David Holmes - Compared to What



Aventura - Mi Corazoncito

Holmes gets my vote. I really like that retro soul kind of vibe it has. It did get a bit repetitive though. But the Aventura song is just really not my kind of thing at all.

Out of ten

When I heard David Holmes, I thought - "Holy shit, this is absolutely one of the worst Music Taste Championship songs I've ever heard. But... Hilariously... It was all in the title.

As in... Compared to what???

Because holy fucking cow, the next song is just unbelievably shit in so many ways... I mean, I can't believe either of these people are pumpkins fans, let alone among ones I socialize with everyday. COME ON! That was TERRRIBLE!!!!!

I've never seen such badness here. Really disturbing. Vote to David, but seriously do a better job next time.

LOL! There are lots of things in this world that are "really disturbing." I think the song choices here are far from making onto that list. haha....but I think I can predict where this match is going to end up already.

I don't give a zero out of ten lightly. That was ridiculous. I mean what's disturbing these days? The papers seem to rotate between random people dying, election candidate fuck ups, and football. And even all of that trite is better than these two songs. Disturbing? Man. Anyone who is on this site, is reaching out for musically-good-tasted people we can't meet in the real world. I don't need some brains eaten out zombies trying to show me how bad music gets. Seriously. I know everyone loves their own taste, but I draw the line here. This shit is terrible.

This is just for fun, man. You're taking it way too seriously.

Yeah OK. I just don't know how to 'not-seriously' (consider) a song.

Holmes is grooving like ass, I like it .

One of my Spanish coworkers is called "Hombrassos" (which is a fictious wannabe-Spanish word by the way).
That's what Aventura kept thinking me about.
Shout it out loud with me: HOMBRASSOS!!! HOMBRASSOS!!!

It's good to see people posting anything different than the same old rock farts. Keep it rolling, I have to go with Holmes today but Hombrassos was awesome by it's own means.

Wow, Ok. A good review of Rubbish from someone I respect.

Come on Franky, you know deep down you liked them...

Let me join Don now while I fist-pump: "HOMBRASSOS!! HOMBRASSOS!! HOMBRASSOS!!"

While I am not as upset as Frank I am a bit disappointed that one of these songs will move on when songs that were (in my opinion) top notch were eliminated due to top competition. But oh well, that is the luck of the draw I suppose.

I went with Aventura, because while both choices were bold, that was the boldest. Plus I do not speak Spanish but I like to think that they were saying something very profound.

So, yeah, I liked neither song, but I do respect that whoever picked these went wayyyyyy off the beaten path.

Neither would make it on my favourite song list. But the Aventura one was funny. As if the guys from Mars Volta got super wasted one night and sat around with a pair of bongos singing old bachata music in their native Spanish. Since I'm forced to pick one I might as well go with it.

I didn't hate either, but I didn't particularly like them either. I'm sure Aventura is nice for the genre, but not really into it. Not really into the other one, but I like the beat better. They were so-so. I'm gonna go with the David Holmes one.

So what happens at the end again? Does the winner of the regular matches meet the winner of the elimination matches? I know it's bit early, but just wondered.

Yes. And the one who came out of the elimination bracket would have to win twice to win it all.

On another note, I am shocked this match is tied. I thought aventura would be lucky to get 2 votes.

Gotta go with David Holmes on this one. Groovy stuff.

i will give both people cred for bold choices. i voted for Aventura. i liked it better and i happen to quite like Latin music. i thought it was pretty good. just because its a little more "ethnic" or not in English doesn't make it crap. i don't think it will kill any of us to be exposed to different, non-alt rock styles.

Wow, another insanely close match.

It's a 6 - 5 win for David Holmes. Both elimination matches have been decided by 1 vote each.

So, in 14th place, we say goodbye to Venison.

Props for the two very bold choices:

Marvin Gaye - Sexual Healing
Aventura - Mi Corazoncito

Well sexual healing was great. Changes the way you look at life

Yeah, hats off to everyone who appreciated a change from the same ol', same ol'

Too bad I went out though, my next song would have been Radiohead
