Ah ok I only just saw this (my default is to see a video and not click on it). Time to find some tracks, quickly I guess.

Cool, although some of these links don't work by the way as they are linked to this thread.
Made a playlist although I can't find "Love Comes Running Up That Hill Quickly" by DJ Magnet, "My Hometown" by Keevy Hazelton or The Consouls on spotify so substituted.
Also Cold Day in Hell by foo fighters? not cold day in the sun?

And now, the results from THE ROUND OF 8. First up is the matchup of Futureraven vs. Roxie. For the Step Up category, Futureraven chose "These Dreams" by Heart while Roxie took "Cold Day In the Sun" by Foo Fighters. For Oscar-losing songs, Futureraven selected "Maniac" by Michael Sambello while Roxie chose a Jon Bon Jovi solo hit in "Blaze Of Glory". With multiple samples, Futureraven went with "Love Comes Running Up That Hill Quickly" by DJ Magnet while Roxie took "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg" by TLC. If you're wondering about me announcing all the songs at once, well, it's because... {Spoiler}Roxie won in a clean sweep! Not only that, her picks almost swept the judges, with the only dissent coming from DASH choosing "These Dreams".
Futureraven, you tore it up big time this competition. I know I'm not alone in saying that it'd be really interesting to see what you bring next season. Up next is J vs. Clash. For the video game round, J chose "11 A.M." by The Consouls while Clash went with "I'm Back (to Rise!)" by Mick Gordon. For the newcomer category, J chose "Hunnybee" by Unknown Mortal Orchestra while Clash took "Big Love" by Jamie Liddell. In the genre change portion, J took Paramore while Clash went with Queen Latifah. Notice something? {Spoiler}Clash wins another sweep! The judges were still split on the songs, though, with the exception of the genre part:
MG: fw91, IT Consouls: DASH
JL: fw91, DASH UMO: IT
J, making it to this point is no small feat. And you've shown quite the range of musical knowledge this season as well. Can't wait to see you come back. Next up is Brad vs. RadG, and I may as well spoil it now: this is the first matchup that is NOT a sweep. In fact, it's quite close. For the home category, Brad took "My Hometown" by Keevy Hazelton while RadG picked "Paradise" by Cub Sport. Taking this one is... {Spoiler}RadG, with votes from DASH and Tyger. For the Step Up, Brad chose "Death Of A Clown" by The Kinks while RadG went with "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)" by Arcade Fire. Getting the second point is... {Spoiler}Brad, getting votes from DASH and fw91. For the movie round, Brad picked "All The Stars" by Kendrick Lamar and SZA while RadG chose "The Moon Song" by Karen O. Who will advance to the semis? {Spoiler}RadG! "The Moon Song" got votes from DASH and Tyger.
Brad, you always bring a unique sense of picks to the game and did such a great job here. Hope you come back for another. Finally, Joker vs. suave. For the sample round, Joker went with "Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt" by DJ Shadow while suave took "Electric Relaxation" by A Tribe Called Quest. The first point goes to... {Spoiler}suave, getting votes from DASH and fw91. In the Smashing Pumpkins shout-out round, Joker picked "Concorde" by Gregory Porter while suave went with "The End" by The Doors. The second point goes to... {Spoiler}Joker, with a judging sweep! Finally, for going home, both players went country, with Joker taking "Driving Home For Christmas" by Chris Rea and suave taking "Dixieland Delight" by Alabama. The last person advancing to the semis is... {Spoiler}suave! suave got the votes from DASH and fw91 to win.
Joker, you had one of the most dominant runs this season and established yourself as a threat for future seasons. Well done. New themes tomorrow as I need to think.

Well played Suave and congrats to all the players who made it into the next round. It was a lot of fun, some great tracks. You and suave were ridiculously close. You won me over with the individual matchups but it was neck and neck. This game's over 11 years old and I'd put you down as having one of the best first games ever.
