I don't understand why there is such a discussion on censorship concerning the song to which Tammy objects. This is a very simple out of genre issue. OurStage could be considered fraudulent in allowing a song - that is obviously not in any reasonable person's mind a Christian song - to compete in the Christian genre. Christian music fans listen in to hear Christian music. So they rightfully expect Christian music when they participate in voting in a Christian music genre. OurStage has been quick to move songs that had a lot less obvious case of genre conflict - as testified in numerous posts on this thread in the past. If battles against this song yield unfavorable results for bonafide Christian songs competing, I see a basis for a class action suit, if this out of genre song would win. I don't think such an action would be of benefit - but someone may do it on the basis of principle. OurStage is very foolish if they take a chance on letting things take their course here.
