The second round of the
Oz Division nearly teed up another shutout for
#1 "Over the Rainbow", which scored all but one vote against #9 "It's Hard Out Here For a Pimp." And the good times kept coming for the top seeds: Disney ballads
#2 "When You Wish Upon a Star" and
#4 "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" steamrolled over their opponents, disco classic #5 "Last Dance" and Record of the Year winner #10 "Days of Wine and Roses," respectively. Meanwhile, the clash of the '80s #1 hits proved to be a washout, with
#3 "Take My Breath Away" suffocating #6 "(I've Had) The Time of My Life."
