I'm assuming a lot of you have seen my thread from a couple of days ago where i put the below artists against eachother to see who was more popular.

The most one-sided victory was James Morrison over James Blunt, the latter not getting into double figures, the only artist other than Professor Green to do so, who lost to Example.

The Prodigy and Pendulum battled out to a draw, along with Rock legends Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Please bear in mind some people only voted for artists they felt were relevant, so not all matches have the same number of votes.

Are there any surprises to you, what do you think?

Below are the results! Round 2 coming soon.



Dizzee Rascal 33 - 16 Tinie Tempah

JLS 13 - 45 Take That

Lady Gaga 44 - 13 Rihanna

Pixie Lott 39
- 18 Diana Vickers

Ellie Goulding 21 - 32 Marina & The Diamonds

The Saturdays 16 - 38 Girls Aloud

The Prodigy 28 - 28 Pendulum - TIE

Jay Z 16 - 42 Eminem

James Morrison 46 - 9 James Blunt

Foo Fighters 27 - 27 RHCP - TIE

Professor Green 9 - 42 Example

The Killers 36
- 25 Kings of Leon

Justin Timberlake 37 - 19 Usher

Arctic Monkeys 27
- 25 Muse

Also surprised at Marina comfortably beating Ellie. I prefer Marina but I didn't think she'd win over Ellie on here

Really? KOL's last album was shit, whereas The Killers are always very consistent, try something new with each album and always put the effort in.

But, then again, they are two bands that you just can't compare. They are too different.

Biggest shock for me is JT beating Usher!

Usher has years and years of brilliant pop records, JT has 2 albums and a load of bit parts in songs!

I though Diana Vickers/Pixie Lott would have ended with Pixie winning, but not by so much

You should have done a Alexandra Burke Vs Cheryl Cole one.

Nah, Alex vs Leona.

It'd be Cheryl vs Kelly Rowland or Ke$ha or something.

I'm surprised Take That beat JLS by so much (I can't stand JLS but thought they would have got a few more votes) and Justin Timberlake beating Usher is a bit surprising too

I find The Killers totally bland to be honest. Really don't get their appeal. KOL's last album wasn't as good as their previous ones but it wasn't sh*t.

As you say though two quite different bands.

KOL's last album may not have been their best, but it was a helluva lot better than The Killers last album. The Killers have been slowly declining since Hot Fuss.

Only By The Night and Hot Fuss are two of my favourite albums of all time so it was hard to seperate them.

Well, it's all a matter of opinion, isn't it? Day & Age is kind of in the same boat as Only By The Night, as in, it wasn't as good as previous albums, but, I feel that The Killers are constantly experimenting and changing things up to keep things excited, so if they do return to the British Synth of Hot Fuss or American Rock of Sam's Town, they can't be accused of always doing the same thing, as Day & Age was just completely different to anything they had ever released before.

But Kings Of Leon just really went out of their way to go mainstream. Don't get me wrong, there were a few good songs on the album, but it left a very unsavoury taste in my mouth afterwards. And Kings Of Leon never experiment or change it up. But I suppose I can't blame them. Stick to a winning formula and you can't go wrong.

The Killers take risks with their music. Kings Of Leon don't. But they really are too different to compare. It's like comparing water to milkshake.

Happy to see James Morrison easily beating James Blunt. Much more talented in my opinion

Oh no. Cheryl in the same league as Kelly or Kesha. No way. How about Cheryl vs Geri halliwell. Both not known for voices but from a successful girlband and had a successful solo career.
