Let's give @skurt another 10-15 minutes to get his round 2 picks in. If I don't have picks by 1:15 PM EST, I'll post the round 3 matchups (I already have it typed up)
Final Round 2 Totals: What We Don't Know: 10 Step Up: 2 Reading My Eyes: 1 Carousel: 11 New Divide: 6 Part of Me: 6 QWERTY: 10 Dedicated: 2 Three very decisive matchups and one tie. I want everyone to know that I did not take this decision lightly! I listened to both New Divide and Part of Me several times in the past hour and a half and I have come to my final decision. While I do enjoy both songs, I have to go with Part of Me here. I've always seen New Divide more or less as What I've Done Pt. 2. That's not a bad thing necessarily, but I think that Part of Me is the more original song and I like the Mike/Chester balance. So with all that said, here are the semifinal matchups! LINKIN PARK B-SIDES TOURNAMENT ROUND 3 What We Don't Know vs. Carousel Part of Me vs. QWERTY Voting starts now!
Current Totals: What We Don't Know - 0 Carousel - 4 Part Of Me - 1 QWERTY - 3 Obviously super early, but looking like one of the matchups will be a runaway.
Current Totals: What We Don't Know - 0 Carousel - 7 Part Of Me - 1 QWERTY - 6 Based on the number of participants we've had for the b-sides, a run rule may be here sooner than later haha
What we don't know. This has some of Chester's best melodies, people must reaaally like carousel. It never did anything for me. Part of me
Current Totals: What We Don't Know - 5 Carousel - 7 Part Of Me - 2 QWERTY - 10 We could be witnessing the greatest comeback in Linkin Park bracket history right now!
The most that New Divide ever trailed by at any time was 3 when it was down 6-3. Carousel had a 7-0 lead on What We Don't Know!
