We now begin the second and final week in the round of 32. For the last four rounds, they will all be across one week.
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.

Voting for this round ends 1/8 at 11:59 pm.

Last week was a really tough week for me. There were 4 songs in the round of 32 that I gave a 10, and 3 of them lost last week (Bunsen Burner, Schnittke, and Bill Fay). Now only The Cinematic Orchestra remains for me (though there still are plenty of great songs left in the tournament).

Re: Unacclaimed IV 32.2
Lula Côrtes & Zé Ramalho - Nas Paredes Da Pedra Encantada vs.
Deodato - Super Strut
Charles & Eddie - Would I Lie to You? vs.
Ray Barreto - Cocinando
My love for the sound of "Oye Como Va" beats out my liking for an otherwise classic.
Ananda Shankar - Streets of Calcutta vs.
Jacques Brel - Le Plat Plays
Seinabo Sey - Hard Time vs.
The Cinematic Orchestra - The Man with the Movie Camera
Angelique Kidjo - Olofoofo vs.
Four Tet - Parallel Jalebi
I vote for Four Tet because "Olofoofo" seems incredibly dull.
Amy MacDonald - Don't Tell me That It's Over vs.
Ali Chukwuma - Ezi Okwu Bu Ndu
Laura Viers - July Flame vs.
Archie Shepp - Attica Blues
"July Flame" is truly great.
Journey - Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) vs.
David Lynch and Lykke Li - I'm Waiting Here
THE HARDEST CHOICE.
All my favorites are pitted against each other in this 32 round (and my least favorite too).
Winning guesses: "Cocinando", "July Flame", "The Man with the Movie Camera" or "I'm Waiting Here"
Preferred: "Nas Paredes Da Pedra Encantada", "July Flame", "I'm Waiting Here", "Separate Ways"

Lula Côrtes & Zé Ramalho - Nas Paredes Da Pedra Encantada 5

Amy MacDonald-Don't Tell me That It's Over 9
Ali Chukwuma-Ezi Okwu Bu Ndu 5
Amy held off a late surge to keep her win streak alive.

Re: Unacclaimed IV 32.2
Oh man, this really hurts that "Attica Blues" got eliminated, I felt that one really had a chance out of my nominations.
Coincidentally enough, The Cinematic Orchestra track is also my nomination, so I guess it was a bittersweet week. This unacclaimed looks like the hardest ever to call...

I like both of yours too, Henrik, quite a lot. (Seinabo Sey a bit more.)

This all said ... the overall quality of the round of 32 was absolutely fantastic, in my view the most consistently good unacclaimed pool we've had.
Re: Unacclaimed IV 32.2
I agree about the consistency of these late rounds of the game. Very difficult to make a prediction. In fact, the best thing is not having any clear favorite.
Out of my nominations, Ali Chukwuma's track was my favorite one and I'm glad it has made this far, although I was trully expecting it to win this round. Now I have only one remaining track.
