You put me up against [expletive] Johnny Cash?

I hate you Swirls.

All I ask is that y'all listen to that Uncle Tupelo cover of the Iggy and the Stooges classic. It's twangy! It's fun! It would make a great soundtrack to a movie fight scene in a honky tonk!

I'm going to lose, and I'm angry.

That was not a bad cover at all, but it's going up against Michael Jordan. You're screwed.

As did I. I'm all for creative takes on covers - yes I love Hurt, but personally I would like to avoid an All Along the Watchtower vs Hurt finale.

I have no idea how you all are voting. Mobile does not allow me to do anything other than view matchups.

I thought Zeus' was okay, but I'm not going to vote for a song just because I hadn't heard it or thought it was creative. Just gonna go with the song I like more.
