You asked for people to vote off one song. Erotic City won the vote off 28-23! (with 3 argueable votes, which make no difference to the end result).

Now you've editted the text out!

Shes Always In My Hair was the fans choice as the winner.

I just looked at the 'final' thread, and with a lot of people you can't tell whether they're voting off the track they name or want it to win. Clearly at the last hurdle people abandoned the usual voting pattern. It appears to me that She's Always in My Hair did get more votes to be the winner - but since people gave vague answers, you've got to call this result null and void and do it over, making sure people are aware they have to make it clear whether they're naming their favourite or least favourite.

And I can say that without prejudice because I didn't even vote.

Damn, Erotic City won. I was really hoping 'She's Always in my Hair" would get it, but at least it finished 2nd.

Last I checked, Erotic City was ahead 28-27. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't think I ever voted on it but at least I see my favorite B-Side won.

I'm still upset that 17 Days isn't number one, Damn U Orgers.

It's clear people got confused about whether they were voting for the winner or voting for their least favourite. This is a list of the ambivalent votes:

Now did you interpret this as a vote for or against Erotic City winning?

Erotic City is clearly the winner

Erotic City was the song I wanted voted off.
She's Always In My Hair is my choice of the best B-side.

It is really easy to tell. Assuming (after 20 plus rounds!!) people know the rules and as it CLEARLY SAID "You are voting for the song you want OFF" then if someone just writes "Erotic City" then they want it to LOSE, not win. Duh!

MrSquiggle said:

Yep, by close, Erotic city had 28 votes. Thats votes OFF according to your rules. So Shes Always In My Hair won. I wad it 23 (with 3-4 votes which are not clear). Either way, Erotic City lost.

If you admit it got the most votes off, how can you declare it the winner?

That said,
WE NEED A NEW VOTING FOR THE WINNER!!!

SquirrelMeat said:

As an impartial observer - I totally agree. If there were more votes FOR Erotic city, and as you say "Erotic city was ahead 28-27, and those votes were for Erotic City to be VOTED OFF as per the rules and as Misty2K reitterated,

THEN LOGICALLY EROTIC CITY WAS VOTED OFF AND SHE'S ALWAYS IN MY HAIR WON BY 1 VOTE!!!!!

I have been through the (now closed) thread twice - where a track is named only, I have taken it as a vote against, and there are other posts which are more vague but clearly express a like or dislike for one or other track, and both times Erotic City clearly has more votes to be voted off. I actually had it at 29 to 28. Which suggest there are 2 votes which you believe were not explicit enough. If you can supply the names of these two, then I would happily go through it again.

Let's vote again!

Yeah, let's vote again! I want my favorite Erotic City to win without controversy.

Be very clear with the instructions and make sure to note that edited posts don't count. Let do it again!

this seems like florida all over again

Well, I did go through every vote to see if they were voting for or against the song they mentioned, but I can understand a lot of people would've been confused. So I'm holding a recount.
