UPDATE: Sam Tsui wins cover war! - See Comments
The premise behind "Cover Wars" is to get your opinion on who you think is the "best of the best" when a YouTube artist performs a cover to a popular hit, like Adele's current song, "Rolling in the Deep" or Madonna's, "Like A Prayer".
This week's battle song is Lady Gaga's, "Born This Way". Currently one of her number 1 tracks, Gaga's Born This Way album hits stores on May 23rd.
For the second round of my new series I have chosen 6 people or duos to battle it out, Sam Tsui, Tyler Ward feat. Alex G., Wesley Avery, Peter Hollens, Marius Gröh from Germany, and Ben feat. Josh.
Who do you think will win this war?

I like Wesley.
Thanks guys, I'm stuck between Wesley and Sam Tsui.

Ugh,this is tuff. tyler or peter? I'm gonna say tyler
No, no, no, Peter Hollens! I changed my mind.
I pick sam
Wesley
When do we find out who won?
sorry guys I've been waiting on my partner to read my blogs and he hasn't yet. I'll give the results after he votes.
After much review, sorry it took this long to review, I have made some very tough decisions. Well, not really, considering I knocked off valuable points for lyric changes and totally disqualified you if you edited out the "no matter gay, straight or bi..." part. Along with music and video value as well as just plain talent, don't forget cuteness, I chose you!
SAM TSUI!
I loved Ben and Josh's take as well as all the positive words that ran throughout their video, but none of these guys impressed me as much as Sam. Wait to go, boy, and keep up the good work.
I'm going with Sam Tsui. And this was tough, because I really liked Wesley's rendition as well. You will not believe how long it took me to find all these versions.
I was getting frustrated, because all the people who were singing this cover had blatantly removed the gay, straight, bi paragraph. And if you read the comments, people were not too happy.
They would reply with some type of excuse that the song was too long and had to be cut down, so they removed that part. It was b.s. nothing but christian, bigoted, or homophobic people changing the song to fit their needs.
Sam is the winner, he's been a long time favorite of mine. He has an amazing youtube collection of fine work. check it out, click on his name.
