[Game] 5th Annual March Madness Tournament | WINNER

[cheapthrills]

5th Annual March Madness Tournament

All that is needed to participate is to post your eight choices here. Please make sure you rank your songs. Keep in mind that in the preliminary rounds, the song with the higher ranking moves on in case of a tie.

Wow, we are up to the 5th annual tournament. Hopefully, we will have some good participation with this go-around. It's that time again! In our last tournament, Marina's About Face beat out the Temples' Paraphernalia. Let's see which song emerges triumphant this time around. Rules from the previous contest are listed below.

-----
For those of you new to this, this is a bi-annual tournament in which all participants submit eight songs, and then go against each other in head to head competition.

This is a tournament that involves your input. Once each person submits eight songs, we create a single elimination tournament like this: http://challonge.com/ukmix2016

I love this tournament because I learn of new songs!
----

You cannot use the same song as a song already submitted in previous tournaments:

• 2016 Year-End Tournament.
• 2017 March Madness Tournament
• 2017 Summertime Madness Tournament.
• 2018 March Madness Tournament
• 2018 Summertime Madness Tournament
• 2019 March Madness Tournament
• 2019 Summertime Madness Tournament
• 2020 March Madness Tournament
• 2020 Summertime Madness Tournament

If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the thread. You have until 5AM Mountain Time on February 25th to submit your choices. I am hopeful that's enough time to generate interest.

I will be put everything into the challonge bracket so we can track the match-ups. Rules for the tournament in the next post!

[Zeph]

1. Losing the Plot (ZAX vs Fraser T Smith "Arisen Phoenix" Remix) - Alanis Morissette
2. Momma Always Told Me - Mike Posner, Stanaj & Yung Bae
3. Start Over Again - Marc Benjamin x Afrojack f/ Vula

7. Happy Endings - Mike Shinoda, iann dior & UPSAHL
8. What Other People Say - Sam Fischer & Demi Lovato

I was planning to include Higher as well but swapped it out since it’s already listed to add more variety. Marina’s last album was truly an ‘about face’ from her amazing repertoire but the song that got crowned last season was About Love.

[GaGarazzi]

1. Indochine & Christine and The Queens - 3SEX
2. Mylčne Farmer - L'âme Dans L'eau
3. Vanessa Paradis - Vague A L'âme Soeur
4. Najoua Belyzel - Le Con Qui S'adore
5. Carla Bruni - Quelque Chose
6. Yelle - Je T'aime Encore
7. Cassandre - Burning Dancefloor
8. Kelly Clarskson & Zaz - I Dare You (Appelle Ton Amour)

[Zeph]

I may be making a change. I’m strongly considering swapping a song into the 8 that I’ve been listening to non-stop.

Thought I'd send one more reminder tag out there - we'll start this in less than 48 hours if you'd like to participate. Would be nice to get at least one more for an even bracket, though even more than that would be great.

Hey Robert! I somehow missed you submitted Mike Posner's song after Zeph had already submitted it. Can you provide a new entry?

[cheapthrills]
