So it is a popularity contest to see who has the most fans. I am sorry I did not realise that. I thought let the fans decide was a general term meaning music fans not particualrily loyal to any artist to judge what they thought was the best song.

Well I apologise for being rude but stick to my guns. If what you say is the case then that sucks. THAT is being rude to people who are relying on fair and impartial voting. No wonder the results are all over the place.
