Damn, Cars and Rappers Delight is a brutal matchup

damn, Nena's not getting any love from the seeding committee, having to take on Beds Are Burning, The Boys are Back in Town, and Now I Want Candy?

Will that make her battle-tested down the stretch . . . ?

The first and last matchups were the ones I struggled with.

I keep seeing Natalie Imbruglia's name and wondering "where's the hot button?"

[Breeze]

Nena vs Bow Wow Wow - a bit surprised by this vote total. I expected Nena to win, but given that these come from the same genre with only 2 years separating them, I figured most people that like one will like the other, and I believe an argument can be made that I Want Candy is the better song...so I expected a closer vote.

Numan vs Gang - based on vote totals and opponents from the first 2 rounds I knew that this would be a close one. Wasn't sure which way this would fall...

Cherry vs Deep Blue - another one that looked like it was going to be close. My prediction would have been White Boy as the winner.

Contours vs Imbruglia - interesting The Contours got as many votes as they did. I would have guessed a much bigger win for Torn. Hats off to "Do You Love Me"...a 60s song (so clearly not in the boards wheel house), performing strongly in the 3rd round.

very pleased with how this round went. Cars is SOOOOOOO beautiful of a song!
I like tiffanys is less annoying than funky music which i've heard so much i want it out of my head
