VERSUS

"I Swear" by All-4-One

EBYT is one of the best songs of all time

I don't remember that All-4-One song so I'm listening to it now.

Right off the bad, that note at 0:08 ("weigh-YEENG") is a really bad choice.

Sweet sax solo leading into a key change!

But this song is pretty bad

Is this the most average-looking boyband of all time? I like that they just look like 4 random dudes

Not even going to bother to listen. One for the Police.

Did 2 all 4 one members fight on stage once mid show or was that color me badd??

I dont even hate the cheesy boy band 90s rnb stuff, but it's not in the same universe as ebyt

It’s very good. How many songs are in the “one of the best songs of all time” tier?

I genuinely dislike Every Breath You Take.

I genuinely adore I Swear.

This is an easy vote for me even though I know I'll probably be the only person to show I Swear any love.

So it goes.

Wow, I thought for sure this would be a shut out. But then again Nickelback got 2 votes against Marvin Gaye so I doubt there’ll be any shut outs at this point.

I thought about voting for EBYT because I knew I Swear didn't stand a chance. But what's the fun in that? I went with my heart instead.

To be fair, I do prefer John Michael Montgomery's version of the song. But that one's not in this contest.

Never heard I Swear before. Hope to never hear it again. The Sting Band wins.

Easy vote for The Police.

I’m voting for the Police only because of Stewart Copeland and the Biggie tribute song that samples it.

I don't really care for Every Breath You Take, but it's a lot better than I Swear.

The production on EBYT is kind of flat. Drums sound terrible, has that dated 80s murk.
