Gee it's a shame there's no Jason Mraz songs in this tournament it sounds like LV would love his stuff

That melancholy, somber Gotye song sounds absolutely nothing like happy-go-lucky Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz. I don’t know what you’re talking about Jorge

Jorge usually seems so fair and levelheaded but this Gotye hatred is UNHINGED

The Sinead version is better than the solo Prince one released last year. The live version he did with The Family is better than both though

I can enjoy Jack Johnson for 4-5 songs and then that's enough of that shit. It turns on a dime.

Somebody That I Used to Know wins here. I still remember where I was when I heard it for the first time.
