Yeah, right.
I fought like H*ll for SMAP. But it would have lost with a bigger difference than now Strand, if it got to the final. A lotta people over here hate that song bigtime, so I just had to take the position that this game was NOT about songquality but going for who deserves to win the competition. I totally adore Storms and I think it's the best thing she's ever written. But I would have voted for WATL, if that one had to be in the final against Storms.
This game lost it's focus on the songs VERY early. I'm okay with that, but please don't come up with the quality of the songs in the final: besides, I disagree with you when it comes to the complexity and brilliance- discussion between Storms and IKINW. I didn't interfere in that one because it stinks imo. If SMAP and Storms had been the last two you could have said the same thing: (manipulated quote by shackin'up

As for Storms being more complex, the layered vocals, the vocal structure itself, the lyrics themselves, the somewhat syncopated style, the soft drumming, LB's (apparently) beautiful arangement, the vocal (all 12 or so layers of them), her complex harmony structure (which I cannot imagine how long it took her to come with that yet people who never sang harmony in thier lives think it just happens ), and the lack of the simple guitar repeating the same hook over and over again all go a long way in expressing yearning, frailty, passion, wanting, and any other purient emotion Storms CLEARLY conveys and all of which make it more complex than SMAP.

Would you still have voted for Storms?
