I have to change my vote. I swore I saw a different version of the Swift video which was entirely a performance video.

This one actually has a story. Something videos have been lacking over some time.

Taylor Swift.

[Spinal]

Little action for the other two. Gonna go ahead and call it.

Bright Eyes 6
Beirut 1
Bjork 0

Bright Eyes - "First Day of My Life"

[Spinal]

Had a surge of votes here. Good enough to call it.

Taylor Swift 6
Kanye 3
Beyonce 3

Taylor Swift - "You Belong With Me"

[Spinal]

Let's go ahead and push this one along too.

All tied up. Gonna let the next voter decide it.

We now have a field of 128 remaining. Thank you to all those who assisted with this long play-in process. I am happy that we were able to give every nomination a chance and I think we have a stronger selection because of it.

The brackets will be announced shortly. New battles will be one on one. I will be seeding based on my perception of how likely the video is to go far in the tournament. (Performance in play-in round, votes and feedback received, popularity of artist/song/director will be considered.)

The next round will begin sometime next week. I need a break and I'm sure you do too.
