    Little Lion Man was released in mid-2009, probably shouldn't be eligible here


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 57,882 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Hmmm.. Good point.

    Disqualified.

    Instead have this
    Bastille - Pompeii

    Little Lion Man was released in mid-2009, probably shouldn't be eligible here

    Blake Shelton ; Yay
    great song, big fan of it

    another of my nominations, she has such a great voice, and just a really well put together song

    Lots of country & western going on - was 2010s a C&W decade? Also a lot of The Voice judges popping up. Adam Levine is an amazing singer but some of his Maroon 5 stuff is poor
