Each week, Mashable picks a popular song, finds 10 covers of it and asks you to vote for your favorite.
At the MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 28, Katy Perry’s “Firework” battles Adele, the Beastie Boys, Bruno Mars and Tyler, The Creator for the coveted Moonman trophy in the Video of the Year category.
In honor of the song’s nomination, we’re pitting a myriad of covers — which have attracted more than 7.5 million pageviews on YouTube — against each other. Vote for your favorite rendition in the poll below.
