Have Yourself A Very Merry Grenade Christmas
Sure, go right ahead and buy these to go along with your Santa and Machine Guns family portrait. LOL. You'll be the only one in town who has them. Well... unless you live in Cut-n-shoot or Grangerland, Texas. Just kidding. I love all of you who live out there, even if there's still cross burnings.

Cover Wars 5 - The Results
So the results are in for my first ever, Cover Wars by Category issue. It was a close call between the group and teen performances, but overall each performance was fantastic. You have to remember, I chose what I felt was the best of the best, and you decided which of them were the winners.
Each contestant sang their own cover of "Grenade" by Bruno Mars, and in the end, the winners were...
Lion Named Roar for Best Group Performance. While many of you were impressed with Lawson's version of the song, Lion Named Roar came out on top as the best all-around sound, and I couldn't agree more, the vocals were great, the music was great, and the video was great. Congrats Lion Named Roar!
As for the Best Female Performance, Lisa Lavie won this hands down, her unique voice made it all the better for her in the end. Her strong vocals, accompanied with some great music, made it an even easier choice. Giving it her emotional best, Lisa was the clear choice. Congrats Lisa!
In the Best Male Performance category, it was the hot-looking "nerdy" guy, Alex Goot vs. the ever popular, Jason Chen. Alex definitely provided a shocking element to his performance, his voice! The music was amazing, his playing the guitar, the piano and the drums added to a great video performance as well. There definitely was no competing with Alex, he won this hands down. Congrats Alex!
For Best Teen Performance, my readers were stuck between two teenage boys who gave it their all, Marko Stantic and Jordan Jansen. In the end, Jordan took this home. His unique voice, the emotion he provided, and the video accompanying the song, garnered him enough votes to take home the Gold Record. Remarkable voice, remarkable performance, congrats Jordan!
Once again, here are your Cover War winners singing their cover to "Grenade"...

As promised, each winner will be sent an image of their Cover Wars "Gold Record." It's a fictional image of my Cover Wars logo and a Gold Album embedded in a black frame. I created this image specifically for this series.
This is also the first issue where I have sent the winner a personalized image of their Cover Wars album.

Cover Wars 5
Cover Wars is going to be real interesting this time around...
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.
Each of the category winners will get 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.
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:

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)
