"REDBONE" WON THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO VOTED FOR "REDBONE" (so basically the rock posters, hip-hop posters, and then people like Jordan and Narwhals)!!! I've probably set the bar high for myself since this was my first time participating in a tournament-style game. On another note, let the meltdown begin, I guess.

Can someone tell me what the hell is so great about Redbone?
His voice sucks in that song, its so boring, makes me fall asleep, and the part where he yells STAY WOKE STAY WOKE makes my ears bleed.
I see nothing good in this song, and the lyrics do not make any sense at all.
So please, someone tell me how is this song "amazing" for all of you. Thanks.

"Praying" can still go f uck itself. At least Praying has a story and a meaning, while Redbone does not.

I'm more surprised that "Praying" beat "Perfect Places" by as much as it did. I thought it would be much closer.
Stay woke.
(If only people loved "Me and Your Mama" here with the same fervor or as much as "Redbone". That song is an instant classic.)

And it’s not that boring, it’s a relaxing song. Plus, one of the best instrumentals of the year. :)

Thank you to everyone who participated that made this Madness tournament our most played in Madness history! I want to give a specific thank you to Az Paynter for being my handy sidekick and helping me smooth out a lot of this. This tournament probably wouldn't even be in the Top 64 right now without him, lol. This was our biggest tournament yet with 43 participants. I never would have thought I'd be the host of something this great. This obviously lasted a lot longer than I anticipated (we literally went through almost the whole fall season, lol), and there were a lot of kinks along the way, but we made it! I'm happy that I made it in the Top 2, even if I didn't win ( and I find the song that won overrated). Re: my comment on "Praying" being a basic winner: I'm honestly happy that "Redbone" won because who would have expected that in the beginning? I pegged "Praying" (and "New Rules" for that matter) as an early winner, and I think it would have been dull if it won. Who doesn't like drama? I know I do! I do however want to take this time to apologize for my sort of poor hosting duties on this one. Az (or MATTHEW!) had to fill in for a lot of the results posting because I was unavailable, which happened a lot more frequently than I wanted to. I've had a really full plate this semester, so there were times I just couldn't be at the top of my game. This started off really complicated because of the unexpected number of participants and the delays we had because of that. All I know is for March Madness, I will probably have Az help me out again with hosting (if he's up for it/if I actually need him). As well as sadly having to take less songs from people. But things will get better, I PROMISE! Also, I want to apologize for one more thing: I COMPLETELY forgot to keep track of standings during this game, so there won't be a final standings update. I may in the future go through the Challonge bracket and get records from everyone, but it won't be a 'who got out first' type ordeal. As for the next Madness tournament, we'll be doing things a bit differently. Again, this lasted way longer than I wanted it to, so I don't think doing another Madness tournament is a good idea before March Madness. If I do, it'll be a little too much for me, and for everyone else. Instead, we'll be doing something a bit different that I hope you like. Say hello to the 2017 Wintertime Madness: pulsemusic.proboards.com/thread/172226/2017-wintertime-madness-rankdown-dueOne last time:

I see nothing good in this song, and the lyrics do not make any sense at all. So please, someone tell me how is this song "amazing" for all of you. Thanks. "Redbone" was one of my picks so I guess I feel obliged to answer this. Well the vocals definitely can be polarizing, so I'll give you that. I actually don't mind the vocals though, I think the vocal delivery fits the song well, but I'm biased here since I love this song and I've heard it so many times that it just sounds natural to me at this point. The instrumentation/production is great though. "Redbone" does the throwback sound very well imo, I don't even know what instrument does that repeating riff in the chorus, but I just love that riff. The guitar in the outro is awesome too. Also the "Stay Woke" lyric. I know he doesn't use it in a social issue context, but that lyric just hits me. It was used in the opening credits for Get Out (amazing movie btw), so I have positive associations with the song which does affect my perception of the song.

I don't mind how long this took tbh and think you handled and executed the hosting well maine So don't beat yourself over this Besides it surely was a lot of songs this time around given the increase in participants Overall I enjoyed it a lot, even though some of the puns induce some harmless but acceptable cringe Looking forward to the Wintertime Madness Rankdown & ofc the next March Madness

Stay pressed I think you're not paying enough attention if you think "Redbone" is THE worst song in this tournament :kii: On another note, thanks for hosting James and Az (or Matthew, should I say hehe)!
