It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Cover Wars 6

I can't believe it's been a month since my last Cover Wars post, but after listening to Adele's CD on my way to work this morning, I had to feature a Cover War using another one of her songs.  You may recall my very first issue featured Adele's "Rolling In The Deep."

Once again, it was a very difficult decision to make, so I went with only the guys for this battle.  The girls were fantastic, but I can only do so much. Maybe I will feature them at a later time, but for now, the war is on...

These are the top 6 guys I felt did an awesome job of covering Adele's, "Someone Like You."  Sean Rumsey, Abraham Lim, Eli Lieb, Benjamin, Chris Kennedy from The Shures, and Nick Gardner


The contest ends next Thursday, August 11, and the winner will receive a Cover Wars Gold Record that I will personally email them.  It's not an actual vinyl record, but a recognition award just for being on my blog, so your vote is really important.

Abraham

Okay, when I first heard my love playing the recording of Nick Gardner, I just knew that he would win, until I heard his rendition of the song. I didn't like it which really made me sad. It was then between Abraham, Eli and Chris. Chris was so freak'n hot but this ain't a beauty contest, or a barbershop quartet for that matter. Abraham was great and he hit those powerful high notes out of the park, but for some reason it just reminded me just a little too much of Adele. His video was even somewhat similar. Eli's voice is very beautiful. Might not be the most powerful over all of the guys here, but he is my pick for this cover wars win.

Go Eli!

After reading Ryan's comment, I've changed my mind. I'm voting for Eli instead. Sorry Abraham.

Rita said...
