Information

- Any band/artist is able to compete (Ranging from as old as Queen to as new as Panic! At the Disco). The only thing is that they most have songs with English lyrics. No foreign music, unless they have broken the language barrier (Example: Utada Hikaru)
- You may suggest artists/bands to compete.
- Every Wednesday the votes will be tallied and a new round will be posted.

U2.

U2. U2. U2.

Natasha Bedingfield all the way! I love her album (Although I lost it).

And she has four videos just to let you know!

Whoops, sorry. Thanks for that, Ammer.
I definetly need to study more before I do more rounds. <_<

U2. Not a particularly huge fan, but I like a few of their songs.

I'd like to suggest L'arc-en-Ciel as a competitor. They've got at least one song I know of that's entirely in English.

-will have to start a J-pop versus sometime-

Natasha Bedingfield gets my vote. I like all 4 singles of her's.

Yes, I'm sure L'Arc-en-ciel can qualify.

Edit:

I'd like to suggest The Pussycat Dolls as a competitor!

Do competitors need to have a song in English, or can we have completely foreign artists?

Well, if they don't have any songs in English, they have to be at least known among people who don't listen to that specific type of foreign music.

For instance,

Utada Hikaru sings in both English and Japanese but the fact that she's known around the world makes her eligible for "Versus". I never listen to J-Pop yet I knew who she was and when she started to sing English songs, she got really big.

I hope this answers your question, I really don't know how to explain it other than that.

Natasha Bedingfield gets my vote. I do like U2 though.



*dies* Please tell me you're joking. =P

U2 I've always admired them.

Mmmm. U2. Only 'cause Natasha's CD won't play on my computer.

Natasha sucks. U2 rocks.

Take a guess.

Pfft, as if. How can you not like their song "Beep" which depicts extreme vulgarity?
