Unacclaimed IV Elimination 64.2

[whuntva]

Here we have another group of sixteen. After a somewhat contentious week, this one should be even better!

Here, votes are worth only one point. Pick the song from each pairing you want to see advance. Ties broken now by sudden-death overtime.

Due to the sheer volume of songs, only sixteen per week will be unveiled. The Round of 64 will last for four weeks.

Voting for this round ends 12/11 at 11:59 PM.

[whuntva]

Lula Côrtes & Zé Ramalho - Nas Paredes Da Pedra Encantada (BRA)

It took awhile to grow on me, but I have decided I like this track.

Deodato - Super Strut (BRA)

Deodato rocks it to give us a potential all-Brazil matchup next round.

Charles & Eddie - Would I Lie To You (USA)

Both songs need to simmer for awhile, but this one I took to more quickly.

Ray Barreto - Cocinando (USA)

Not a fan of the Sinatra track at all.

Silversun Pickups-Panic Switch (USA)

Toughest call of the game.

Strawbs - Medley: Ghosts (Sweet Dreams/Night Light/Guardian Angel) (UK)

Strawbs gave a song that needs more than one listen.

Seinabo Sey - Hard Time (SWE)

"Hard Time" was one of the very few songs this year I had to add to my playlist as soon as I first heard it.

Dusty Springfield - What Good is I Love You? (UK)

Dusty has a nice voice.

There is some real quality here (like last week), I foresee the round of 32 ejecting some very good songs.

whuntva, the link for the original (and much better) version of "Cocinando" is not that one. I'm sending the link:

Last I checked, the Charles & Eddie song didn't make it! Glad it was adjusted! But it seems the other members of the forum don't share my enthusiasm.

Ray Barreto - Cocinando
Frank Sinatra - Michael and Peter

This was a toughie, but I made my decision.

I have no idea who will win this set! I hope Charles & Eddie or Cortes & Ramalho win.

Donald Byrd - I Feel Like Loving You Today --- Tough choice.

"Hard Time" is missing something for me to truly enjoy it. The laid back Byrd track, which sounds like Donald Fagen, got my attention.

Dusty Springfield - What Good is I Love You? --- Another tough choice.
The Cinematic Orchestra - The Man With the Movie Camera

I think Jacques Brel is going to win. I would prefer Shankar.

Might I hasten to remind everyone we have not one, not two, but THREE ties at the moment.

[whuntva]

About 40 minutes left, and one more vote needed to break this gridlock.

[whuntva]

Sweepstakes Ron ended a thrilling week.

Fleetwood Mac - I've Got A Mind To Give Up Living/ All Over Again: 6
Lula Côrtes & Zé Ramalho - Nas Paredes Da Pedra Encantada: 7

One of three ties broken at the eleventh hour. This went back and forth after they led 2-0.

Deodato - Super Strut: 9
Snowmine - Columbus: 4

Deodato led 8-1. Snowmine rallied over the weekend but it was too little, too late as the all-Brazil match looms.


Iamamiwhoami - Sever: 6
Charles & Eddie - Would I Lie To You: 7

Charles & Eddie led 3-0, but after Iamamiwhoami scored three unanswered, it went to the wire.


Ray Barreto - Cocinando: 7
Frank Sinatra - Michael and Peter: 6

Ray came from behind to tie and eventually win this round.

Ananda Shankar - Streets of Calcutta: 8
Silversun Pickups-Panic Switch: 5

Silversun Pickups led 3-0. but had no response once Ananda came from the woodwork.


Strawbs - Medley: Ghosts (Sweet Dreams/Night Light/Guardian Angel): 6
Jacques Brel - Le Plat Pays: 7

Though the last vote cut it close, Jacques had just enough in the tank to muscle through.

Seinabo Sey - Hard Time: 11
Donald Byrd - I Feel Like Loving You Today: 2

Seinabo established a strong victory. She seems to be the favorite of this quadrant to win.

Dusty Springfield - What Good is I Love You?: 3
The Cinematic Orchestra - The Man With the Movie Camera: 10

In another easy victory, Cinematic Orchestra were completely unchallenged.

I counted all four 7-6 games to 7-7!!!

However, Even with this new vote, I still have Lula & Ze winning.

I agree with that. I might have got it wrong because spiritualized moved around the order of the song titles.
