I’ve been watching the battles for several months now and I’ve come to conclude that our placing in the finals is a reflection of our promotional talents and not necessarily the merits of our songwriting abilities. It should be that songwriters vote for the songs that they feel are the best songs and deserve to win. What I’ve noticed is that doesn’t necessarily happen. Really good songs have been top 10 and then drifted off into never-never land because votes are pouring in for average songs trying to place, with lots of friends helping to vote them in.

Such is a battle for songs being heard and voted for. My personal feeling is that the best songs should win because everyone honestly votes for the better songs.
