MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS beats EASTER PARADE by one vote to land a spot in the final four....

 Judy just can't wait to spread the news about Meet Me In St. Louis winning a trip to the Final Four


I doubt Judy Garland would complain but sentimental favorite Meet Me In St. Louis beat Easter Parade 12-11 to take the second spot in the final four of the favorite classic musical film tournament. It was back and forth for the entire match as Parade jumped out to an early lead, then St. Louis came back to tie and then pull ahead by 3 votes. Easter Parade made a strong rally that fell just one vote shy. Regardless, we have our second film set for the finals and now must wait on the 50's and 60's eras to play out. Congrats to all the fans of Meet Me In St. Louis who voted for that film to win. Side note: Meet Me in St. Louis also prevented Fred Astaire from placing his second film in the final four. Swing Time won the 30's era last week and had Easter Parade won, they would have been going to the dance together. Oh well.

It's MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS vs EASTER PARADE for a spot in the FINAL FOUR (40's Era)

As expected Meet Me In St. Louis beat For Me and My Gal 18-3 and Easter Parade defeated The Harvey Girls 11-6 to set up one heck of a finals match of the 40's Era. The winning film earns a trip to the Favorite Classic Musical Film Tournament Final Four, where Swing Time is waiting as the winner of the 30's era. Judy Garland dominated the 40's era like no one else with all four of her films making it to the semi-final matches. And guaranteeing that a Judy Garland would be present in the final four. So Meet Me In St. Louis faces off against Easter Parade which should make for an exciting match. Starts immediately and runs through Tuesday night 8 pm EST.

1940'S ERA CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

3 MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS (1944)

VS

4 EASTER PARADE (1948)

WHOA! Judy Garland places all four of her films in the semi-finals....a remarkable feat

Judy Garland started off the 40's era with four films competing out of the 16 films chosen. Those same four films each made it to the semi-final matches of the Favorite Classic Musical Film Tournament over on Singin and Dancing Back in Time, which I am hosting for my friend Dawn. How impressive is that. Look at the final tally: The Harvey Girls knocked off top seed Yankee Doodle Dandy 14-4 in a blow-out win. Easter Parade edged out On The Town 12-7. For Me and My Gal upset 2nd seed Going My Way 11-5. And sentimental favorite Meet Me In St. Louis just beat down Holiday Inn 15-3 like it stole something, in the most lopsided match. So it is safe to say that one Judy Garland film will reach the final four. Hats off to the remarkable Ms. Garland. Here are the two semi-final matches which start immediately and will run through Saturday night 8pm EST. Click on the link to go cast your vote: Favorite Classic Film Musical Tournament
