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!
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
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.
Kentucky ain’t Blue tonight!
