weeding them all out until they get to the FINAL MATCH, which will have our two favorite Glee songs face against one another to see which one emerges as Grand Champion of our latest Rock Wars!

As always, this TOC should be voted using a very simple criteria, which song do YOU like more, which do YOU feel you would rather listen to, and which would YOU say is ultimately more deserving to move on.

Pretty basic really. Songs are matched up, you all vote on the one you like more, the winner goes to the Next Round, and we do this over and over again until the Rounds are Over. I do ask that you all give objective opinions and votes here, listening to All songs and arguments here within this TOC with an open mind, beginning to end, and base your honest votes from that.

So without further adieu, why dont we get started with the First of Many matches to come, in HCRs latest Rock Wars, Favorite Glee Song!

I now give you:


DON'T STAND SO CLOSE TO ME / YOUNG GIRL (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jlOLu7Yw-g)

vs.

LEAN ON ME (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X2EWPDXjaM)


So what say you all. Which of these songs will move onto the Next Round, and which will be left on the cutting room floor?

Huh. I actually *enjoyed* that. I'm an all-day sucker for clever mash-ups, so it's a safe bet that I'll be voting for them throughout the ToC. Don't Stand So Close to Me/Young Girl to advance.

[Grinner]

Easy vote for me here. Nothing against Lean On Me, but of the two it isn't the one on my mp3 player :grin:

Don't Stand So Close To Me/Young Girl to advance

[EmperorNorton]

Looking at the titles I was convinced I'd vote for Mr. Shu's mash-up, but after listening to the songs again my vote goes to Lean On Me.

[songwriterz]

Lean On Me gets my vote.

[flyingicarus]

Tough one. I'll give it to "Don't Stand/Young Girl."

[AlienFlanders]

Lean on Me wins me over.

[lensnart]

I like the song but I hate hearing Lean On Me sung in this kind of setting, lesser singers always way over sing it and these guys are no different.

The problem is I can't stand the Police, but surprisingly I can almost deal with this mashed-up version, I certainly wouldn't ever listen to it on purpose, but it is the best choice here.

Don't Stand/ Young Girl

[St-Dumas]

Don't Stand/Young Girl is one of my favorite numbers in the series. It gets my vote.

[VelvetGuru9]

I started listening to Lean On Me first and I really like good gospel music, this was more wannabe than anything else.

Don't Stand/Young Girl is by far the better tune.

[Drunky]

Don't Stand So Close To Me / Young Girl

[Gargantua]

Lean On Me

[Truffle Shuffle]

Lean On Me was pretty awesome but I loved this mash up. Was my favorite.

Don't Stand/Young Girl

[Magnito]

Tough one, but I vote...

DON'T STAND SO CLOSE TO ME / YOUNG GIRL

[DTM]

As usual for matches in this TOC, I do like them both, but I think Dont Stand / Young Girl is the more enjoyable overall listen for me here.

[KiwiGirl]

Definately going with Lean On Me here.

[Surfer13]

I figured that the first song would be a mess and I would vote for Lean On Me, a song that I like just fine, but I have to reverse course.

I got an overdone Lean On Me with enough caterwauling to last me all year, and while I think that neither Sting nor Gary Puckett are sweating too much, Don't Stand/Young Girl gets my vote.

[readyeddy?]

I'll vote for that mash up. I guess.

[MSU]

Don't Stand So Close to me/Young Girl - I love their mashups and this one is no different.

[captainamerica1987]

This one isn't even close. Don't stand so close to me

[DTM]

DON'T STAND SO CLOSE TO ME / YOUNG GIRL - 14 votes
LEAN ON ME - 5 votes
