Now it’s time for the knockout rounds. We’ll be single-elimination from here on out. You can see the bracket (with results!) here
We’re now small enough for every song to be up every day. Groups will no longer be feathered, and will instead be open until 9:00 am Pacific the day after they go live (roughly the time the next group goes live). You can listen to the entire top 8 here.
PLEASE LISTEN TO BOTH SONGS IN A MATCH BEFORE VOTING
Voting will be live until Thursday, February 20th at 9:00am Pacific

We have a tie. At 14(!) votes no less (previously, the most votes any losing song had was 12). I’m giving the win to “Onett” over “Dancing Mad”. As a wise man once said, “Don’t bore us, get to the chorus!”
