The Pussycat Dolls: 37%
The All-American Rejects: 62%

Total Votes: 24

This week, The All-American Rejects will take on Gretchen Wilson!
(NOTE: I told a couple people that I would have Kenny Chesney go against AAR this round, but I decided to hold off until I know of a third single by him (I know two -- don't that figure?!). And who better to go to than probably the biggest Kenny Chesney fan over 40 that just happens to be related to me -- my mom! I'll post his round soon)

I'm going to go with All American Rejects. I love their song "Swing, Swing" from awhile back!

Wed May 03, 2006 8:24 pm

AAR are more catchy than Gretchen Wilson is, and they have better songs.

Wed May 03, 2006 8:49 pm

I voted for AAR again. i've never really heard or remembered anything by Gretchen Wilson

Wed May 03, 2006 9:43 pm

I'm almost positive Gretchen Wilson has been here before, whether she's on the list or not... but I voted her anyway.

Well, I don't care for country, but a few of Gretchen's songs are catchy... oh, and she's not AAR, which I would like to see go.

I don't believe so. She's been in the Coming Soon list for a while, but never on Versus.
