Yeah, what’s Glee?

The oil used for cooking curry in. Well is to someone who is Chinese; )

It's a Cup draw not a like for like comparison

Ah ok. I was wanting to put Sweaty Betty/Macc Lads up against Mistletoe and Wine/ Cliff Richard.

Not sure what's the point of voting/liking in this round. The result is pre-determined, isn't it?

Maybe @BlueHammer85 has played a blinder and put MES into bat so he can't use his multiple likes.

Had to go for Bowie despite feeling cheated by the fact he knocked out an absolute classic in the last round.
Close one though.

Ha!

Glee.?

Yeah, what’s Glee?

It's a brilliant American TV show, it's a bit like Waterloo Rd but with music and a lot more sophisticated plots and incredible acting. I recommend that you download all the seasons and binge watch.

(and pre-empting your "what's Waterloo Rd?" question it's a BBC programme about a secondary school, think Poundswick or All Hallows).

Not even one of my favourite Bowie singles (probably about #20 for me) but it wins the day here.

Not even in my top 50 Bowie Songs but still the better of the two IMO to go through.

One of these songs got to #3 in the charts when it was released and the other #24 but which one was the bigger hit originally?

Doubtless Heroes was loved by Bowie fans before Liveaid but it's global popularity is due pretty much entirely to that concert. Since then it's been used by advertising execs to flog everything under the sun, no wonder Moby likes it. Great example of something that's become completely hackneyed. Nice guitar by Fripp though.

As a Bowie fan since his early days, his rendition of Heroes at Live Aid is one of my favourite Bowie performances; and I’d argue one of his greatest.

Well said.

As some twat said as we scored our sixth in the cup final against Watford this vote is getting disrespectful to the battered finalist.
