(3) Mumford & Sons vs. (14) Tokio Hotel
Mumford & Sons are the Cinderella story of the year, a folk and bluegrass combo who have steadily picked up fans and respect all around the world (and they’ve sold a million albums to boot). Meanwhile, Tokio Hotel was the Cinderella story of last year’s Musical March Madness tournament, as they overcame their low seed to fly all the way to the Final Four before being ousted by eventual champs Coheed and Cambria. With a slightly better seed and a bit more experience under their belts, can Tokio Hotel make that extra push, or will Mumford & Sons spoil the party? Your votes decide it!
The South bracket also featured two upsets, as 11th-seeded Adele took out Kid Rock, and Tokio Hotel toppled Mumford & Sons. Tokio Hotel‘s success isn’t surprising, as they have one of the most devoted fan bases on the Internet.
