Petie Pizarro's vocal talents outweighed those of Nick Pitera by a mere vote. In a vote of 8 to 7, Petie will be competing against this week's round 2 winner, and what a challenge he's up against. As I mentioned in my initial blog, all these artists are truly amazing, so if you want Petie to win in the finals you'll need to vote.
The second round begins today (9/11/11), and consists of another six covers to Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory." You will have 7 days to vote on this round which will end on 9/17/11. The top two finalists from the previous week and this week will compete in a final competition which will take place from September 18-24, 2011. |

Yeah Petie! I know you're not gay power but you still were the best. Now let's see who you'll be going up against.
I've always loved the work of Eli Lieb, but unfortunately this time the fight for the top spot was between Jimmy Wong and Freaky Fortune. Both kept with "needing a man tonight" (gay power!), both made the song their own, and all gave Gaga a run for her money with their performances. Well it's Gaga we're talking about so maybe not a run for her money, per say, but they both did blow it out of the park. Only one did something different that none of these artists competing have been able to accomplish: he brought me to tears.
Sure you can have power and belt out all the right notes with more fierceness than anyone of the other contestants, but if you have the song bring so much meaning to you that by just singing it, others instantly feel the emotion that you're conveying, then you've truly accomplished something that most artists cannot.
My vote this week is for Jimmy Wong. Even before I knew he dedicated this to his grandma, that passed away this year, I could feel it in every note he sang. He deserves this victory for that alone.
I hope he wins so that he can go up against Petie, to see if emotion can really beat power, in this epic sing off battle which is, by far, the best cover wars competition to date.
Excellent point Ryan, I agree with you. I liked Eli too! My votes for Wong!
Yay! Go Petie! My vote is for Walk off the earth
