With all the voting done except for the finals, let’s take a look at some of the numbers.
Here’s how our eight finalists rank in terms of highest total percentage of vote throughout the tournament:
George Younce – 93.0%
Tim Riley – 83.5%
Glen Payne – 82.6%
Mark Trammell – 80.2%
Jay Parrack – 63.0%
David Phelps – 60.1%
Guy Penrod – 58.7%
Jim Brady – 55.6%
It’s interesting that our two most dominant singers are facing each other in the finals. That is definitely the one to keep an eye on, in my opinion. Jim Brady has been the beneficiary of the closest wins.
Which groups have performed the best in the tournament?
- The Kingsmen had the most total entrants in the tournament (9) followed by the Cathedrals and Gold City (8 each)
- The Cathedrals had the most alumni (6) in the second round, followed by Gold City (5).
- The Cathedrals and Gold City both had 4 in the third round.
- The Cathedrals and Gold City were both 3-1 in the third round, while the Gaither Vocal Band went 2-0. Jim Brady of the Booth Brothers is the only finalist not from one of those three groups.
- Signature Sound members and alumni were 3-0 in the first round, but 0-3 in the second round.
Despite having all those entrants, the George Younce vs. Tim Riley match is the only Cathedrals vs. Gold City matchup of the tournament! Starting to anticipate it even more?
Jay Parrack, beware…Gaither Vocal Band alumni are 3-0 against Gold City alumni (Penrod beat Wilburn and Parker, while Phelps has beaten Brian Free).
Now, what about how you voted individually? Through your discussions and comments, I was able to keep track of how many of you voted if you chose to make it public. Special thanks to yankeegospelgirl, who is the only person who commented publicly with every vote they made in the tournament. For each person for whom I was able to record more than 20 votes, here are the top winning percentages. In other words, how often did the person you picked win their matchup? Again, these are just the ones I have recorded that you made public, either here or on Absolutely Gospel’s forum.
David Bruce Murray – 84.4%
lee65 – 78.6%
Adam Edwards – 77.3%
Joe M – 72.7%
quartet-man – 71.7%
Brian (me) – 69.6%
yankeegospelgirl – 67.9%
Daniel Mount – 66.7%
Brad – 62.5%
Maestro – 60.0%
david – 48.1% (going against the grain!)
Thanks for all your participation, in votes and comments, so far. It has exceeded my expectations, and has been a lot of fun for me. I hope it has been for you as well. See you Monday for the finals!
