This time I've selected solo covers (mostly amateur) taken from YouTube

6. Tom Jones - Delilah (kirbyscovers)
vs.
3. Ofra Haza - Im nin'alu (naamah sho)

2. Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 (Noella Choi)
vs.
4. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Storm (orangefilterskies)

1. Pink Floyd - Echoes (vkgoeswild)
vs.
7. Pearl Jam - Black (CarmenLuciaMusic)

5. Khaled - Aïcha (Alaa Wardi)
vs.
8. Kacey Musgraves - Follow Your Arrow (Mackenzie Johnson)


If I should have to choose based on those covers I'd go with:
1. Alaa Wardi's "Aïcha" (amazing!)
2. VK Goes Wild's "Echoes"
3. Noella Choi's "25 or 6 to 4"

It could be really cool to have a final between the long-tracks-with-short-titles (I mean "Storm" vs. "Echoes"). But my favourite one would be the Hebrew vs. Arabic final ("Im nin'alu" vs. "Aïcha"), even as a mad hope for peace on another sad day…

Im Nin'alu

Echoes...Echoes...Echoes...echoes... I think we will hear these echoes until the final.
And I'm so pleased to see Aïcha did so well.

This is my first time voting in this tourney, but I hope my vote is accepted!

Both songs were missing something for me:
5970. Tom Jones - Delilah
vs.
5944. Ofra Haza - Im nin'alu

Both were great, but I chose the more ambitious:
5884. Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4
vs.
5885. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Storm

Tough pick:
5958. Pink Floyd - Echoes
vs.
5971. Pearl Jam - Black

One was much closer to my heart:
5879. Khaled - Aïcha
vs.
5969. Kacey Musgraves - Follow Your Arrow
