I think Ourstage is Honest. I don't think they are doing anything to manipulate the standings. If my song is not doing well it is because I have not given the listener something to like. My song in Country, done by demo service, has swung from #51 to #319 That's a heck of a swing, LOL.
My song in traditional never seems to move. Stays right around 60 all the time. It did move as new songs were entered the same number of places added to the total then stopped doing that. As new songs were added it stayed between 60 and 66. I think it jmped to around 26 or 28 last month but then dropped back.
There are some really awesome songs on there.
I am sure there is organized voting going on but I doubt it is Ourstage's fault.
As far as trying to figure out if all the songs are getting the same number of battles I am not the least bit interested in sitting through several thousand battles to prove it. That's up to Ourstage to provide that transparency.
Until that happens I don't think I'll be entering very many more songs. Maybe if I get a really smokin' demo done I'll consider it.
I also wish they wolud allow us to remove our songs, or at least edit them. If we can withdraw them from the competition why can't we delete them?
