My votes are not based on any musical know-how, on recording or producing or writing the song. My choices are based on my appreciation of the artist, the song writers, the songs, and of the record. I hope I don't get any complaints that I should've voted for this artist instead of that one, because, hell, IT'S MY VOTE, so there =P
