Yesterday, I asked you to vote on the second round of match-ups from the
Michael Division of our draw, and it was by far the biggest turnout yet. For the most part, the top seeds once again prevailed.
#1 "Beat It" kept the support for #9 "Higher Love" rather low.
#2 "Somebody That I Used to Know" stomped over #10 "Rosanna" by the largest margin of the tournament thus far. And
#4 "Tears in Heaven" stopped upstart #12 "Vision of Love," the top lucky loser nominee, which seemed ripe for a major upset. Instead, we got one of relatively minor scale, as
#6 "Kiss from a Rose" topped #3 "Rolling in the Deep."
Results: Round Two (Michael Division)
(1) "Beat It" Michael Jackson def. (9) "Higher Love" Steve Winwood def. (8) "The Girl from Ipanema" Astrud Gilberto and Stan Getz [18-8]
