Jackie Wilson may be going higher and higher, but these scores aren't far from earth

Well, this was a pretty even-keeled match, with our winners mostly averaging about a 7 and our losers averaging in the 5 range.

Our only upset here is also our closest match, with our lowest-average winner and highest-average loser: #6 seed Mavis Staples’s “Son of a Preacherman” defeats #3 seed “Interstate Love Song” by Stone Temple Pilots by 8.15 points.  The rest of the match-ups aren’t even close, with the higher seeded song taking it.
