Well I am no longer looking at this as a contest.
There have been 20 songs added to the Southern Rock Channel since this morning.
The 4 songs that I mentioned earlier are still in the last 5. That means all twenty of the new songs started out at a higher position. They already have an advantage. It is the tenth day of voting and those 4 songs have to play catch up to the songs that were entered today.
I don't see why a new song is entered ahead of songs that have been there for ten days.

How can a contest be fair when some songs are getting rotated in a dozen times and some songs none.

Maybe their algorithm is planned that way. I don't know anything about that stuff. If a song is favored more maybe it gets played more but as far as I can tell those four songs are not getting judged at all.

I think I am about done fooling with this site.
I'll try one more round of voting for a couple hours to see if I get the same results. If I do then I think I'll just leave my songs where they are and not participate any more.

I am not passing judgment on the site. This is just what I observed during the few hours of voting I did this morning.

I couldn't manipulate my song if I wanted to. It never came up for voting.

The only time it did was once yesterday and to test what I have been reading I decided to vote it better than the song it competed against. The good thing was it came up against the number one song and even though I did think the other song was darn good I still liked mine better. I voted for my song and The next time I checked my song was in last place, LOL.

I also ran into covers that were there yesterday. I reported them. They are still there. I assume you are only supposed to put covers in the cover channel. All other channels are for original music only. I might be wrong about that.

So lesson learned. Don't vote your own song better. you get penalized.
