As a reminder, please vote in every round if you choose to vote. You can do it in parts (i.e. put up some votes and say "I'll edit with the rest later") as long as you actually follow through. Also, for simplicity's sake try to format the votes as follows:
Code:
East:
Match 1: [winner]
Match 2: [winner]
...
Match 8: [winner]
West:
Match 1: [winner]
...NOW GET TO IT, GENTLEMEN.
And ladies, I suppose. >_>
P.S. Here's a player list if you want to see it.
Players
I almost forgot,
REGARDING THE LOSER'S BRACKET:
Every round, the losing song from every main bracket match will get dropped into the loser's bracket. Loser's bracket rounds will operate on a race-to-the-finish mindset, with the first song in each match to garner 7 votes advancing to the next round of the loser's bracket. This will be done as an attempt to expedite the loser's bracket somewhat, as it will probably last an extra two rounds beyond the main bracket.

I just fixed PWt'FoaB
I'll be checking the rest to make sure none of the others do that
I'm gon edit my picks in hurr
EAST DIVISION
Match 1: Pig With the Face of a Boy - Complete History Of The Soviet Union, Arranged To The Melody Of Tetris <-- It was funny, and the other song seemed kind of generic to me
Match 2: Elton John - Saturday Night's All Right for Fighting <-- Other song was kind of meh, and this one was about fighting!!! Yeah
Match 3: The Orichalcon - Clairvoyant Eulogy <-- The other song was ok, I just liked this one more
Match 4: Uncle Kracker - Follow Me <-- Secondhand Serenade wasn't bad, see above
Match 5: Golden Sun OST - Isaac Battle Theme <-- I had to turn off the other song halfway through and put on the real DF song. 8-bit just doesn't do it justice
Match 6: Candlemass - Don't Fear the Reaper (Blue Oyster Cult Cover) <-- Don't Fear the Reaper is a really cool song, and they covered it pretty well
Match 7: Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra - Fragrance of Dark Coffee (Orchestra version) <-- The other song did not impress me, I've been suckered by orchestra once again
Match 8: Andrea Bocelli - Con Te Partiro <-- I like Take On Me in a "haha, this song is kind of annoying, but it makes me laugh" way. Con Te Partiro is simply beautiful
WEST DIVISION
Match 1: Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower (Bob Dylan Cover) <-- I love Audioslave, but Dandelion is pretty low on my list of "Audioslave songs that rock my face" and it's not one of the songs I can justify picking over Hendrix
Match 2: Gigi D'Agostino - The Riddle <-- I dunno. Neither was great
Match 3: Barenaked Ladies - One Week <-- Both were good but I liked this song long before it got entered into ToP
Match 4: Mad World - Gary Jules <-- I love this song
Match 5: They Might Be Giants - Experimental Film <-- I hate Kings of Leon, their music always annoys me, 100% of the time
Match 6: Aqua - Dr. Jones <-- Silly and fun
Match 7: Taio Cruz feat. Kylie Minogue - Higher <-- I enjoyed this a lot
Match 8: Cee Lo Green - F*ck You <-- Oh man this song was so cool, unexpected awesome

Match 4: Uncle Kracker - Follow Me

I think that goes without saying, it's also in the OP. More importantly, I would prefer that everyone at least listen to each song once before voting. Looking at you, Rob.
Tournament of Picks ROUND 3, FIGHT! - Jedward - 2011-02-15
Editing votes in as usual.
EAST DIVISION
Match 1: Pig With the Face of a Boy - Complete History Of The Soviet Union, Arranged To The Melody Of Tetris - This is not a.. real song. I wouldn't vote for this if I didn't hate the other song, honestly.
Match 2: The Audition - Los Angeles - I like this song.
Match 3: Alisa (We ♥ Katamari OST) - Everlasting Love - I don't like the remix.
Match 4: Uncle Kracker - Follow Me - The other song is a little TOO generic for my tastes.
Match 5: Mario Paint - Through the Fire and Flames (Dragonforce Cover) - I like this. And agree with Spaz: a much better GS song could have been chosen.
Match 6: Jonathan Coulton - Code Monkey - I like it. And dislike the other song. Derp.
Match 7: Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra - Fragrance of Dark Coffee (Orchestra version)
Match 8: A-Ha - Take On Me - I have a soft spot for orchestral music, being a former band geek (though I'm still a choir geek), but I really love Take On Me. Con Te Partiro is definitely holding a spot in my heart, though.
WEST DIVISION
Match 1: Audioslave - Dandelion - Jimi Hendrix couldn't hold my attention.
Match 2: Gigi D'Agostino - The Riddle - I just dislike the other song.
Match 3: Barenaked Ladies - One Week - See Take On Me.
Match 4: Mad World - Gary Jules - Eh.
Match 5: Kings of Leon - Birthday - Hard choice. As much as I like TMBG, Birthday takes the cake. >_>;
Match 6: Philip Quast - Stars - Aqua is just.. annoying.
Match 7: Taste - Ren'ai Circulation (Orchestra version) - Taio is okay, but this song blew me away.
Match 8: Cee Lo Green - pineapple You - I love this song.

1. Pain of Salvation - Ashes: Didn't like either very much, but I must give the other video credit for it's decently funny concept.

Tournament of Picks ROUND 3, FIGHT! - Rob - 2011-02-15
Wait what? I listened to every song at least twice. After all the music I've listened throughout the years, after 2 minutes I can tell if I like a song or not.
... Except for Andrea Bocelli. Nothing's gonna change my vote on Take On Me <3
Tournament of Picks ROUND 3, FIGHT! - Mephisto - 2011-02-16
Even if you've already made up your mind, you should still listen to both songs.
