The only one I've ever heard (since I've never seen Glee) is Don't Stop Believin, and I was not diggin it at all. Granted, that song irritates the shit out of me anyway...but yeah. We'll see.

I can't wait for the next season! Tuesdays in April :D

Cam, you're about to hit 1000 posts.

Make it count.

Or I'll disown you.

(what that really means is I expect some peen)

Oh my gosh I am!! I didn't even realize that, so thanks for the reminder!

I'll try to think of something creative.

Crazy In Love / Hair vs. Jump
Taking Chances vs. On My Own (even though I wasn't a huge fan of her voice in this song, I can't say no to Les Miserables)

Defying Gravity (Rachel) vs. Defying Gravity (Kurt) (Kurt has a slightly strange, but much more impressive voice imo)
Alone vs It’s My Life / Confessions, Pt. II (Alone was great, but a can't resist a really good mash-up)

OK, so this was supposed to be the last day, but I just got home and I'm very tired and don't feel like doing this, HAHA, so I'm going to extend the deadline to Midnight Sunday. If anyone wants to vote (or finish voting, DOUG), do it before then!

Also, what the hell is Jess' excuse for not voting??? She lives for Glee, HAHAHA!!!!

I'M SORRY, HERE I AM!

“Don’t Stop Believin” vs “Dancing With Myself” ((Is there ANY QUESTION here!? DWM is one of my least favourite songs in the show))
“Push It” vs “Take A Bow” ((Kurt slaps Finn's ass in Push It, buuuut vocal wise, I think I prefer Take a Bow))
“Hair / Crazy In Love” vs “Jump” ((I love hairography, ahahaha))
“Taking Chances” vs “On My Own” ((I love TC, while I didn't like OMO much))

“Defying Gravity” (Rachel) vs “Defying Gravity” (Kurt) ((This one was super tough, but it was way more impressive when Kurt sings it))
“Alone” vs “It’s My Life / Confessions, Pt. II” ((I LOVE Alone, and I've loved it ever since my mom first played me the song when I was little... but Puck didn't sing it on the show.))
“Last Name” vs “Lean On Me” ((Meh, not a huge fan of either))
“Don’t Stand So Close To Me / Young Girl” vs “I’ll Stand By You” ((I LOVE DSSCTM/YG, but I'll Stand By You is one of my favourite songs, and Finn singing it is the second most listened to song on my iTunes, lol))

“Bust Your Windows” vs “Smile” (Charlie Chaplin) ((I really didn't like BYW, but I enjoyed Smile))
“Don’t Make Me Over” vs “You Keep Me Hanging On” ((This one was tough, but only because I don't like either))
“Papa Don’t Preach” vs “Crush” ((Also one of my highest play counts on iTunes!! I LOVE PDP!)
“Imagine” vs “Rehab” ((I cried when they sang it in the show!)

“My Life Would Suck Without You” vs “Smile” (Lily Allen) ((LOVED when they sang this!! I loved how they mixed all their dances TOGETHER!!))
“Keep Holding On” vs “The Thong Song” ((It was so heartfelt. I wanted to cry.))
“Bootylicious” vs “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” ((Meh. Didn't like Bootylicious, but I didn't mind YCAGWYW))
“Endless Love” vs “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going” ((Loved them both, but Mercedes was INCREDIBLE!!))

“Gold Digger” vs “No Air” ((I didn't care much for Gold Digger))
“True Colors” vs “Maybe This Time” ((One of my favourite songs EVER, and Tina's voice fit it PERFECTLY! I LOOOVED it!!))
“Somebody To Love” vs “Bust A Move” ((I proudly rap along daily))
“Poison” vs “I Wanna Sex You Up” ((Puck was pure and simple SEX when he sang his part in this!!))

“Don’t Rain On My Parade” vs “I Say A Little Prayer” ((I've always loooved Lea's voice. It's phenomenal!))
“Mercy” vs “Proud Mary” ((Meh again))
“Hate On Me” vs “Sweet Caroline” ((OMFG, PUUUUCK!!! <33333))
“(You’re) Having My Baby” vs “Halo / Walking On Sunshine” ((They were all on drugs. Aha.))

Thanks, Mo. I'll finish it before midnight tonight

You LIAR!!!!!

Lucky for you I was in the same situation last night. But tonight, while I'm at work, this next round will happen. Swearsies.
