josh's 2012 year-end tournament (finished!)

[josh]

Rules:

• You will only vote for the song you want to advance, not the other way around like Slizzard's sometimes did.
  
• Each round will last 24 hours. If I take more than 24 hours to post the next round, I will accept any votes that come before I post the results and the new match-ups.
  
• You can pass on a match-up if you want to.
  
• Ties will go to the higher seed.

I think that's all.

Totally copying Slizzard but whatever. After this I might do my top albums, which will be much shorter. Idk.

The full bracket: challonge.com/jw40_2012

Oh and for those who don't know, my chart didn't start until July so there's a lot of 2012 songs nowhere to be found, or other ones (Starships, Love You Like a Love Song) are super low.
