March Madness: Disney Songs – Elite 8

This bracket, more than any of our other yearly tournaments has completely baffled me at every turn. We have had a few Cinderella stories that have stayed in much longer than I thought and some real blue bloods fall much earlier than most of us expected. Our Sweet 16 seemed like it was set up to go through without much of a surprise but, my God y’all. There was one game that absolutely blew my mind. More on that in a bit.

The Regional Finals begin now and voting will end Wednesday, March 30 at 5pm Central. Our Final 4 and regional winners will be announced Thursday and the start of the ultimate battle of Disney supremacy begins. Good luck with making up your mind on some of these.

But first — Let’s get on to the results! Remember all “scores” are percentages from voting.

March Madness: Disney Songs – Sweet 16

Well, here we are. After an absolutely mad first two rounds we are already to our Sweet 16. The Round of 32 went by with a few massive upsets that I 100% did not see coming. We are all of the sudden down a couple of 1 seeds and a 2 seed. You guys had me completely and utterly gobsmacked with a couple of these picks, especially in the Donald and Goofy Region. Every year I have an idea of what I think the final two in each region will be (not always the 1 & 2 seed) but about half of my Elite 8 guesses are already gone. Y’all are ruthless!

The Regional Semifinals begins now and voting will end Sunday, March 27 at 5pm Central. Good luck with making up your mind on some of these.

March Madness: Disney Songs – Round of 32

Hoo boy. Y’all have definitely made some decisions in the opening round. A couple head scratchers for me for sure but I respect your wrong decisions. Lol. There were four or five games that came down to 1 or 2 votes in the last hour of voting and one match-up that came down to Mrs. Clumsy Optimist pulling in to fulfill her duty as official bracket game tie-breaker for the first time this year. (She doesn’t vote unless there is a tie).

The seeding this year, while again, completely and wholly biased as I went along seems to have been somewhat close to right. The Mickey Region saw 3 upsets, Minnie and Donald Regions almost went scratch, and the Goofy Region was…well…goofy. We saw our first 3 and 4 seeds go down and some Cinderella stories start to take shape.

The second round begins now and voting will end Wednesday, March 23 at 5pm Central. There are already a few damn near impossible choices to be made. Good luck!

March Music Madness – Round of 64

I thought we could have a bit of fun with the NCAA basketball tournament upon us once again. The original idea was to take 4 of the largest musical genres and narrow it down to the 16 best bands or artists in that genre. Super easy right?

Wrong. This was an impossible task. The wife and I spent a good portion of Tuesday evening picking artists and seeding them to the best of our abilities. Some of our favorites didn’t even make the final cut. Many of our favorites are going up against each other or face certain demise in the first round. We tried to keep the personal biases as little as possible, but of course we made some decisions based on our personal likes and dislikes. In the future, remind me to be more specific in theme.
