The heat cranked up in the Sweet Sixteen, bringing several major upsets to the draw. Two more top seeds unexpectedly fell by the wayside, with #5 "1 Thing" rather convincingly dispatching #1 "Hung Up" and #5 "SOS" coming from behind to spank #1 "Bootylicious." That leaves only #1 "Fantasy" still in contention, after it defeated #5 "If." Making a doubly bad day for Beyoncé and Janet Jackson, #2 "Crazy In Love" couldn't get past #6 "Bitter Sweet Symphony", while #3 "Someone To Call My Lover" lost to #10 "Lose Control" by a single vote in the closest battle of the round. But Mariah Carey doubled her chances with #3 "The Roof (Back In Time)" emerging victorious over #15 "212." The two biggest wins came from #2 "Toxic", which received more than twice as many votes as #11 "Love Again," and perhaps most surprisingly, #13 "Paper Planes", now the lowest-ranked song left in the tournament after it beat #9 "Ready or Not."

 

(5) "1 Thing" Amerie def. (1) "Hung Up" Madonna [20-13]

(2) "Toxic" Britney Spears def. (11) "Love Again" Dua Lipa [23-10]

(1) "Fantasy" Mariah Carey def. (5) "If" Janet Jackson [21-12]

(10) "Lose Control" Missy Elliott ft. Ciara and Fatman Scoop def. (3) "Someone To Call My Lover" Janet Jackson [17-16]

(5) "SOS" Rihanna def. (1) "Bootylicious" Destiny's Child [18-15]

(6) "Bitter Sweet Symphony" The Verve def. (2) "Crazy In Love" Beyoncé ft. Jay-Z [19-14]

(13) "Paper Planes" M.I.A. def. (9) "Ready or Not" Fugees [22-11]

(3) "The Roof (Back In Time)" Mariah Carey def. (15) "212" Azealia Banks ft. Lazy Jay [20-13]

 

That brings us to the Elite Eight of ATRL March Madness, where just eight dazzling reinventions remain chasing the title of the most creative sample. And yet two of those tracks come courtesy of Mariah Carey. Is this competition hers for the taking this year? Check out the updated draw below:

I think the Fantasy/Lose Control winner and Toxic are the early favorites.

This fucking nickname fhdgds

 

BSS is highly deserving of the win, but I don't see any way a pop girl doesn't take this. Of course, I never would have predicted "Hung Up" would lose last round...

Actually, "Crazy In Love" getting knocked out while "1 Thing" takes down the top seed in the whole tournament is kind of funny.

I understand that Hung Up losing must be very upsetting for the homosexual community, but Ameria won fair and square.
