Re: Cover Versions vs Originals - Semi Finals 1
I think perhaps there is a mistake? If there are 16 in this round, it should be the winners of each of the 14 groups, plus top 2 repechage, right? (Tainted Love was third).

A group so good that it makes Midnight Train to Georgia seem like a minor song.

Janis Joplin - Me & Bobby McGee
Soft Cell - Tainted Love
Nina Simone - Feeling Good
Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now
Me & Bobby McGee is my clear favorite, but the other three are also great and could be in almost any order.
