Mirage: Favorite Non-Hits

[WildHearted]

^So would you have preferred that instead of pitting the songs against each other, we first grouped by writer first, and then put the results from THOSE polls against each other? I think we'd end up with the same result, though, in the end.

no - just pick favorites for each songwriter and that's it. of course, when MSB offered that option, most didn't like it. guess i always go against the grain.

that's why we started doing polls in LB forum - they have less voters, but i learned a lot about the actual songs in the course of doing them.

That's the way I did both the 2010 favorite song contest and last years least favorite song contest.

It's working out nicely just lumping the songs in one poll and then having album finals. It's a few less polls for me run versus having four polls per album - Christine, Stevie, Lindsey, and finals.

Also with songs being removed as "hits", a lot of the polls would just have two options, kinda a waste in my opinion.

Of course on the Pre-Rumours forum they think all my polls are a waste!
