BATTLE (Royale): So Much In Love -VS- (Ue o Muite Aruko) Sukiyaki
Alright, I’ve been cruising for wedding music all weekend and WHOA – it spawned the bloodiest battle yet. Same songs – 3 ways, 3 languages, 3 decades. No shame voting straight-ticket but at least give them a listen. 1960s Starting with the originals. 1980s I didn’t know these versions existed until yesterday, but wish I […]
BATTLE: Bootsy Collins – I’d Rather Be With You -VS- Hall & Oates – Sara Smile
All right all you bicentennial babies, you weren’t the only things born in 1976. Today’s battle goes deep, when making albums wasn’t easy.
ORIGINAL: Spooky

Minimal vocals set you up for a tom-banging chorus.[Audio clip: view full post to listen] You can download the MP3 or go to the Listen section for additional formats.

BATTLE: Mariah Carey – Always be my Baby -VS- Nelly Furtado – Turn off the Light
This one might be a run away but I still think these songs match up well. Mariah has staying power but Nelly is no slouch either.

BATTLE: State of the Art of Noise
Everyone has heard Somebody That I Used To Know but if you dig a little deeper into Making Mirrors Gotye has some laid back jams you don’t expect. I couldn’t find a definite answer – but it’s hard to imagine the title is a coincidence.
