Los Del Rio vs Collins - Macarena has gotten much more support than I expected through 2 rounds, and Collins has only managed 40 total votes in 2 rounds, which is only a few votes more than Isaak got in round 1 alone. That makes this a tough call...
Line:
Spoiler
Sinead O'Connor vs Chris Isaak - two songs that have gotten strong support against some pretty tough competition already. While I'd like to think this will be close, I don't think it will be Line:
Spoiler
The Proclaimers vs Starland Vocal Band - I expect this might be one of the larger margins of victory in round 3. Line:
Spoiler
? and the Mysterians vs Vicki Sue Robinson - ? has performed worse than I expected, including squeaking out a win over Last Kiss in round 2, while Vicki Sue has been surprisingly strong against 2 songs that I thought would appeal more to the board than they did... Line:

Ugh, only two songs I like in this bracket and they're head to head.

Nothing Compares 2 U and Wicked Game was a tough matchup. At the end of the day though, O'Connor is covering someone else's song, and it's not even the best cover of the song at that (that distinction would go to Chris Cornell).
Some points docked from Chris Isaak because I think Somebody's Crying was too much of a hit to consider Wicked Game a true one hit wonder, but ultimately he gets the nod because he wrote his song rather than it being a cover version of someone else. |
