Yesterday, I asked you to vote on the second round of match-ups from the
Whitney Division of our draw, and it produced what may ultimately be the single biggest upset of the tournament. In a fiercely close battle,
#9 "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" squeaked past the iconic #1 "I Will Always Love You," an ATRL favorite and an early frontrunner for the crown. The promise of a Sweet Sixteen smackdown between legendary divas was further halted by two low-ranked lucky losers, as
#10 "Losing My Religion" and
#13 "Say My Name" unexpectedly defeated #2 "What's Love Got to Do With It" and #12 "Believe," respectively. The only top seed (and big-voiced belter) left in the region is
#3 "My Heart Will Go On," Celine Dion's divisive
Titanic theme, which stomped over fellow schmaltzy power ballad #6 "Wind Beneath My Wings."
