Well, I didn't have a hard time with what I heard last night at all.

1)Toby Rand - Radiohead "Karma Police" and Original "Throw It Away" - This has to be the guy for this band. He's such a terrific, fun performer. And, if their music is meant to be fun-filled out and out rock, this is the best one of the bunch for that. No one else comes close, IMHO.

2)Magni – Deep Purple “Hush” & Original “When the Time Comes” - Loved hearing some old Deep Purple! Ah, the days of my youth! He really is the best singer of the bunch. But I'm with TLee. That original is nothing special.

3)Lukas Rossi – Coldplay “Fix You” & Original “Headspin” - Lukas would be at the bottom if I hadn't like his cover just a teeny tiny bit more than Dilana's. And I probably only liked that because I so detest Coldplay that you could do anything to one of their songs and it would be an improvement. But that original still sucks as bad as an acoustic arrangement as much or more than it did as he did it last week. Hate, hate, hate it.

4)Dilana – The Police “Roxanne” & Original “Supersoul”
- Didn't like anything here. Don't like her. Don't like her voice. Don't like her personality. Detest her horrible song writing. Hey, Dilana. If you have to explain the emotion of the song to people? Your song writing sucks.
