Cover Bracket - The Phantom Preliminary!
Which version of Nightwish' The Phantom of the Opera do you like best?
Studio Album version (Tarja + Marko)
Live at Hartwell Arena 2005 (Tarja + Marko)
Beste Zangers version by Floor & Henk Poort
And yes, technically the band Nightwish doesn't play on the last version, but it is a metal version the show's band plays and Floor was already part of the band by that point, so I'm counting it as a Nightwish version.
Link to the original by Andrew Lloyd Webber (sung by Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford)
Submissions for the cover bracket are closed!
We have 38 songs with duplicate submissions (I counted 3 versions of the same song as 1), which might make it into the bracket. These songs are highlighted with a background color on the spread sheet.
Are you interested to see all 247 submissions? I published the spread sheet for you all to see!
For all of you who like to look at it, please let me know if you think any of the highlighted (duplicate) songs should not be let into the bracket, and why! You can do this by commenting on this post, or DMing me, or send an ask (anonymous or not). It could make things a lot easier to get down to 32 submissions. If this doesn't work, we'll hold prelims for the songs with 2 submissions (which are like... 27 of them I think, so quite a lot).
Anyway, we will hold a prelim poll for the best version of Nightwish's The Phantom of the Opera soon, so only the winning version will make it into the bracket.
Cover Bracket - Preliminary D
Somehow, the big 3 of symphonic metal lined up their songs so alphabetically that they make up this entire poll. Links to the songs and their originals are underneath the poll. The song with the least votes gets eliminated.

Running Up That Hill by Within Temptation
Sacred & Wild by Epica
Summertime Sadness by Within Temptation
The Ghost In Me (Danse Macabre) by Epica
