SoundClash returns with cover songs from the 21st Century going head to head with each other.

U2 are probably one of the most famous bands to originate from Ireland. Their unique blend of rock captivated listeners through the 80's, 90's and 00's.

It's Journey South vs. Mary J. Blige!

You decide!

Here is what we have had so far in this series of SoundClash;

Five vs. Robbie Williams in a battle of the Queen covers

Alien Ant Farm vs. Fall Out Boy in a battle of the Michael Jackson covers

Mad'House vs. Kelly Osbourne in a battle of the Madonna covers

A1 vs Milk Inc. in a battle of the A-ha covers

No Doubt vs. Weezer in a battle of the Talk Talk covers

Scissor Sisters vs. Eric Prydz in a battle of the Pink Floyd covers

Lolly vs. Céline Dion in a battle of the Cyndi Lauper covers

Placebo vs. Maxwell in a battle of the Kate Bush covers

Brandy & Ray J vs. Steve Brookstein in a battle of the Phil Collins covers

Also if anyone thinks it is unfair having a song with the original artist credited... go back to the very first SoundClash in this series to be reminded that it was the same for Queen.

It has to be One!

Mary J Blige

A U2 cover I adore is ‘All I Want Is You’ by Bellefire. Gutted that isn’t on Spotify

I listened to about 2 seconds of that Journey South thing before confirming what I already knew...

Mary J Blige.

Now if it has been Pet Shops Boys' Where The Streets Have No Name....

Although PSB was a 90s cover so couldn't feature in this forum, but I agree that it's genius. Bellefire is also fantastic, agreed.

Anyway, it's Mary J here, the Journey South track is absolutely woeful.

Obviously Mary J + U2

Mary J’s version > the original!

No brainer, 'One'. That Journey South cover is pitiful.

On course for a second whitewash here.

One.

Mary Blige and U2 - I prefer it to the original

Loving that Journey South managed to sneak in one vote!! 😂
