THIS IS MY FIRST YEAR AS A CONTESTANT, AND THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR THAT ONLINE VOTING WILL PLAY A ROLE IN CHOOSING CONTESTANTS. IS THE VOTING FAIR? I WENT THROUGH AND PERSONALLY VOTED FOR EVERY CONTESTANT. THERE ARE SOME GOOD CONTESTANTS THAT ARE NOT BEING FAIRLY VOTED. THEIR RECORDING QUALITY MAY NOT BE THE BEST, BUT THEIR SINGING IS. I AM CURIOUS TO SEE THE OUTCOMES OF THIS CONTEST!!!!!!!

I noticed the same exact thing.
