Radio 1 listeners have chosen their Best Ever Live Lounge Cover......
Over 500 artists have performed in the Live Lounge and over 2 months, Radio 1 listeners have whittled down the acts in a series of rounds culminating in a three way final:
30 Seconds to Mars vs Florence and The Machine vs Will Young And the winner is....... 30 Seconds to Mars covering Kanye West's 'Stronger' The cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJu770gscW8 The original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsO6ZnUZI0g Great cover! NO multi voting was allowed in the final so the result is a fair representation of each person who voted. 2nd Will Young covers OutKast's 'Hey Ya' 3rd Florence and the Machine covers Beyonce's 'Halo' Confused why certain covers didn't make it? Here is the run down of who knocked out who. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/fearneco...iveloungedraw/ |

Right result! As soon as I heard about the competition I knew there could be only one winner (in my opinion, of course!) and that was 30 Seconds to Mars.

I don't think that live version was a patch on the original Live lounge performance though.
Here is Will's Live Lounge Hey Ya, the only one I could find, officially second best Live Lounge ever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5px1eBQ19Xw |

![]() It drew me in and I was fixated on the Radio until Jo Whiley said who it was and i couldn't believe it. Bought it off itunes about 5 seconds later

My personal favourites would be
Arctic Monkeys-Love Machine/You Know I'm No Good Kate Nash-Flourescent Adolescent Jamelia-Numb Biffy-Umbrella Charlotte Church-Let Me Love You Natasha Bedingfield-Chasing Cars/The Scientist Jamie T-If I were a Boy Florence and the Machine-Halo Kooks-Crazy Adele-Last Night. But My ultimate winner would have to be Leona with Run. That performance made me stop the car because I had goosebumps (and I'd wanted The McDonald Bros to win X Factor so wasn't really a fan, especially after she butchered Kelly Clarkson's Winners single!) for me it was a faultless performance, full of emotion and just bloody brilliant really (A million miles away from the soulless, emotionless production Simon Cowell stamped onto it to ruin the studio version of the same song) |

Im so glad Florence didnt win. I love her album, but that version of Halo is seriously shockingly bad.
