21 - ELIMINATED ROUND 1 (lol)
22 - ELIMINATED ROUND 1 (lol)
23 - 0 with 1 to play (Alien Go Homerun)
24 - ELIMINATED ROUND 2

Seeding, of course, means absolutely nothing once the bracket is released, but I know there's been some murmurs about how off the seeding was this year. But 1-4 has 14 songs left, 5-8 has 10, and the rest of the field has 12. That's pretty close to what I would have expected/wanted by this point of the contest from a design perspective.
