Gaga lovers, you are vindicated, and my bold claims of the invulnerability of Motown are thus disproven. On a late surge, Bad Romance defeats It’s The Same Old Song, 111.5-108.5.
Other results…
Let’s Get It On takes All Night Long, 127.5-100.5. Marvin looking good, probably to be expected.
Hit The Road Jack squeaks over La Bamba, 108.5-107.5.
Train In Vain takes out Caress Me Down, 114-92.
One Headlight had some strong nostalgia supporters referencing 1996 and feeling it. 117.3-101.5, and actually this might be our first father-son pair progressing to the Round of 256. Jakob Dylan, you are appreciated in this crowd.
Last but definitely, definitely not least, Aretha Franklin pounds out 122 points and beats Angel, which accumulated 99.5.
Out of the tournament: Four Topps (0-2. We’ll miss you, but the show must go on), Ritchie Valens, NWA. Hendrix goes to 3-1 with one song left and Sublime goes to 0-1 with the iconic What I Got still remaining.
