Someone could just blindly vote without even viewing for the videos. For example 'A' uploads his video and gets all his friends to vote for him and they vote without bothering to view the YouTube page or video. But then again, this does not take away the possibility of multiple votes by the same person. If you take a look at the number of votes, Nuffnang must have done some homework. The votes have decreased dramatically, votes from similar IPs were probably weeded out. But then again, and again, these are dynamic IPs... so go figure out. May the best video win.

Doesn't that tell you the whole voting part should be ignored? Go back to the old fashioned way and let the Mac judges decide. hmmm… seems like nuffnang doing the cleaning up now and looks like EVERYONE is guilty of having “invalid votes”, whether intentional or not.

Chances are there should be much more views than votes logically. Brilliant, I never was good at math. hahahaha! tt’s called “caught red-handed”.

Don't worry, mine won't win (not that good). Now that the contest is almost over and I have no hope to win, I can be open. I think people are pointing fingers all over the place and gone mad. My friend also entered a video. And what do you know? Before him even asking for votes, his count suddenly increased on its own by almost 100 in 3.5 hours! Hantu? Or my theory above correct?... you tell me. I wish someone would let my video tumpang up also, but sadly no one even want to smell. So my fren's video enjoy the tumpang until yesterday when the voting was soooooo hangat! My friend video suddenly hilang petrol. He kena ditch already. I think it takes too much time to vote for 2 video. Also, doesn't it make sense? If you know nuffnang going to check for fake votes so you vote for 2,3 or more to cover your own fake vote, which ONE nuffnang going to consider valide? Your vote count go up, but so does the other 2,3,4 or 10 other people to cover your own! So The Public is very correct. The voting system is to be blame in the first place. It is totally implemented WRONG from day one. Let's not go mad people. Whether you wan to belief it or not, I also voted for hiphop because I thought it was clumsy but cute. Come to think of it, I voted for more than half the contestants (some at random)!!!! I possibly contributed to the mess also!!!! But wha the heck, the contest is over.... siapa menang I know it is not me... sigh. Nina, yes, I am one of the contestant. Don’t worry, mine won’t win (not that good).

It is not fool proof, they don't verify emails, and all these will tempt people to vote multiple times. Maybe they should also release the final results, maybe top 10 or something like that. Transparency is the key. I think the voting system shouldn’t even be there. It is not fool proof, they don’t verify emails, and all these will tempt people to vote multiple times.

Let's be logical. If someone were to vote for themself up to be number one knowing that EVERYONE would notice, he'd should be thick skin enough to see it through (like the current ones). It just doesn make sense that they would also stop cold turkey which would ALSO BE SO DAM OBVIOUS. THAT would make the REALL?Y look like he was cheating. Joanna may be correct. As we get near the end of the contest, the 'passengers' are being ditched. To go all the way to the top then fall totally off just doesn't make sense. Either this fellow is very, very stupid or he was used as a conveneint scapegoat. BTW... i DID vote for his video (plus others) but that doesn't mean ''m on his side. Nuffnang, I don't think it is proper to allow commenters to state video names here. You are supposed to maintain impartiality, since you alreay say you can detect the cheaters. Let's be fair to all.
