How Music Video Madness Works
The Bracket will have the winners of the 8 games going to an Elite Eight set up over this coming weekend Until we get to a Final Four which will have the Southeast region winner facing off against the Northeast region winner while the Southwest region winner will face the Northwest region winner. Finally, the final two winners will battle to see who will follow Craig Campbell, Andy Gibson, Aaron Lewis and Robby Johnson in being crowned the winner of the Roughstock's Fifth Annual Music Video Madness.
We ask that you view each music video before voting and that you choose a favorite. You can vote as much as you want but you MUST vote for each of the 8 games in round one.

Matt, in your first paragraph, would you have put Home Free under 'upcoming stars'? Country music started as people sitting around, just a-singin'... :)

While on this site voting for Home Free saw the info. on the editor, love it whenever a sip of good whiskey is part of any conversation. First experience with this poll thing loving it.

There are 8 left & you have to vote on each of the 4 'battles' (incl. Home Free), then each of those 4 winners will 'battle' one of the other 3, then those last 2 winners will 'battle' each other...Then we'll have the winner! G'luck! :)
