Ah, made 2 unpopular calls and got 1 of them right. Not bad, though.

TBH, I think the only reason Grand Galop Chromatique won is because it's name is fairly clickbait-ish, so people watched the video, took one look at the massive/rapid leaps, and voted for it.
Explains why more than half of all brackets had it in the last four.

The La Campanella vs. Feux Follets vote has been back and forth a lot.
Currently 13-11.
