Two covers in this final... wow, not expected at all.

I absolutely love both of these songs and in fact, nominated both of them as well. I can't pick one over the other.

Mad World

Love both. Going with Johnny Cash though. It's just filled with so much emotion, such a powerful song.

Voted Johnny Cash - Hurt (2002).

Mad World

Tough battle. Only 13 votes cast, though.

Hurt

Johnny Cash

oooooohhhhhhh f**k!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I so didn't want to vote here

went with Mad World... it being one of my favorite songs ever, couldn't do otherwise, cover or no cover... but voting against Hurt broke my heart

Mad World and Kiss going down. I will definitely cry.

k... nice to see Mad World moving on at least that far in the tournament
