You people are weird. Vote by Saturday at 7 pm PST, and I’ll give through Saturday to get your nominations for the best version of “O Holy Night”. #5 Branches vs. #9 Sleeping at Last [polldaddy poll=10191156]   #6 Five Strings vs. #10 Slavic Chorale [polldaddy poll=10191157]

My brain is trying all the things. “I’m not mad, I’m disappointed.” “I can still listen to what I want to listen to.” “I know you are, but what am I?” BUT IT’S NOT WORKING!!! I hate democracy. I’m all for rule by the superior …

…Jeff Johnson, Brian Dunning, and Wendy Goodwin! The 11 seed emerges victorious. Thanks for joining in, and be sure to vote for the best version of “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day” by Wednesday at 5 pm PST.

…Leslie Odom Jr. and PS 22, in a popular and electoral landslide! Thanks for joining in the abbreviated fun this year! We will be back at it in 11 and a half months! Merry Christmas!

I’ve never had people agree with me this much! Only Pentatonix as a 6 seed broke their way into the final four instead of my #3 pick, Whitney Houston. Now it gets real. Four left, and since Elaine and I leave on Saturday, you need …
