Mark,

I agree that with so few entries, the field is an "easier negotiation". But, that's not what I am looking for. If I were to win, i want it to be on the merit of the song, not the fact that it has limited competition. I simply abject to the fact that when I was in the top 12% of the original channel, that I was added at the very end of the new channel. I understand that everyone else who was transfered to this new channel held their respective positions in the previous channel. We should have been integrated accordingly, by the respective positions our songs held in the previous channel. I was in the top 12% in Latin. I should be behind anyone who held a better percentage ranking in their previous channels, and ahead of those who held a lower percentage ranking. That would have been fair, in my opinion. It is the proncipal that since I was, apparently, the last one moved, at that tinme, I was arbitrarily placed in the last position. That is what irritates me. I'm not looking for an "easy win". I do not appreciate the fact that it was, apparently, an arbitrary placement, rather than a placement based upon accomplishment up to the point of being moved. Any previous merit that my song received is simply ignored. That's my beef.

But thanks for offering your opinion on it. I appreciate the fact that you offered another point of view. And good luck with your entries. You're a "GREAT" musical talent!
