Four songs have made the list of "the essentials." It's time to see the next four. Here comes the Grab Bag Region:
#1 We Are Loved VS #9 Do Not Move
This one is actually pretty tough. Both songs are solid, and they're not exactly as far apart in quality as the seeding might suggest. It's close, but ultimately I'm going to go with the high seed. It's just a bit better, and I feel better with it on my essentials list than I do with Do Not Move.
We Are Loved advances
#2 Church Music-Dance! VS #7 Oh, Great Love Of God
This one is not nearly as close as the first match-up. Oh, Great Love Of God is a solid song, don't get me wrong. But Church Music is way too much fun. It represents some of the best Crowder has to offer, and it advances easily.

#3 Can You Feel It? VS #11 We Won't Be Quiet
This one is another tough one. Can You Feel It? is a great song, and it's got some solid qualities all around. We Won't Be Quiet is equally solid, and there is the Ted Nugent factor. Ultimately, the difference here will be in the lyrics. Can You Feel It? is a solid song, but We Won't Be Quiet has a better feel as a worship song overall. That's why it's going to pull off the biggest upset of the tournament to date.
We Won't Be Quiet advances
#4 Come Find Me VS #5 A Beautiful Collision
As you might expect, a 4v5 match-up is going to be a close one. Both songs have great qualities that have put them into the high seeds to begin with. The difference here is going to be in the music itself. Come Find Me has some fun moments, but A Beautiful Collision is better representative of Crowder's entire career. That is the necessary edge in this one.
A Beautiful Collision advances
So four more songs advance, including one big upset. Will we see any more surprises? We'll have to wait until next time, when we hit the Worship Team Region. Here's the current bracket.
