This has got to be the most difficult Cover War to date. I spent 2 hours on Sunday listening to over 100 covers of Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory," and I never grew tired of listening to it.
All the artists in this month's war deserve a standing ovation, hell they each deserve a Cover Wars Album, they are all absolutely amazing! I cried as I watched a cover of a boy with Cerebral Palsy and it made it even harder for me to pick these Top 12 people. He didn't make the top 12, but I will tell you this... the courage alone was enough to make anyone vote for him.
This month's Cover War is going to be a little different, and I may do it like this from now on. I am posting six covers of "Edge of Glory" today and you will have 7 days (until 9/10/11) to vote for the best out of these six. The second round begins the next day (9/11/11), and will consist of another six covers to the same song; You will also have 7 days to vote on this round which will end on 9/17/11. The top two finalists from the previous two weeks will compete in a final competition which will take place from September 18-24, 2011.
The winner will be declared the following day, September 25, 2011. On this day I will personally email the winner their Cover Wars Gold Record. It's not an actual vinyl record, but a recognition award congratulating them for their amazing talent and their win; So your vote is really important.
Meet Group 1 of the Cover Wars 7 contestants, a group of talented artists I chose to start the first round of this month's Cover War!

To vote, simply leave me a comment indicating which artists you think deserves the win for the first round of the competition.
Okay, admit it. How many of you have wanted to shoot your boss?
Fine, don't tell me, but I know who you are. I think we've always had a reason to hate our bosses, either because they're rude to us, show us no appreciation, or make us do more than what our title entails.
Now, if you want to shoot your boss for any other reason, then seek some help. LOL.
In the video below, Trent Kimball, the President and CEO of Texas Armoring Corporation truly stands behind his product. He sits behind a safety glass windshield as one of his employees shoots an AK47 at him. Pretty crazy stuff...
Mine is the Thin Mint, followed by the Samosas, Do-Si-Dos, and everything else after. Below is a chart of the percentage of sales by type of Girl Scout cookie. Pretty interesting...
