The 6th annual MTV Musical March Madness starts now. MTV has changed all its criteria. Letting the fans nominate the artists - since 2014. From rock band/artists to rock-inspired artists slugging it out for the crown. From 64 to 32 artists and fan clubs rivaling to get the championship. Palaye Royale is not nominated for the competition, leaving the championship and trophy vacant. Now, I have my predictions based on experiences and the strength of the artists' fans to upset a poll.
Round 1 of voting started, March 16 and ends on March 19. Here is the list of match-ups on the starting round. I wanna categorize it to East and West since MTV has removed the regions in this year's competitions. Also, I put numbers for you to know who's the top seed since MTV (also removed it to this year's contest)
East Region
(#1) Paramore vs (#16) Charli XCX
(#8) Rae Sremurd vs (#9) Lorde
(#5) 30 Seconds To Mars vs (#12) Bleachers
(#4) 5 Seconds of Summer vs (#13) Haim
(#6) Rixton vs (#11) Bea Miller
(#3) Lana Del Rey vs (#14) Wiz Khalifa

(#2) Rihanna vs (#15) Walk the Moon
Round 1 started wildly as fans voted for their favorite artists. In the first part of round 1, the East Region handled the competition properly as top seed Paramore bested out Charli XCX. Powerhouses, 30 Seconds To Mars and Fall Out Boy seems to easily defeat their rivals. Lorde is leading against Rae with double digits. 5 Seconds of Summer who made it to the Sweet 16 round last year made a sweet lead against Haim. Debuters in this contests, Bea Miller upsets Rixton. Lana and Kelly seems to trail off to their rivals.
Meanwhile in the West Region, top seed One Direction is leading over Ryn Weaver. 2012 champ, Tokio Hotel is crushing Mark Ronson's hope to reach the 2nd round while 2013 champ Ed Sheeran is having a neck to neck race with singer Tove Lo. Maroon 5 is leading against Demi while Action is leading against Fka. Nick Jonas, unshockingly, trails off against Misterwives. The most shocking of all in the West Region, #2 Rihanna is handled by #15 powerhouse, Walk the Moon.
ROUND 1 RESULTS AND START OF ROUND 2/SWEET 16 ROUND
The first round of MTV's Musical March Madness is having a full of upsets -- like it never happened before. In the East Region, every expectations are met except for Kelly Clarkson who made an early goodbye because Echosmith have race against her in the last hours of the competition. So the match-up for East Region is this.
(#1) Paramore vs (#9) Lorde
(#5) 30 Seconds to Mars vs (#4) 5 Seconds of Summer
(#11) Bea Miller vs (#3) Lana Del Rey
(#10) Echosmith vs (#2) Fall Out Boy
Upsets happened in the West Region as #16 seed Ryn Weaver defeats top seed One Direction with 1,200 votes only. She will fight Imagine Dragons who defeated Ke$ha in the first round. The biggest rematch is happening right now as 2012 champ Tokio Hotel takes on 2013 champ Ed Sheeran. Who will give justice to the heated 2013 Final Four match-ups? Is it the Aliens? Or the Sheerios? You decide! Demi Lovato upset Maroon 5 in the last minutes of Round 1 and will take on Action who easily defeated Fka. Misterwives upset Nick Jonas while #15 Walk the Moon upset #2 Rihanna. So the match-up for West Region is this.
(#16) Ryn Weaver vs (#8) Imagine Dragons
(#5) Tokio Hotel vs (#4) Ed Sheeran
(#6) Demi Lovato vs (#14) Action Bronson
(#10) Misterwives vs (#15) Walk the Moon
Round 2 is way differ than the previous Round 1. In the East, top seed Paramore is leading against Lorde. 2013 runner-up 30 Seconds to Mars is having a lead over 5 Seconds of Summer. Lana Del Rey trails off Bea Miller while Fall Out Boy is having some neck to neck competition with Echosmith.
In the West Region, everything seems so expected as Imagine Dragons trails off Ryn Weaver. 2012 champ Tokio Hotel seems having their justice serves right as they crushing Ed Sheeran's bid for 2nd time championship. Demi seems handling Action very well and #15 Walk the Moon is doing their usual job to upset #10 Misterwives.
PREDICTIONS
As the Round 2 of Musical March Madness still ongoing, I have made some predictions in this competitions. In the East Region, Round 3 match ups will be like this, according to current results. (#1) Paramore will take on (#5) 30 Seconds to Mars. (#3) Lana Del Rey will face off (#2) Fall Out Boy. In the West Region, (#8) Imagine Dragons will face off (#5) Tokio Hotel and (#6) Demi Lovato will fight (#15) Walk the Moon.
In this ROUND 3/ELITE 8 MATCH UPS, (East Region) 30 Seconds of Mars will have a guts to defeat co-powerhouse band, Paramore as what Echelons did on the 2013 MMM. As the perennial powerhouse, Fall Out Boy will defeat Lana Del Rey with ease.
In the wild West Region, (#5) Tokio Hotel will defeat (#8) Imagine Dragons. Being the 2012 champ, Tokio Hotel is a no newbie in this way but his path to success is controversial. 2013 Final Four relaunched marked the rigging of polls by the TH fans. One IP address votes 22, 22, 22, 23 and 25 for Tokio Hotel. (Also, remember the CAPTCHA) They made it to the Elite 8 round of 2014 MMM. Demi Lovato will take over perennial powerhouse Walk the Moon. Demi Lovato has a lot of fans out there and in other poll, they were leading with a big lead against their rivals.
In FINAL FOUR MATCH UPS, 30 Seconds to Mars will defeat Fall Out Boy as what kind of experience they have been through. Demi Lovato will defeat Tokio Hotel. Well Demi's fans are well prepared and has a sense of unity that may upset Tokio Hotel. Just like what they did to Maroon 5 in the First Round.
THE CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE will be tough as 30 Seconds To Mars battling Demi Lovato but the Echelons will survive Demi's fans as they'll crown as champions.
