Good Evening friends!  We’ve all been on the edges of our seats for these results and after hours of tabulating scores, I finally have results for you!

First of all, we had 31 voters in this round — not bad for a Sunday night post!

11 Seed -- Cake -- Advances

When I put together the post about these match-ups, I would have never guessed that things would turn out the way they did.  I wouldn’t have picked a twangy country duet over Tears for Fears.  I wouldn’t have expected a difference of almost 165 points between the lowest and highest scoring songs.  And most of all, I wouldn’t have excepted Cake to advance, much less be the high scorer of the night.

The Scores:

(2) Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man, Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn v. (15) Mad World, Tears for Fears

Twitty & Lynn defeat Tears for Fears by a hair:  190.5-187.6

(7) No One, Alicia Keys v. (10) How You Like Me Now, The Heavy

The People like The Heavy.  The Heavy advances.  209.5-200.2

(3) Trust, Megadeath v. (14) Dos Gardenias, Buena Vista Social Club

The Cole Miner's Daughter Moves On

Megadeath succumbs to Buena Vista Social Club.  170.9-147.3

(6) Yellow Ledbetter, Pearl Jam v. (11) Let Me Go, Cake

And Cake, well, takes the cake.  211.9-205.5

Out of the Tournament:  Tears for Fears, Alicia Keys, and Megadeath.
