Live With Me, All Down The Line, When The Whip Comes Down, Respectable apparently rehearsed, not even played once. Legit as these votes are, the way they set them up renders them useless. If there had not been a vote, we might have gotten all of these songs at least once in the rotation slots.
the problem with the song vote is they way how they combine the songs in the vote. Just one example: If there's She's A Rainbow in the song vote no other song has a chance to win.
There are basically two solutions to get more variation: a.) combine songs that are similar in respect to popularity in
one song vote b.) ban songs that have already won the song vote once or twice from further song vote during a tour
On the other hand: they tried there best with Live With Me - with six appearances in was featured in nearly every second song vote. Thus in the end it might be true that it's after all all the voter's fault
