Subject: *Possible* Voting fraud

Written By: wdh on 07/27/03 at 06:59 a.m.

Sorry if I'm wrong, but it's kinda hard to believe that a new parody artist got 41 votes on their first song:

Yeah guys, this doesn't look right.  I just read the parody, and while it was a good idea and had lots of potential I thought the pacing was a wee bit off at times...nothing to warrant straight 5's :-/

despite their insistence to the contray, they clearly voted for their own song, it was pretty blatant actually... so I removed it.. I've no patience for people like this, and for them to claim otherwise, knowing that they did indeed cheat, is pretty low

ok....um, not to come off desperate for a hit here, but with this song gone off the charts, would the charts not be altered so that right now Guy DiRito's "Im not black" would be number one instead of this song?  And Phil's "Mend my PC" wouldve been atop longer...or is this song gonna take the credit as a number one hit even though its been deleted?

One possibility for a newbie is that they could have an established audience from their own site. They discover amiright.com, put up a song and direct their fan base there (one day I'll do that and my fans will swamp you all! Both of them!).

Unlikely, but it could happen.

Good theory, but I thought frankly that the song sucked, and it got 4.9s
