S2E48: Foreigners2A(PetShop/42; INX/ette)

We start round two in the Foreigners region with two sets of favorites who did as expected and advanced to the second round…but now what?First up, it’s the impossible choice of 1-seed “West End Girls” by the Pet Shop Boys against the ultracool 8-seed “Something About You” by Level 42. Which is more suave, which is more British??Then in the nightcap, we have dominant Aussie 4-seed “Never Tear Us Apart” by INXS against the barely-got-here Swedish pop outfit Roxette, and their worldwide synthsational 5-seed smash, “The Look.” Both bands DO have the look, but do they have the sound?VOTE, and let’s see who survives and advances!
