It takes like 30 seconds. Tori has been 21 for the last TWO weeks and 13 before that - let's push her back up in an unprecedented move. Most here like 'fucking the system' so let's to it to JJJ after how many months, lets make Tori go back up again! People who are on the Dent forums send the call out again... go here: http://triplej.abc.net.au/net50/vote.htm np: "Rouge City" - A.I. soundtrack. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2001 14:00:11 -0800 (PST) From: Nathan R Subject: Re: [oztori] GO VOTE NOW Can I just have my little insignificant rant about the "Hottest" (sic) 100? The choice of songs they list as voting options truly sucks... I tend to find that the list is waaaaaaaaaay skewed to songs released in the latter part of the year (my, what short memories they have), and they usually only contain ONE measley song by each artiste - - eg. Depeche Mode they list "Freelove", but not "Dream On" or "I Feel Loved" which were singles before it, and made much more of an impact. Plus.. "Strange Little Girl" is hardly Tori's best song. And... the list of options is usually full of Aussie shit like Powderfinger.. (lol dare I say that?!). Just because it's Australian, doesn't mean it's worthy. hehehe.. I've no doubt offended a few with that remark. And on the Roozi slant... they typically have sooooooooo few songs containing female vocals. I think in the '98 hottest 100, there were something like about only FOUR songs with female vocals in the Top 50. But then again, the average JJJ Hottest 100 voter is a teenaged (no offence lil dan) guy who thinks muzak such as the Offspring is 'challenging' and that Eminem is God.

Gee, dictate-to-us-what-will-make-the-Hottest-100 much? Wide selection guys... NOT. Needless to say... Tori still probably won't make it anyway.. lol.
