Are you ready to continue the madness? These are the winners from the first round. You will find some surprises and some relief.

We will compile the numbers and soon find the ultimate 8 Hair Ballads. And don't forget, you will decide the wedding song for the ultimate Motley Crue fan, my buddy Juan.
