"Hard Time" by Alex Wray (set to the tune of "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter)
Alex used a computer program to create the "chipmunk" effect on his project.
"What I Do" by Anthony Hill (set to the tune of "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol)
The instrumental (guitar) was played by Anthony himself.
"Love Song" by Bailey Kinkead (set to the tune of "Love Song" by Taylor Swift)
