There were so many covers to this song that I couldn't post every single one of them against each other. So, because all of them were unique in their own way, I separated them into vocalist categories; Best Group, Best Male, Best Female, and Best Teen.

| Last Week's Winner |
It was a difficult decision, but I chose the "best of the best" out of the videos below. After listening to over 200 covers over the weekend, I chose 50 that I liked, and managed to get it down to 22. At this point it was becoming really, really difficult, because I liked every one of them. This morning I came up with the idea of making it a "win by category" issue, and once again, as hard as it was, I was able to bring it down to 10 covers. I tried to bring the Group category down to two, but I couldn't.
The song being covered is "Grenade" by Bruno Mars. I think that everyone who has ever dated, been in a relationship, or has been married can relate to this song. The lyrics speak for themselves:Gave you all I hadIn order to vote, all you have to do is leave a comment, and paste the following into the message:
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked,
Cause what you don't understand is
I’d catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I love Before you exit, but Lawson won me over. Love this version! As for the women, I have to go with Lisa Lavie, she has such a powerful voice, Alex is nerdy cute but Jason Chen has the vocals and as for the pre-pubescent children, I think Jordan gets the cake.
So...
Group: Lion Named Roar
Female: Dana
Male: Jason Chen
Teen: Marko
Group was the hardest, Lawson was pretty good too!
I agree with Micort1212. his choices reign supreme.
Group Category: Lion Named Roar

Male Category: Jason Chen
Teen Category: Marko
Group Category: A Lion Named Roar. Loved their rock take on it.
Female Category: Lisa Lavie
Beautiful and unique voice.
Male Category: Alex Goot.
Best one over all of them. Love the voice and performance. Winner of this cover wars hands down.
Teen Category: Both should be disqualified for trying to sing a song about doing anything for they're true love. They're 8! Keep to your ABC's kiddies. Justin Beiber impersonations are also deal breakers, but if I have to go with one I'll go with the less boring one, Jordan Jansen.
Okay so maybe that was a bit mean and cruel. Better they hear it now then later, especially before reading all their YouTube comments.
So I just read his YouTube comments and they were all actually quite good. What is this world coming to.
