The final two entrants in our We Aren't The World Bracket come from two musical stalwarts who, as far as I know, have never collaborated before: electro legends Erasure and ex-Kiss skinsman Peter Criss. No matter who wins, here's hoping that this pairing will inspire them to release "A Little Respect '08" sometime soon!

Beth, I'll be home late tonight. Me and the boys are selling dorm room flags in the student union.
Someone should post the cover for Peter Criss' "Cat #1" album. Now that must be seen to believed!
The Criss cover is too unremarkable, but the Erasure cover is akin to Lisa Frank binders and personalized T-shirts sold at state fairs, circa 1990.
When I see the Erasure cover, I hear the "American Idol" theme song, Simon's once-cutting comments, and get all giddy.
Peter Criss's cover is embarrassing with the damn border.
But I'm picking Erasure as the worst because at least I can see the title and name for Criss's CD. Hah!
@rhythmchyc: It's not like the text on Criss's cover is that much more legible. At first glance I thought the title of his album was "Info Rail."
Erasure's covers have never been likely to win awards, but this one's a new low. Bog standard typeface straight off the Mac, terrible hack Photoshop stuff. Looks like all the songs should be about Unicorns, bulimia and fairytale weddings. Hateful.
Erasure's cover will be inspiring airbrush t-shirts at state fairs from sea to shining sea.
The only thing the cover is missing is a glitter puffy unicorn sticker.
For what it's worth, the Erasure album is really quite good.
The little airplane carrying the banner on the Peter Criss cover clinches it for me. That and the fact that I can't stand Kiss.
This is the best one yet. Both of those covers are lazy photoshop abortions. A read headscratcher.
Do you want to be punched in the face or kicked in the balls?
Since the Erasure record at least conveys a sense of the music contained within, Peter Criss gets the vote.
Oh, admit it, people -- you just hate things that are gay and sparkly -- furthermore, if that was a Kylie cover, everyone would LOVE it! Oh, and I'm with Worm Walker...that record is pretty good.
So where's that bracket PDF that was supposed to be updated every day?
I have a promo copy of the Erasure CD, and it really is terrifying... but the Peter Criss CD, with the flag border, is so mind-boggling, that it gets my vote...
Hooray! I suggested the Erasure cover ages ago. That one's my horse now....
Voting for the Erasure cover because I can't figure out what the hell is going on in it. Is some extraterrestrial being giving birth to a diamond? Does a bird have a piece of ice caught on its nose?
The Erasure cover is perfect for them...whereas Criss' cover is horrible for all. He "wins."
I think the light is supposed to be coming from the diamond. Apparently, diamonds will bring forth "light at the end of the world." Humph.
I have to mention that the letters LL in ALL on the Peter Criss cover are in the shape of the the WTC towers.
NOO YAWK!
